Abstract: Let D be a 2-dimensional regular local ring and let Q(D) denote the quadratic tree of 2-dimensional regular local overrings of D. We explore the topology of the tree Q(D) and the family mathcalR(D) of rings obtained as intersections of rings in Q(D). If A is a finite intersection of rings in Q(D), then A is Noetherian and the structure of A is well understood. However, other rings in mathcalR(D) need not be Noetherian. The two main goals of this paper are to examine topological properties of the quadratic tree Q(D), and to examine the structure of rings in the set mathcalR(D).


Let $D$ be a 2-dimensional regular local ring and $Q(D)$ denote the quadratic tree of 2-dimensional regular local overrings of $D$. They explored the topology of the tree $Q(D)$ and the family $R(D)$ of rings obtained as intersections of rings in $Q(D)$. If A is a finite intersection of rings in $Q(D)$, then $A$ is Noetherian and the structure of $A$ is well understood. However, other rings in $R(D)$ need not be Noetherian. The two main goals of this paper are to examine topological properties of the quadratic tree $Q(D)$, and to examine the structure of rings in the set $R(D)$. For example, they shown that the patch limit points of the set $Q(D)$ in $L(D)$ is the set of all valuation rings that birationally dominate $D$. Let $V$ be a Noetherian downset in \(Q^\ast(D)\). Then for every Zariski open subset $U$ of $V$, the ring \(O_U\) is a Noetherian normal domain. Next, they showed the Zariski closure of a nonempty subset $S$ of $Q(D)$ can be calculated from how $S$ is situated in the partially ordered set \(Q^\ast(D)\) and established that every minimal valuation overring of $D$ is a localization of a ring in $R(D)$.
