comment “Axiom of global choice”
Dear Sergei, I refer to SGA 4, Expose I, Appendix ("Univers" by N. Bourbaki). I do not know of any translation of SGA, so you have to go with the french original.

comment Subgroup of lattice-ordered group
First, $\sup(x,u)+\sup(y,v)$ is greater than $x+y$ and than $u+v$. Second, if $(a,b,a+b)\in H$ is greater than $(x,y,x+y)$ and $(u,v,u+v)$, then $\sup(x,u)$ is smaller than $a$ and $\sup(y,v)$ is smaller than $b$. Hence, $\sup(x,u)+\sup(y,v)$ is smaller than $a+b$. This yields the claim. (Note that the third component needs to be the sum of the first and the second in order for the triple to be an element of $H$.)

comment Left/right exact functor “in nature” which is not a right/left adjoint
@Liran: The $I$-torsion functor, considered as taking values in the category of $I$-torsion $R$-modules, is right adjoint to the inclusion of the category of $I$-torsion $R$-modules in the category of $R$-modules. But considered as taking values in the category of $R$-modules, you are of course right.

comment Are f.g. projective modules free over total quotient ring of a reduced non-noetherian commutative ring
Is it known that projective modules of finite type over polynomial algebras in countably many indeterminates over fields are free?

comment Where in ordinary math do we need unbounded separation and replacement?
It is not true that Bourbaki's set theory "does not include the axiom [scheme] of replacement". Replacement (or some version thereof) is included in axiom scheme S8 (E.II.1.6). (At least in the 1970 version; I do not know about older versions.)

"...does occur in some valuation rings": This is in fact the case in every valuation ring.

comment Is the empty graph a tree?
@ACL: As far as I know, Bourbaki does not use "nonpositive".

comment Is the empty graph a tree?
Ah, I see. There seems to be some confusion between "connected spaces/graphs/things..." and "connected components of spaces/graphs/things...". If the empty thing is one of the former but none of the latter, then the problems about unique decompositions disappear.

comment Does every regular Noetherian domain have finite Krull dimension?
Nagata's Lemma E1.1 (that yields noetherianness of the example in question) is similarly elementary as Matsumura's proof (or the original proof) of Cohen's Theorem, but it finishes the whole thing.

comment Does every regular Noetherian domain have finite Krull dimension?
This is indeed (a special case of) the original Example 1 in the Appendix of Nagata's Local rings. Your last sentence might be confusing, as it remains true without the word "regular".

The converse of the implication you mention in the second paragraph does not hold; see p. 406 in the paper by Arnold and Gilmer mentioned by J.C. Ottem in his answer.

This - of course very interesting paper - contains a lot of information that is related to my question. But does it indeed concretely describe classes of rings with the desired properties?

... If the result holds in case we have a local base ring then it holds in this situation, and thus the claim will be proven once we prove it for the case of a local base ring.

comment Question on localization technique
Dear @Axy, concerning scalar restriction you should take a look at Bourbaki's Algèbre II.1.13. Concerning the proof, I explained that if $M_{\mathfrak{p}}=N_{\mathfrak{p}}$ for every prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ in $R_0$, then $M=N$. So, if we want to show that $M=N$, then we have to show that $M_{\mathfrak{p}}=N_{\mathfrak{p}}$ for every prime ideal $\mathfrak{p}$ in $R_0$. To do this, we take such a prime ideal and localise everything at it, obtaining a similar situation as before but this time over a local base ring...
