Abstract It is shown that all equicharacteristic complete local rings can be realized as completions of local rings whose proper localizations are all regular. The only restriction in the mixed characteristic case is that the prime integer cannot be a nonzero zerodivisor in any proper localization of the complete ring. The constructed examples are unique factorization domains whenever possible and in general are as close to being UFDs as the hypothesis will allow.

Characterization of completions of reduced local rings

We find necessary and sufficient conditions for a complete local ring to be the completion of a reduced local ring. Explicitly, these conditions on a complete local ring T with maximal ideal m are…

Local Picard Groups

We use our extension of the Noether-Lefschetz theorem to describe generators of the class groups at the local rings of singularities of very general hypersurfaces containing a fixed base locus. We…

Excellent Rings with Local Generic Formal Fibers

Abstract Let ( T ,  M ) be a complete regular local ring of dimension at least 2, containing the rationals, such that the cardinality of the residue field T / M is at least the cardinality of the…

Some Results on Tight Closure and Completion

Abstract We construct two examples of nonexcellent local Noetherian domains which demonstrate that tight closure and completion do not commute. The first example is a local normal domain A with a…

Constructing Almost Excellent Unique Factorization Domains

Abstract Let (T, M) be a complete local normal integral domain containing the rationals such that |T/M |  ≥ c where c is the cardinality of the real numbers. Let p be a non-maximal prime ideal of T…

CONTROLLING THE GENERIC FORMAL FIBER OF LOCAL DOMAINS AND THEIR POLYNOMIAL RINGS

Let T be a complete local ring with maxi- mal ideal M, C a countable set of incomparable prime ideals of T, and B1 and B2 sets of prime ideals of T((x1;:::;xn)) with cardinality less than that of T.…

Structure of spectra of precompletions

Let T be a complete local (Noetherian) ring and let A be a local subring of T such that the completion of A with respect to its maximal ideal is T. We investigate the possible structures of the…

Gluing minimal prime ideals in local rings

Abstract Let B be a reduced local (Noetherian) ring with maximal ideal M. Suppose that B contains the rationals, B/M is uncountable and Let the minimal prime ideals of B be partitioned into…
