Noetherian Integrally Closed Domain
For a noetherian local domain A of dimension one, the following are equivalent.
- A is integrally closed.
- The maximal ideal of A is principal.
- A is a discrete valuation ring (equivalently A is Dedekind.)
- A is a regular local ring.
Let A be a noetherian integral domain. Then A is integrally closed if and only if (i) A is the intersection of all localizations over prime ideals of height 1 and (ii) the localization at a prime ideal of height 1 is a discrete valuation ring.
A noetherian ring is a Krull domain if and only if it is an integrally closed domain.
In the non-noetherian setting, one has the following: an integral domain is integrally closed if and only if it is the intersection of all valuation rings containing it.

Famous quotes containing the words closed and/or domain:
“Don: Why are they closed? They’re all closed, every one of them.
Pawnbroker: Sure they are. It’s Yom Kippur.
Don: It’s what?
Pawnbroker: It’s Yom Kippur, a Jewish holiday.
Don: It is? So what about Kelly’s and Gallagher’s?
Pawnbroker: They’re closed, too. We’ve got an agreement. They keep closed on Yom Kippur and we don’t open on St. Patrick’s.”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
“You are the harvest and not the reaper
And of your domain another is the keeper.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
