Talk:Excellent ring

Something seems to be missing in the sentence

There is an example of a regular local ring A of dimension 1 and characteristic p>0 which is not excellent. If k is any field of characteristic p with [k:k∞] and R=kx and A is the subring of power series Σaixi such that [kp(a0,a1,...):kp ] is finite then the formal fibers of A are not all geometrically regular so A is not excellent.

Also, what is the definition of k∞ ? Arcfrk 05:07, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
