Motivated by work of Hochster and Huneke, we investigate several constructions related to the S2-ification T of a complete equidimensional local ring R: the canonical module, the top local cohomology module, topological spaces of the form Spec(R)-V(J), and the (finite simple) graph ΓR with vertex set Min(R) defined by Hochster and Huneke. We generalize one of their results by showing, e.g., that the number of maximal ideals of T is equal to the number of connected components of ΓR. We further investigate this graph by exhibiting a technique for showing that a given graph G can be realized as one of the form ΓR.
