Does there exist a local domain of infinite dimension in which every chain of prime ideals is finite?




Of course, such a ring must be neither noetherian nor catenary.



(This question arose while trying to compare different definitions of catenarity, and more precisely while trying to understand what may cause codimensions in topological spaces to be infinite.)

  • It's not completely obvious to me that it can't be noetherian. If there's a noetherian example $A$, then we can suppose that $A/P$ has finite dimension for every nonzero prime $P$. How does one get a contradiction?

  • @YCor: Local noetherian rings have finite dimension, since primes in noetherian rings have finite height.

  • Oh sorry, I hadn't seen the local assumption. I was thinking of a nonlocal noetherian ring, for which it sounds not obvious to me.

  • @YCor: Actually, my original problem was whether there is a spectral topological space with closed irreducible subsets $Ysubseteq Z$ such that $rm codim(Y,Z)=infty$ and that every chain of closed irreducible subsets with extremities $Y$ and $Z$ is finite. This can be reduced to the question given here.

  • Just an obvious comment ... the ring you are looking for can't be Valuation ring either ...

Choose a field $k$ and a Noetherian $k$-algebra $R$ of infinite dimension. (I know you know such a thing exists.) Let $R' subset R[x]$ be the set of polynomials $f = sum a_i x^i$ whose constant term is constant, i.e., $a_0 in k subset R$. Then we have
$$
textSpec(R') = textSpec(R[x]) amalg_textSpec(R) textSpec(k)
$$

by Tag 0B7J. Observe that $R'[1/x] = R[x, 1/x]$ is Noetherian. Observe that for any prime $mathfrak p subset R$ the prime $mathfrak p' = R' cap mathfrak p R[x]$ is contained in the maximal ideal $mathfrak m = textKer(R' to k) = sqrtxR'$ (small detail omitted). Thus the local ring of $R'$ and $mathfrak m$ is an example. Namely, its punctured spectrum is Noetherian of infinite dimension (as the localization of $R'$ at $mathfrak p'$ is the same as the localization of $R[x]$ at $mathfrak p R[x]$ which is flat over $R_mathfrak p$ and hence has dimension $geq dim(R_mathfrak p)$. Enjoy!
