Let k be a field and {Xn}aeA a familyofindeterminates over k. We show that if A is a ring of Krull dimension d such that k c A c k[{A0ahA] then there are elements Y,* Yd which are algebraically independent over k and a k-isomorphism q such that k c +(A) c k[Y1, **, Yd]. This is used to show that a onedimensional ring A which satisfies the above conditions is necessarily an affine ring over k and is necessarily a polynomial ring if it is normal. In addition we show that such a ring A is a normal affine ring of transcendence degree two over k if and only if it is a two-dimensional Krull ring such that each essential valuation of A has residue field transcendental over k. Introduction. In [EZ] Evyatar and Zaks ask whether a Dedekind domain which is caught between a field k and the polynomials in a finite number of variables over k is necessarily a polynomial ring. Here we show that the answer is affirmative with no restriction on the number of variables and without assuming the ring satisfies all three of the Noether axioms on a Dedekind domain (it need only be one dimensional and integrally closed). In addition we give some general results which relate subrings of the polynomials over a field to noetherian rings. The author is indebted to W. J. Heinzer for the benefit of many stimulating conversations on this subject and to Kenneth Kubota for a suggestion which simplified the proof of Lemma B. 1. In all that follows, a ring will always be assumed to be commutative and to possess a multiplicative identity 1 # 0. By dimension A we always refer to the Krull dimension of the ring A. LEMMA A (Reduction to the case of a finite number of variables). Let D be an integral domain and {Xa}aEA a family of indeterminates over D. Let A be a ring such that (1) D ? A < D[{Xa}aEA. (2) A satisfies the d.c.c. on prime ideals. Received by the editors March 3, 1971. AMS 1969 subject classifications. Primary 1635, 1230, 1615.
