If are integral over , then is finite over : it is generated by finitely many monomials . Multiplication by , , or is an endomorphism of this finite module, so the determinant trick gives a monic annihilating polynomial. Hence the integral elements form a subring containing .
The integral closure of in is this subring . The ring is integrally closed in when , and is integral over when .
