Let $R$ be a Noetherian local ring of dimension $\geq 3$ and $\{p_1,\ldots , p_n\}$ be a collection of prime ideals of height $1$. Does there exist an element $x\in R$ such that $Ass(R/xR)=\{p_1,\ldots , p_n\}$.

  • $\begingroup$ No. Try the case of a Dedekind domain and $n=1$. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @Mohan I have edited the question. Can we say anything if R is a domain or R has no embedded associated primes with dimension>=3? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ If you have an example in dimension $n$, taking polynomial ring over it, you get an example in dimension $n+1$. $\endgroup$
