Can the completion of a local domain which is not a field be a field?

I would like to prove/disprove the following claim: Let $A$ be an equicharacteristic local domain, and denote by $\widehat{A}$ its completion with respect to its maximal ideal. If $\widehat{A}$ is ...

Krull dimension of a local ring and completion

Let $A$ be a local ring (not noetherian) of finite Krull dimension such that its maximal ideal $\mathfrak{m}$ is of finite type. Let $\hat{A}$ be its $\mathfrak{m}$-adic completion. Do we have that $\...

Power series ring $\Theta[[X_1,\ldots,X_d]]$ and prime ideals

Let $\Theta$ be a domain. We shall choose $d$ elements $\theta_1,\ldots,\theta_d \in \Theta$ such that any chosen $j$ elements $\theta_{i_1},\ldots,\theta_{i_j}$ form a prime ideal $(\theta_{i_1},\...

Krull-dimension of local domain

Let $(R,{\frak m}_R)$ be a local domain (not necessarily Noetherian). That is, $R$ is integral and ${\frak m}_R$ is the unique maximal ideal of $R$. Suppose that ${\frak m}_R$ is finitely generated. ...

Can K[[T_1,...,T_∞]] be embedded into K[[X,Y]]?

In the MathOverflow question about common false beliefs, the following answer teaches us that there is an embedding $\iota_n \colon K[[T_1,...,T_n]] \hookrightarrow K[[X,Y]]$. Now let us define the ...

Popescu-Neron Desingularization for K[[T_1,...,T_∞]]

Let $K[[T_1,...,T_n]]$ be a finitely many variables formal power series ring over a field $K$. Dorin Popescu proved that there are smooth algebras $A_{\lambda}$'s which are of finite type over $K$ ...

Let $f:R\to S$ be a local finite monomorphism .If $M$ is an Artinian $S$-module, is it an Artinian $R$-module?

$(R,m)$ and $(S,n)$ are local rings (commutative Noetherian with 1). Let $f:R\to S$ be a local homomorphism/monomorphism ($f(m)\subseteq n$), such that the natural induced homomorphism $R/m\to S/n$ ...

Structure theorem for non-Noetherian local rings

Is there a structure theorem (like Cohen 's structure theorem) for non-Noetherian local rings? I am adding what I am looking for as someone asked in the comment. If $R$ is a local domain (not ...

rings with 'flat functions'

Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a local ring over a field. Suppose the ring has flat elements, i.e. $\mathfrak{m}^\infty\neq\{0\}$. (The prototype is of course $C^\infty(\Bbb{R}^p,0)$, or a quotient of it, ...

Condition for a local ring whose maximal ideal is principal to be Noetherian

The statement "a local ring whose maximal ideal is principal is Noetherian" is (I think) false. The ring of germs about $0$ of $C^\infty$ functions on the real line seems to be a counterexample since ...
