We establish the flat cohomology version of the Gabber-Thomason purity for \'{e}tale cohomology: for a complete intersection Noetherian local ring $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ and a commutative, finite, flat $R$-group $G$, the flat cohomology…

We will develop a formal non-commutative (NC) deformation theory of smooth algebraic varieties $X$ defined over a field $k$, and describe a semi-universal deformation where the tangent space $T^1$ and the obstruction space $T^2$ are given…

It is proved that when R is a local ring of positive characteristic, $\phi$ is its Frobenius endomorphism, and some non-zero finite R-module has finite flat dimension or finite injective dimension for the R-module structure induced through…

Let (A,m_A) -> (B,m_B) be a local morphism of local noetherian rings and M a finitely generated B-module. Then it follows from Tor^A_1(M,A/m_A) = 0 that M is a flat A-module. This is usually called the "local criterion of flatness". We give…

We study the relative Frobenius map associated with a map of derived commutative rings over a field of positive characteristic. As part of this, we examine a relative analog of perfectness and construct a relative inverse limit perfection…

This paper introduces arithmetic geometry for polynomial identity algebras using non-commutative (formal) deformation theory. Since formal deformation theory is inherently local the arithmetic and geometric results that follow give local…

We set up the geometric background necessary to extend rigid cohomology from the case of algebraic varieties to the case of general locally noetherian formal schemes. In particular, we generalize Berthelot's strong fibration theorem to adic…

In his proof of Fermat's Last Theorem, Wiles deployed a commutative algebra technique, namely a numerical criterion for detecting isomorphisms of rings. In our recent work we pick up on Wiles' work and generalize the numerical criterion to…

We prove that on separated algebraic surfaces every coherent sheaf is a quotient of a locally free sheaf. This class contains many schemes that are neither normal, reduced, quasiprojective or embeddable into toric varieties. Our methods…

Given an essentially finite type morphism of schemes f: X --> Y and a positive integer d, let f^{d}: X^{d} --> Y denote the natural map from the d-fold fiber product, X^{d}, of X over Y and \pi_i: X^{d} --> X the i'th canonical projection.…

Let \pi : X -> S be a finite type morphism of noetherian schemes. A smooth formal embedding of X (over S) is a bijective closed immersion X -> \frak{X}, where \frak{X} is a noetherian formal scheme, formally smooth over S. An example of…

Among reduced Noetherian prime characteristic commutative rings, we prove that a regular ring is precisely one where finite intersection of ideals commutes with taking bracket powers. However, reducedness is essential for this equivalence.…

The categories of almost modules and almost algebras are introduced as a convenient setting for the development of Faltings' method of almost etale extensions. After some preliminaries of general "almost homological algebra" we construct…

It was proved by Avramov and Buchweitz that if A is a commutative local complete intersection ring with finitely generated modules M and N, then the Ext groups between M and N vanish from some step if and only if the Ext groups between N…

In this article, we study the behaviour of smooth algebra $R$ over local Noetherian local ring $A$. At first, we observe that for every $f\in R$, $R_f$ has finite length in the category of $D(R,A)$-module if dimension of $A$ is zero. This…

We introduce a theory of geometry for nonnoetherian commutative algebras with finite Krull dimension. In particular, we establish new notions of normalization and height: depiction (a special noetherian overring) and geometric codimension.…

We give an elementary proof prove of the preservation of the Noetherian condition for commutative rings with unity $R$ having at least one finitely generated ideal $I$ such that the quotient ring is again finitely generated, and $R$ is…

Local and category-theoretical entropies associated with an endomorphism of finite length (i.e., with zero-dimensional closed fiber) of a commutative Noetherian local ring are compared. Local entropy is shown to be less than or equal to…

We introduce the notion of being cohomologically complete for objects of the derived category of sheaves of $Z[\hbar]$-modules on a topological space. Then we consider a $Z[\hbar]$-algebra satisfying some suitable conditions and prove…

The existence of an equidimensional morphism f with etale local sections from a regular algebraic space X to a locally noetherian normal algebraic space S of characteristic zero with excellent local rings implies that S is regular and f…
