Noncatenary splinters in prime characteristic

Commutative Algebra 2024-01-03 v1

Abstract

We construct a local Noetherian splinter (in fact, a weakly FF-regular domain) in prime characteristic which is not catenary, which we view as an analogue of a theorem of Ogoma in equal characteristic zero. Moreover, we construct a weakly FF-regular local UFD which is not Cohen-Macaulay. Both of these examples are obtained via finding sufficient conditions ensuring that a complete local ring of prime characteristic is the completion of some weakly FF-regular local domain, which we expect to be of independent interest.
