Integral Domains Whose w-Integral Closures Are Krull Domains

Let D be an integral domain with quotient field K, [Formula: see text] be the integral closure of D in K, and D[w] be the w-integral closure of D in K; so [Formula: see text], and equality holds when D is Noetherian or dim(D) = 1. The Mori–Nagata theorem states that if D is Noetherian, then [Formula: see text] is a Krull domain; it has also been investigated when [Formula: see text] is a Dedekind domain. We study integral domains D such that D[w] is a Krull domain. We also provide an example of an integral domain D such that [Formula: see text], t-dim(D) = 1, [Formula: see text] is a Prüfer v-multiplication domain with t-dim([Formula: see text]) = 2, and D[w] is a UFD.

Strong test ideals associated to Cartier algebras

In this note, we use the theory of test ideals and Cartier algebras to examine the interplay between the tight and integral closures in a local ring of positive characteristic. Using work of Schwede, we prove the abundance of strong test ideals, recovering some older fundamental results, and use this approach in concrete computations. In the second part of the paper, the case of Stanley–Reisner rings is fully examined.
