For an element in the integral closure of an ideal $I$ - which power is in $I$?
Consider an ideal $I$ in a ring $R$. If $f \in R$ belongs to the integral closure of $I$, then there is $k_0 \geq 0$ such that $f^k \in I^{k-k_0}$ for all $k \geq k_0$. Are there any known upper ...

Is it a valuation ring?
It is known that a one-dimensional Noetherian local ring is a discrete valuation ring if it is integrally closed.
Then, even if it is not Noetherian, would a one-dimensional local ring become a ...

Semi-stable model over a totally ramified extension
Notation: Let $R$ be a DVR, $K=\text{Frac}(R)$ and $k=R/\mathfrak{m}$. Given an $R$-scheme $X$, write $X_K=X\times_{R} K$ for the generic fiber and $X_k=X\times_R k$ for the special fiber.
Suppose $k$ ...

Valuation ring satisfying either a.c.c. or d.c.c. on prime ideals
If a commutative ring with unity has finite Krull dimension, then it satisfies a.c.c. and d.c.c. on prime ideals. The converse is not true in general, as can be seen from here An infinite dimensional ...

Valuations given by flags on a variety and valuations of maximal rational rank
I am interested in valuations on a function field $K=k(X)$ of some say smooth, projective $k$-variety $X$ of dimension $n$, where $k$ is some (algebraically closed) field (that implies trdeg$(K/k) = n$...

Replacing Spectrum with Valuations of a Field - An Alternative to Schemes?
A scheme is defined to be a sheaf which is locally isomorphic to the spectrum of a ring. The idea behind this is that given an affine coordinate ring of a variety over an algebraically closed field, ...

What are examples illustrating the usefulness of Krull (i.e., rank > 1) valuations?
In modern valuation theory, one studies not just absolute values on a field, but also Krull valuations. The motivation is easy enough:
If $k$ is a field, a valuation ring of $k$ is a subring $R$ ...
