Proof.
First let us see that
for all
.
If , then there are such that
.
We assume that .
Then
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
so that , which is a contradiction.
Let such that is not integral over . We show that there exists a prime ideal of such that the canonical image of in is not integral over .
In fact, since is a -algebra of finite type, it is a noetherian ring. In particular, it admits only finitely many minimal prime ideals , where are prime ideals of which do not intersect . Assume that, for any , is a monic polynomial in such that , where is the class of in . Let be a monic polynomial in whose reduction modulo identifies with . One has
for any . Let be the product of the polynomials . Then belongs to the intersection , hence is nilpotent, which implies that is integral over . To show that there exists such that we may replace (resp. ) by (resp. ) and hence assume that is an integral domain without loss of generality.
We set .
Let us see that
|
|
|
We set for some and
.
Then , so that .
Next we assume that . Then
|
|
|
for some
, so that
, which is a contradiction.
Let be the maximal ideal of such that .
As and
, we have
, and hence .
Note that is finitely generated over and .
Thus, since the reduction map
|
|
|
is surjective,
there is such that
. Clearly .
As , we have , so that because .
Therefore,
|
|
|
as required.
