"Integrally Closed" Under Constructions
The following conditions are equivalent for an integral domain A:
- A is integrally closed;
- Ap (the localization of A with respect to p) is integrally closed for every prime ideal p;
- Am is integrally closed for every maximal ideal m.
1 → 2 results immediately from the preservation of integral closure under localization; 2 → 3 is trivial; 3 → 1 results from the preservation of integral closure under localization, the exactness of localization, and the property that an A-module M is zero if and only if its localization with respect to every maximal ideal is zero.
In contrast, the "integrally closed" does not pass over quotient, for Z/(t2+4) is not integrally closed.
The localization of a completely integrally closed need not be completely integrally closed.

Famous quotes containing the word closed:
“Alas for the cripple Practice when it seeks to come up with the bird Theory, which flies before it. Try your design on the best school. The scholars are of all ages and temperaments and capacities. It is difficult to class them, some are too young, some are slow, some perverse. Each requires so much consideration, that the morning hope of the teacher, of a day of love and progress, is often closed at evening by despair.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
