Finite Extension of Integral Domains.

165 Views Asked by At

Let $D\subset E$ (integral domains), with fraction fields $k\subset K $.

Suppose that $E$ is integral over $D$, and $E$ is $D$-module finitely generated.

My question is:

$[K:k]$ is finite?

Thank you all.

Suppose that $E$ is a finitely generated $D$-module. Say $E=De_1+\cdots+De_n$. Let's show that the field extension $k\subset K$ is finite. It is clearly algebraic (why?) and of finite type: $K=k(e_1,\dots,e_n)$ (why?).
