Abstract
In this paper, we study (Schelter) integral extensions of PI-rings. We prove in particular lying over, going up, and incomparability for prime ideals. A major result is transitivity of integrality: If R⊆ S⊆ B are PI-rings such that B is integral over S and S is integral over R, then B is integral over R. Next, we obtain a powerful criterion for integrality: If S is a prime PI-ring such that its center is integral over a Noetherian subring R of S, then S is integral over R. This allows interesting applications to the theory of finite group actions. Further topics concern Eakin-Nagata type results and embeddings of quotient rings for integral extensions. Finally, we analyze the relationship between module-finite extensions and finitely generated integral extensions, obtaining positive results for affine Noetherian PI-algebras and algebras satisfying certain restrictions on PI-degrees (e.g., algebras of low PI-degree).
