The development of the theory of local rings has been greatly stimulated by the importance of the applications to algebraic geometry, but it is none the less true that this stimulus has produced a theory which, on aesthetic grounds, is somewhat unsatisfactory. In the first place, if a local ring Q arises in the ordinary way from a geometric problem, then Qwill have the same characteristic as its residue field. It is partly for this reason that our knowledge of equicharacteristic local rings is much more extensive than it is of those local rings which present the case of unequal characteristics. Again, in the geometric case, the integral closure of Q in its quotient field will be a finite Q-module. Here, once more, we have a special situation which it would be desirable to abandon from the point of view of a general abstract theory.
