Smooth base change preserves integral closedness #

If R is integrally closed in an R-algebra B and S is a smooth R-algebra, then S is integrally closed in S ⊗[R] B. This is the form of Mathlib's theorem that smooth base change commutes with integral closure (TensorProduct.toIntegralClosure_bijective_of_smooth, Stacks 0CBF) used to show that étale algebras over normal domains are normal: for B the fraction field of an integrally closed domain R, S is integrally closed in its generic fibre.

A smooth R-algebra S is integrally closed in S ⊗[R] B whenever R is integrally closed in B.

Every element of B ⊗[R] S that is integral over R comes from the smooth R-algebra S, when R is integrally closed in B. This is TauCeti.Algebra.Smooth.isIntegrallyClosedIn_tensorProduct with the factors in the other order.
