Abstract

Let SS be an unramified regular local ring of mixed characteristic p3p\geq 3 and SpS^p the subring of SS obtained by lifting to SS the image of the Frobenius map on S/pSS/pS. Let RR be the integral closure of SS in a biradical extension of degree p2p^2 of its quotient field obtained by adjoining pp-th roots of sufficiently general square free elements f,gSpf,g\in S^p. We show that RR admits a birational maximal Cohen-Macaulay module. It is noted that RR is not automatically Cohen-Macaulay.
