Going up and going down 2026-10-14
Going up and going down concern lifting inclusions of prime ideals through a ring extension. Going-up theorem lifts upward from a chosen lower prime for an integral extension. Going-down theorem lifts downward from a chosen upper prime under additional hypotheses, including an integrally closed base domain for integral extensions of domains.
A ring extension is finite when is a finitely generated module over . Every finite extension is integral by the determinant trick.

A ring extension is an integral extension when every is an integral element over : there is a monic polynomialwith all .
