Extract

In (1) and (2) we studied a lattice of extension rings associated with a commutative ring R with identity. When R, M is a one-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local ring the elements of are just those integral extensions of R contained in the total quotient ring T(R) and such that lengthR(S/R) is finite. Experiments with local rings of singular points on algebraic curves indicate that only the simplest singularities give rise to finite lattices. So the problem arises as to which local rings R give rise to which finite lattices. In later papers this problem will be investigated in detail, at least when R is of low embedding dimension. The purpose of the present note is to establish some general results which indicate the size of the problem.
