Abstract

We discuss some questions and some results concerning partially ordered sets of prime ideals in Noetherian rings. Our focus is two-dimensional integral domains of polynomials and power series.

Notes

  1. 1.

    For the definition of “excellent ring”, see [6, p. 260]. Basically, “excellence” means the ring is catenary and has other nice properties that homomorphic images of polynomial rings over a field possess.
