Almost integrally closed domains

A domain R is called almost integrally closed if R is integrally closed in R-P for each nonzero P is an element of Spec(R). Arbitrary quasilocal domains of (Krull) dimension 1 and arbitrary integrally closed domains are examples of almost integrally closed domains. There are no other examples in the contexts of Noetherian, one-dimensional or pseudo-valuation domains, as a consequence of the fact that any almost integrally closed domain that is not integrally closed has at most one height 1 prime ideal. However, a pullback example shows that a non-integrally closed domain that is almost integrally closed need not be semiquasilocal or of dimension at most 1. By analyzing the behavior of the almost integrally closed property for CPI-extensions, we obtain a characterization of the almost integrally closed locally divided domains. Applications are given to the case of G-domains. It also follows that if a divided domain R is not a field, then R is almost integrally closed if and only if some (resp., each) nonzero P is an element of Spec(R) is such that R-P is almost integrally closed and R is integrally closed in R-P.
