Let be a one-dimensional normal Noetherian local domain. Choose in its maximal ideal and a minimal with . If , choose and put . Then but . If , the determinant trick makes integral, contrary to normality. Thus is a unit for some , and for every proves . The case is already principal. Such a local domain is a discrete valuation ring.
