In mathematics, a Weierstrass ring, named by Nagata[1] after Karl Weierstrass, is a commutative local ring that is Henselian, pseudo-geometric, and such that any quotient ring by a prime ideal is a finite extension of a regular local ring.
Examples
- The Weierstrass preparation theorem can be used to show that the ring of convergent power series over the complex numbers in a finite number of variables is a Weierstrass ring. The same is true if the complex numbers are replaced by a perfect field with a valuation.
- Every ring that is a finitely-generated module over a Weierstrass ring is also a Weierstrass ring.
