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.
