All rings in this paper are assumed to be commutative with identity, and the undefined terminology is the same as that in [3]. In 1956, in an important paper [2], M. Nagata constructed an example which showed (among other things): (i) a maximal chain of prime ideals in an integral extension domain R' of a local domain (R, M) need not contract in R to a maximal chain of prime ideals; and, (ii) a prime ideal P in R' may be such that height P < height P ∩ R. In his example, Rf was the integral closure of R and had two maximal ideals. In this paper, by using Nagata's example, we show that there exists a finite local integral extension domain of D = R[X](M,X) for which (i) and (ii) hold (see (2.8.1) and (2.10)).

Descending Chain Condition

In this note we consider commutative rings with identity over which every unitary module is a zero-divisor module. We call such rings Universally Zero-divisor (UZD) rings. We show (1) a Noetherian ring R is a UZD if and only if R is semilocal and the Krull dimension of R is at most one, (2) a Prüfer domain R is a UZD if and only if R has only a finite number of maximal ideals, and (3) if a ring R has Noetherian spectrum and descending chain condition on prime ideals then R is a UZD if and only if Spec (R) is a finite set. The question of ascent and descent of the property of a ring being a UZD with respect to integral extension of rings has also been answered.
