Example 10.119.5. Let k be a field of characteristic p > 0 such that k has infinite degree over its subfield k^ p of pth powers. For example k = \mathbf{F}_ p(t_1, t_2, t_3, \ldots ). Consider the ring
Then A is a discrete valuation ring and its completion is A^\wedge = k[[x]]. Note that the induced extension of fraction fields of A \subset k[[x]] is infinite purely inseparable. Choose any f \in k[[x]], f \not\in A. Let R = A[f] \subset k[[x]]. Then R is a Noetherian local domain of dimension 1 whose completion R^\wedge is nonreduced (think!).
