Abstract

Let D be an integrally closed local Noetherian domain of Krull dimension 2, and let f be a nonzero element of D such that fD has prime radical. We consider when an integrally closed ring H between D and Df is determined locally by finitely many valuation overrings of D. We show such a local determination is equivalent to a statement about the exceptional prime divisors of normalized blow-ups of D and, when D is analytically normal, this property holds for D if and only if it holds for the completion of D. This latter fact, along with MacLane's notion of key polynomials, allows us to prove that in some central cases where D is a regular local ring and f is a regular parameter of D, then H is determined locally by a single valuation. As a consequence, we show that if H is also the integral closure of a finitely generated D-algebra, then the exceptional prime ideals of the extension H/D are comaximal. Geometrically, this translates into a statement about intersections of irreducible components in the closed fiber of the normalization of a proper birational morphism.
