In mathematics, more specifically in abstract algebra, the concept of integrally closed has two meanings, one for groups and one for rings.
A commutative ring contained in a ring is said to be integrally closed in if is equal to the integral closure of in . That is, for every monic polynomial f with coefficients in , every root of f belonging to S also belongs to . Typically if one refers to a domain being integrally closed without reference to an overring, it is meant that the ring is integrally closed in its field of fractions.
