We survey and extend recent work on integrally closed overrings of two-dimensional Noetherian domains, where such overrings are viewed as intersections of valuation overrings. Of particular interest are the cases where the domain can be represented uniquely by an irredundant intersection of valuation rings, and when the valuation rings can be chosen from a Noetherian subspace of the Zariski-Rie...

In this paper we classify Ext-finite noetherian hereditary abelian categories over an algebraically closed field k satisfying Serre duality in the sense of Bondal and Kapranov. As a consequence we obtain a classification of saturated noetherian hereditary abelian categories. As a side result we show that when our hereditary abelian categories have no nonzero projectives or injectives, then the ...
