The author and Ira J. Papick have termed an integral domain R a going-down ring if RT satisfies going-down for each domain T containing R. The present paper investigates conditions which, for an integral extension AB of domains, imply that A (respectively B ) is going-down whenever B (respectively A ) is going-down. This explains the “descent” (respectively “ascent”) in the title. Two typical results (the first about descent, the second about ascent) are given next.
