Nagata rings #
A commutative ring R is Nagata if it is Noetherian and R ⧸ p is a Japanese domain for every
prime ideal p of R (Stacks, Definition 10.162.1 (032R)). Nagata rings are the rings over which
normalization is well behaved: the normalization of an integral scheme whose affine opens have
Nagata section rings, in a finite extension of its function field, is finite (Stacks, Lemma 29.54.14
(0AVK)). Quasi-excellent rings, for instance complete Noetherian local rings and algebras of finite
type over a field or over ℤ, are Nagata (Stacks, Lemma 15.53.5 (07QV)); this file develops the
definition and its elementary permanence properties and examples.
Main definitions and results #
TauCeti.Ring.IsNagata R: the ringRis Nagata.TauCeti.Ring.IsNagata.of_finite: a finite algebra over a Nagata ring is Nagata (Stacks, Lemma 10.162.5 (032T)). In particular quotients of Nagata rings are Nagata (TauCeti.Ring.IsNagata.quotient), and being Nagata is invariant under ring isomorphisms.TauCeti.Ring.IsNagata.of_isLocalization: a localization of a Nagata ring is Nagata (Stacks, Lemma 10.162.6 (032U)).TauCeti.Ring.isNagata_iff_of_span_eq_top: being Nagata is local onSpec R: for elementsf_igenerating the unit ideal,Ris Nagata if and only if everyR_{f_i}is (Stacks, Lemma 10.162.7 (032V)). This is what makes the Nagata property of a scheme, asked of the section rings of its affine opens, checkable on an affine open cover.TauCeti.Ring.IsNagata.isJapanese: a Nagata domain is Japanese.TauCeti.Ring.IsNagata.finite_integralClosure: for a Nagata ringRand a reducedR-algebraSessentially of finite type, the integral closure ofRinSis a finiteR-module (Stacks, Lemma 10.162.2 (03GH)). The ringSembeds in the product of the fraction fields of its quotients by its finitely many minimal primesq, each a finitely generated field extension of the fraction field of the Japanese domainR ⧸ (q ∩ R).TauCeti.Ring.IsNagata.of_krullDimLE_zero: a Noetherian ring of Krull dimension zero, such as a field or an Artinian ring, is Nagata.TauCeti.Ring.isNagata_iff_isJapanese: a Noetherian domain of Krull dimension at most one is Nagata if and only if it is Japanese (Stacks, Example 10.162.17 (09E1) for discrete valuation rings). Henceℤ, and every Dedekind domain whose fraction field is perfect, is Nagata.
Implementation notes #
The rules producing IsNagata from IsNoetherianRing and dimension hypotheses are theorems rather
than instances: as IsNagata extends IsNoetherianRing, such instances would make every search for
IsNoetherianRing or IsJapanese cycle through IsNagata. Fields are the exception, with their
own instance.
