Classes of Good Noetherian Rings

This monograph provides an exhaustive treatment of several classes of Noetherian rings and morphisms of Noetherian local rings. Chapters carefully examine some of the most important topics in the area, including Nagata, F-finite and excellent rings, Bertini s Theorem, and Cohen factorizations. Of particular interest is the presentation of Popescu s Theorem on Neron Desingularization and the structure of regular morphisms, with a complete proof. Classes of Good Noetherian Rings will be an invaluable resource for researchers in commutative algebra, algebraic and arithmetic geometry, and number theory.
