Abstract

Let f ⁣:(R,m)Sf\colon(R,\mathfrak{m})\rightarrow S be a local homomorphism of Noetherian local rings. Consider two endomorphisms \textit{of finite length} (i.e., with zero-dimensional closed fibers) φ ⁣:RR\varphi\colon R\rightarrow R and ψ ⁣:SS\psi\colon S\rightarrow S, satisfying ψf=fφ\psi\circ f=f\circ\varphi. Then ψ\psi induces a finite length endomorphism ψ ⁣:S/f(m)SS/f(m)S\overline{\psi}\colon S/f(\mathfrak{m})S\rightarrow S/f(\mathfrak{m})S. When ff is flat, under the assumption that SS is Cohen-Macaulay we prove an additivity formula: hloc(ψ)=hloc(φ)+hloc(ψ)h_{\mathrm{loc}}(\psi)=h_{\mathrm{loc}}(\varphi)+h_{\mathrm{loc}}(\overline{\psi}) for \textit{local entropy}.
