This is an account of the algebraic geometry of Witt vectors and arithmetic jet spaces. The usual, "p-typical" Witt vectors of p-adic schemes of finite type are already reasonably well understood. The main point here is to generalize this…
We develop algebraic geometry for general Segal's Gamma-rings and show that this new theory unifies two approaches we had considered earlier on (for a geometry under Spec Z). The starting observation is that the category obtained by gluing…
This is an introduction to the theory of Witt vectors. It includes a construction of the Witt rings, the Frobenius and Verschiebung endomorphisms, the canonical map from W to W^2 (its lambda-algebra structure), the relation to strict…
We determine the universal deformation over reduced base rings of the Witt ring scheme enhanced by a Frobenius lift and Verschiebung. It agrees with a q-deformation earlier introduced by the second author, for which we also give a simpler…
The classical Witt vectors are a ubiquitous object in algebra and number theory. They arise as a functorial construction that takes perfect fields k of prime characteristic p > 0 to p-adically complete discrete valuation rings of…
For any $\pi$-formal group scheme $G$, the Frobenius morphism between arithmetic jet spaces restricts to generalized kernels of the projection map. Using the functorial properties of such kernels of arithmetic jet spaces, we show that this…
We give a universal property of the construction of the ring of $p$-typical Witt vectors of a commutative ring, endowed with Witt vectors Frobenius and Verschiebung, and generalize this construction to the derived setting. We define an…
We give a $K$-theoretic account of the basic properties of Witt vectors. Along the way we re-prove basic properties of the little-known Witt vector norm, give a characterization of Witt vectors in terms of algebraic $K$-theory, and a…
In this paper we develop a novel approach to Witt vector rings and to the (relative) de Rham Witt complex. We do this in the generality of arbitrary commutative algebras and arbitrary truncation sets. In our construction of Witt vector…
We study the kernel and cokernel of the Frobenius map on the $p$-typical Witt vectors of a commutative ring, not necessarily of characteristic $p$. We give some equivalent conditions to surjectivity of the Frobenus map on both finite and…
By recasting metrical geometry in a purely algebraic setting, both Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries can be studied over a general field with an arbitrary quadratic form. Both an affine and a projective version of this new theory are…
For every commutative ring $A$, one has a functorial commutative ring $W(A)$ of $p$-typical Witt vectors of $A$, an iterated extension of $A$ by itself. If $A$ is not commutative, it has been known since the pioneering work of L. Hesselholt…
The purpose of this this paper is to generalize the functors arising from the theory of Witt vectors duto to Cartier. Given a polynomial $g(q)\in \mathbb Z[q]$, we construct a functor ${\overline {W}}^{g(q)}$ from the category of $\mathbb…
The main aim of this article is to give new classes of smooth projective varieties over characteristic $p>0$ that admit flat liftings over the Witt vectors together with additional data (logarithmic structure and the Frobenius morphism) by…
Relying on recent advances in the theory of motives we develope a general formalism for derived categories of motives with Q-coefficients on perfect (ind-)schemes. As an application we give a motivic refinement of Zhu's geometric Satake…
Associated to the classical Weyl groups, we introduce the notion of degenerate spin affine Hecke algebras and affine Hecke-Clifford algebras. For these algebras, we establish the PBW properties, formulate the intertwiners, and describe the…
For a prime $p$ and an associative ring $R$ with unity, there are various constructions of $p$-typical Witt vectors of $R$, all of which specialize to the classical $p$-typical Witt vectors when $R$ is commutative. These constructions are…
We introduce perfect resolving algebras and study their fundamental properties. These algebras are basic for our theory of differential graded schemes, as they give rise to affine differential graded schemes. We also introduce etale…
The purpose of this article is to prove some results on the Witt vectors of perfect $\mathbf{F}_p$-algebras. Let $A$ be a perfect $\mathbf{F}_p$-algebra for a prime integer $p$ and assume that $A$ has the property $\mathbf{P}$. Then does…
We study basic geometric properties of some group analogue of affine Springer fibers and compare with the classical Lie algebra affine Springer fibers. The main purpose is to formulate a conjecture that relates the number of irreducible…
