Integrally closed

In mathematics, more specifically in abstract algebra, the concept of integrally closed has three meanings:

  • A commutative ring R contained in a commutative ring S is said to be integrally closed in S if R is equal to the integral closure of R in S.
  • An integral domain R is said to be integrally closed if it is equal to its integral closure in its field of fractions.
  • An ordered group G is called integrally closed if for all elements a and b of G, if anb for all natural numbers n then a ≤ 1.
