On embedded primary components (Q916732)

Let I be an ideal of a Noetherian local domain R with \(d=depth(R)<\dim (R)\) and the integral closure \(\bar R\) finitely generated over R. If \(d=1\) and no x in \(\bar R\setminus R\) satisfies xI\(\subseteq I\) and \(xM^ k\subseteq R\) for some k then \(M\in Ass(R/I)\). Let R be also a Nagata ring satisfying the dimension formula and let I be generated by a maximal regular sequence. Set \(A=R[t^{-1},It]\) and \(B=A+\sum_{k>0}J_ kt^ k \) where \(J_ k=\cup_{n}I^ k:M^ n \). Then B is integral over A, and if N is an R-ideal containing I and no \(x\in B\setminus A\) satisfies xIA\(\subseteq IA\) then \(M\in Ass(R/N)\). For related work by \textit{S. Oda} and \textit{K. Yoshida} see Kobe J. Math. 5, No.1, 43-55 (1988; Zbl 0695.13007).
