Tight closure/Plus closure/tantalizing/description

Aus Wikiversity

For an ideal in a domain define its plus closure by

Equivalent: Let be the absolute integral closure of . This is the integral closure of in an algebraic closure of the quotient field (first considered by Artin). Then

The plus closure commutes with localization.

We also have the inclusion . Here the question arises:

Question: Is ?

This question is known as the tantalizing question in tight closure theory.
