Short version: Let $R$ be a commutative ring such that all chains of primes of $R$ with the same extremities have the same finite cardinality. Is $R$ locally finite-dimensional?



Longer version: Let $R$ be a commutative ring. Several slightly different definitions of the notion of catenarity of $R$ are in use, and here I would like to compare two of them.



A chain of primes of $R$ is a totally ordered set of primes of $R$ that has a minimum and a maximum. The minimum and the maximum of such a chain are called its extremities. A chain $C$ of primes of $R$ is called saturated if it is $subseteq$-maximal among the chains of primes of $R$ with the same extremities as $C$.



Now, we can give the two definitions of catenarity.




(A) All finite chains of primes of $R$ with the same extremities have the same cardinality.



(B) All chains of primes of $R$ with the same extremities have the same finite cardinality.




Clearly, (B) implies (A). Now, we consider the following two statements.




(1) $R$ fulfils (B).



(2) $R$ fulfils (A) and is locally finite-dimensional, i.e., all its primes have finite height.




It is easy to see that (2) implies (1). Moreover, if every prime of $R$ contains only finitely many minimal primes of $R$, then (1) and (2) are equivalent. In particular, they are equivalent if $R$ is noetherian or a domain.



My question is now the following:




Are (1) and (2) equivalent?




Of course, this comes down to asking whether (B) implies that $R$ is locally finite-dimemsional. I guess it does not and hence look for a counterexample. This amounts to finding a local ring $R$ fulfilling (B) with infinitely many minimal primes such that the (finite) dimensions $dim(R/mathfrakp)$ for the minimal primes $mathfrakp$ are unbounded. Does such a ring exist?

          Let $k$ be a field. Let $x_i, j$, $1 leq j leq i in mathbfN$ be variables. Consider the ring
          $$
          R = k[x_i, j]/(x_i, j x_i', j', i not = i')
          $$
          Let $mathfrak m$ be the maximal ideal generated by all $x_i, j$. For any prime ideal $mathfrak p not = mathfrak m$ there exists a unique $i$ such that $x_i', j' in mathfrak p$ for $i' not = i$. Hence chains happen in the finite polynomial rings $k[x_i, 1, ldots, x_i, i]$. Using this it is easy to see that $R$ is a counter example.
