Abstract
Some new equivalences to the chain conjecture (the integral closure of a local domain is catenary) and to the catenary chain conjecture (the integral closure of a catenary local domain is catenary) are proved, as are some new characterizations of a local H-domain. Also, a fact which lends support to the chain conjecture is noted, and it is proved that the H-conjecture (a local H-domain is catenary) implies the catenary chain conjecture.
