Abstract |
|
The main theorem in this paper characterizes a local domain (R,M) which satisfies the altitude formula in terms of certain DVR’s (discrete valuation rings) in the quotient field F of R. Specifically, R satisfies the altitude formula if and only if every DVRPL (V,N) over R in F (that is, (V,N) is a DVR with quotient field F such that R ⊆ V , N ∩R = M, and V is integral over a locality over R) is of the first kind (that is, trd (V∕N)∕(R∕M) = altitude R − 1). |
