Let S be a three-dimensional regular local ring and let I be a prime ideal in S of height two. This paper is motivated by the question of when I is a set-theoretic complete intersection and when the symbolic Rees algebra S(I) = ⊕n≥0I(n)tn is Noetherian. The connection between the two problems is given by a result of Cowsik which says that the Noetherian property of S(I) implies that I is a set-theoretic complete intersection ([1]).
