Nonnoetherian coordinate rings with unique maximal depictions.

A depiction of a nonnoetherian integral domain <italic>R</italic> is a special coordinate ring that provides a framework for describing the geometry of <italic>R</italic>. We show that if <italic>R</italic> is noetherian in codimension 1, then <italic>R</italic> has a unique maximal depiction <italic>T</italic>. In this case, the geometric dimensions of the points of Spec <italic>R</italic> may be computed directly from <italic>T</italic>. If in addition <italic>R</italic> has a normal depiction <italic>S</italic>, then <italic>S</italic> is the unique maximal depiction of <italic>R</italic>. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
