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 extend the big and $p$-typical Witt vector functors from commutative rings to commutative semirings. In the case of the big Witt vectors, this is a repackaging of some standard facts about monomial and Schur positivity in the…
A subtraction-free definition of the big Witt vector construction was recently given by the first author. This allows one to define the big Witt vectors of any semiring. Here we give an explicit combinatorial description of the big Witt…
We show that various flavors of Witt vectors are functorial with respect to multiplicative polynomial laws of finite degree. We then deduce that the $p$-typical Witt vectors are functorial in multiplicative polynomial maps of degree at most…
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 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…

This is an overview of my papers arxiv:1602.04254 and arxiv:1604.01588.
We give a concrete description of the category of etale algebras over the ring of Witt vectors of a given finite length with entries in an arbitrary ring. We do this not only for the classical p-typical and big Witt vector functors but also…
The explicit formulas of operations, in particular addition and multiplication, of $p $-adic integers are presented. As applications of the results, at first the explicit formulas of operations of Witt vectors with coefficients in…
Our main goal in this paper is to prove results for Witt vectors in the almost category. We finish with an application to almost purity, in particular offering a new proof for rank one valuation rings.
The ring of Witt vectors $\mathbb{W} R$ over a base ring $R$ is an important tool in algebraic number theory and lies at the foundations of modern $p$-adic Hodge theory. $\mathbb{W} R$ has the interesting property that it constructs a ring…
This paper investigates some combinatorial and algebraic properties of a Witt type formula for graphs.
We discuss a multiplicative version of the Verschiebung map of Witt vectors that we call the norm.
We use Lazard's universal $\pi$-ring to construct a variation of the $\pi$-typical ramified Witt vector functors, which we call the Lazardian Witt vector functor. We then use the Lazardian Witt vector functor to construct the universal…
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…
This paper investigates the p-adic valuation trees of degree-2 and degree-3 polynomials in two variables over any prime p, building upon prior research outlined in [14].
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…
In this note, we investigate the Witt vectors in the min-plus algebra of extended non-negative real numbers, and consider categories enriched over them viewed as a monoidal category.
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…
