Integrally closed rings in birational extensions of two-dimensional regular local rings
Abstract
Let be an integrally closed local Noetherian domain of Krull dimension 2, and let be a nonzero element of such that has prime radical. We consider when an integrally closed ring between and is determined locally by finitely many valuation overrings of . We show such a local determination is equivalent to a statement about the exceptional prime divisors of normalized blow-ups of , and, when is analytically normal, this property holds for if and only if it holds for the completion of . This latter fact, along with MacLane's notion of key polynomials, allows us to prove that in some central cases where is a regular local ring and is a regular parameter of , then is determined locally by a single valuation. As a consequence, we show that if is also the integral closure of a finitely generated -algebra, then the exceptional prime ideals of the extension are comaximal. Geometrically, this translates into a statement about intersections of irreducible components in the closed fiber of the normalization of a proper birational morphism.
