Proposition 10.156.16. The following types of rings are Nagata and in particular universally Japanese:

1. fields,
2. Noetherian complete local rings,
3. $\mathbf{Z}$,
4. Dedekind domains with fraction field of characteristic zero,
5. finite type ring extensions of any of the above.

Proof. The Noetherian complete local ring case is Lemma 10.156.8. In the other cases you just check if $R/\mathfrak p$ is N-2 for every prime ideal $\mathfrak p$ of the ring. This is clear whenever $R/\mathfrak p$ is a field, i.e., $\mathfrak p$ is maximal. Hence for the Dedekind ring case we only need to check it when $\mathfrak p = (0)$. But since we assume the fraction field has characteristic zero Lemma 10.155.11 kicks in. $\square$

\label{proposition-ubiquity-nagata}
The following types of rings are Nagata and in particular universally Japanese:
\begin{enumerate}
\item fields,
\item Noetherian complete local rings,
\item $\mathbf{Z}$,
\item Dedekind domains with fraction field of characteristic zero,
\item finite type ring extensions of any of the above.
\end{enumerate}
\end{proposition}

\begin{proof}
The Noetherian complete local ring case is
Lemma \ref{lemma-Noetherian-complete-local-Nagata}.
In the other cases you just check if $R/\mathfrak p$ is N-2 for every
prime ideal $\mathfrak p$ of the ring. This is clear whenever
$R/\mathfrak p$ is a field, i.e., $\mathfrak p$ is maximal.
Hence for the Dedekind ring case we only need to check it when
$\mathfrak p = (0)$. But since we assume the fraction field has
characteristic zero Lemma \ref{lemma-domain-char-zero-N-1-2} kicks in.
\end{proof}
