An $F$-zip over a scheme $S$ over a finite field is a certain object of semi-linear algebra consisting of a locally free module with a descending filtration and an ascending filtration and a $\Frob_q$-twisted isomorphism between the…
If $S$ is a scheme of characteristic $p$, we define an $F$-zip over $S$ to be a vector bundle with two filtrations plus a collection of semi-linear isomorphisms between the graded pieces of the filtrations. For every smooth proper morphism…
We define quotient stacks of "zip flags". They form towers above the stack of $G$-zips introduced by Moonen, Pink, Wedhorn and Ziegler. We define a stratification on the stack of zip flags, and prove that it is principally pure, under a…
Let K be any field, and let G be a semisimple group over K. Suppose the characteristic of K is positive and is very good for G. We describe all group scheme homomorphisms phi:SL(2) --> G whose image is geometrically G-completely reducible…
An F-zip over a field of positive characteristic is a vector space together with two filtrations whose subquotients are related in a certain way. We will define the category of F-zips and some basic constructions in it, especially exterior…
We prove several results about p-divisible groups and Rapoport-Zink spaces. Our main goal is to prove that Rapoport-Zink spaces at infinite level are naturally perfectoid spaces, and to give a description of these spaces purely in terms of…
An excellent ring of prime characteristic for which the Frobenius map is pure is also Frobenius split in many commonly occurring situations in positive characteristic commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. However, using a fundamental…
There has been a long-standing question about whether being perfectoid for an algebra is local in the analytic topology. We provide affirmative answers for the algebras (e.g., over $\overline{\mathbb{Z}_p}$) whose spectra are inverse limits…
Introduced by Takagi and Watanabe, the F-pure threshold is an invariant defined in terms of the Frobenius homomorphism. While it finds applications in various settings, it is primarily used as a local invariant. The purpose of this note is…
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring of prime characteristic $p$. The main goal of this paper is to study in some detail when \[ \overline{W^R}:=\{\mathfrak{p}\in\operatorname{Spec} (R):\ \mathcal{F}^{E_{\mathfrak{p}}}\text{ is finitely…
In this article we establish the arithmetic purity of strong approximation for certain semi-simple simply connected $k$-simple linear algebraic groups and their homogeneous spaces over a number field $k$. For instance, for any such group…
Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $p>0$. Let $D_m$ be a $\BT_m$ over $k$ (i.e., an $m$-truncated Barsotti--Tate group over $k$). Let $S$ be a\break $k$-scheme and let $X$ be a $\BT_m$ over $S$. Let $S_{D_m}(X)$ be the subscheme of $S$…
Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, F its algebraically closed extension, and G be the group of k-automorphisms of F endowed with a natural topology. One of the purposes of this paper is to show that any…
Let G be a simply connected semisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k of positive characteristic. We will untwist the structure of G-modules by a newly found splitting of the Frobenius endomorphism on the algebra of…
We construct universal $G$-zips on good reductions of the Pappas-Rapoport splitting models for PEL-type Shimura varieties. We study the induced Ekedahl-Oort stratification, which sheds new light on the mod $p$ geometry of splitting models.…
We show that the zip stratification given by an arbitrary $\Ghat$-zip over a scheme is pure. We deduce purity of the level-$m$-stratification for truncated Barsotti-Tate groups and purity of the Ekedahl-Oort stratification for special…
Using the wonderful compactification of a semisimple adjoint affine algebraic group G defined over an algebraically closed field k of arbitrary characteristic, we construct a natural compactification Y of the G-character variety of any…
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, $G$ a reductive group over $k$, and $V$ a finite dimensional $G$-module. Let $B$ be a Borel subgroup of $G$, and $U$ its unipotent radical. We prove that if $S=\Sym V$ has…
An $R$-algebra $S$ is $R$-solid if there exists a nonzero $R$-linear map $S \rightarrow R$. In characteristic $p$, the study of $F$-singularities such as Frobenius splittings implicitly rely on the $R$-solidity of $R^{1/p}$. Following…
We generalize to the super context, the known fact that if an affine algebraic group $G$ over a commutative ring $k$ acts freely (in an appropriate sense) on an affine scheme $X$ over $k$, then the dur sheaf $X\tilde{\tilde{/}}G$ of…
