Ideals and multiplicative ideal theory in commutative rings (13A15) Special types (Cohen-Macaulay, Gorenstein, Buchsbaum, etc.) (13H10) Dimension theory, depth, related commutative rings (catenary, etc.) (13C15) Commutative rings and modules of finite generation or presentation; number of generators (13E15)

Abstract: A commutative ring

R

is stable provided every ideal of

R

containing a nonzerodivisor is projective as a module over its ring of endomorphisms. The class of stable rings includes the one-dimensional local Cohen-Macaulay rings of multiplicity at most

2

, as well as certain rings of higher multiplicity, necessarily analytically ramified. The former are important in the study of modules over Gorenstein rings, while the latter arise in a natural way from generic formal fibers and derivations. We characterize one-dimensional stable local rings in several ways. The characterizations involve the integral closure

of

R

and the completion of

R

in a relevant ideal-adic topology. For example, we show: If

R

is a reduced stable ring, then there are exactly two possibilities for

R

: (1)

R

is a {it Bass ring}, that is,

R

is a reduced Noetherian local ring such that

is finitely generated over

R

and every ideal of

R

is generated by two elements; or (2)

R

is a {it bad stable domain}, that is,

R

is a one-dimensional stable local domain such that

is not a finitely generated

R

-module.
