SFT-stability and Krull dimension in power series rings over an almost pseudo-valuation domain

Let \(R\) be an APVD with maximal ideal \(M\) . We show that the power series ring \(Rx_1,\ldots ,x_n]]\) is an SFT-ring if and only if the integral closure of \(R\) is an SFT-ring if and only if ( \(R\) is an SFT-ring and \(M\) is a Noether strongly primary ideal of \((M:M)\) ). We deduce that if \(R\) is an \(m\) -dimensional APVD that is a residually *-domain, then dim \(Rx_1,\ldots ,x_n]]\,=\,nm+1\) or \(nm+n\) .
