Abstract: We show that, given integers $n_1,n_2,ldots,n_k$ with $2<n_1<n_2<cdots<n_k$, there exists a local (Noetherian) unique factorization domain that has maximal chains of prime ideals of lengths $n_1,n_2,ldots,n_k$ which are disjoint except at their minimal and maximal elements. In addition, we demonstrate that unique factorization domains can have other unusual prime ideal structures.

Review text

This paper was motivated by the following question: for which partially ordered sets \(X\) does there exist a local Noetherian unique factorization domain (UFD) \(R\) with a dimension preserving saturated embedding from \(X\) to \(\mathrm{Spec}(R)\)? The authors construct the desired UFD, which is based on the construction of R. C. Heitmann, to obtain a complete local UFD satisfying the condition of question. They show that: For integers \(n_{1}, n_{2}, \dots, n_{k}\) \(2<n_{1}<n_{2}<\dots<n_{k}\), there exists a local UFD \(A\) such that \(A\) has maximal chains of prime ideals of lengths \(n_{1}, n_{2}, \dots, n_{9}\) which are disjoint except at their minimal and maximal elements.
