A counterexample to the small Cohen–Macaulay module conjecture

Constructs a three-dimensional complete Noetherian normal local domain over ℂ with no nonzero finitely generated maximal Cohen–Macaulay module. A three-dimensional local domain essentially of finite type over ℂ has the same property, disproving the domain form of the small Cohen–Macaulay module conjecture.
