Under what condition is the complement of a subring closed under multiplication?

52 Views Asked by At

For the converse there is a weaker statement that goes as follows:

let $A$ be a commutative ring with identity and $S$ a subring of $A$. If $A-S$ is closed under multiplication, then $S$ is integrally closed.

Under which condition is the converse true?

I am asking to request other results regarding the behavior of the complement of a subring. Thank you.
