    Tight closure and plus closure in dimension two

    Full text link
    We prove that the tight closure and the graded plus closure of a homogeneous ideal coincide for a two-dimensional N-graded domain of finite type over the algebraic closure of a finite field. This answers in this case a ``tantalizing question'' of Hochster.Comment: Some minor changes. To appear in Amer. J. of Mat

    Lifting chains of prime ideals

    We give an elementary proof that for a ring homomorphism A -> B, satisfying the property that every ideal in A is contracted from B, the following property holds: for every chain of prime ideals p_0 \subset ... \subset p_r in A there exists a chain of prime ideals q_0 \subset ... \subset q_r in B such that q_i \cap A = p_i.Comment: to appear in Journal of pure and applied algebr
