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…

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…

The almost purity theorem is central to the geometry of perfectoid spaces and has numerous applications in algebra and geometry. This result is known to have several different proofs in the case that the base ring is a perfectoid valuation…

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.

We construct a new cohomology theory for proper smooth (formal) schemes over the ring of integers of C_p. It takes values in a mixed-characteristic analogue of Dieudonne modules, which was previously defined by Fargues as a version of…

Given a perfectoid field, we find an elementary extension and a henselian defectless valuation on it, whose value group is divisible and whose residue field is an elementary extension of the tilt. This specializes to the almost purity…

We review the theory of almost coherent modules that was introduced in "Almost Ring Theory" by Gabber and Ramero. Then we globalize it by developing a new theory of almost coherent sheaves on schemes and on a class of "nice" formal schemes.…

Building on foundations introduced in a previous paper, we give several p-adic analytic descriptions of the categories of etale Zp-local systems and etale Qp-local systems on an affinoid algebra over a finite extension of Qp (or more…

We investigate the structure of certain almost split sequences in $\mathcal{P}(\Lambda)$, i.e., the category of morphisms between projective modules over an Artin algebra $\Lambda$. The category $\mathcal{P}(\Lambda)$ has very nice…

For a flat proper morphism of finite presentation between schemes with almost coherent structural sheaves (in the sense of Faltings), we prove that the higher direct images of quasi-coherent and almost coherent modules are quasi-coherent…

In this paper, we examine the behavior of ideal-adic separatedness and completeness under certain ring extensions using trace map. Then we prove that adic completeness of a base ring is hereditary to its ring extension under reasonable…

This is release 7.5 of our project, aiming to provide a complete treatment of the foundations of almost ring theory, following and extending Faltings's method of "almost etale extensions". The central result is the "almost purity theorem",…

Let $\varphi\colon R \rightarrow A$ be a finite ring homomorphism, where $R$ is a two-sided Noetherian ring, and let $M$ be a finitely generated left $A$-module. Under suitable homological conditions on $A$ over $R$, we establish a close…

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 describe a new approach to relative p-adic Hodge theory based on systematic use of Witt vector constructions and nonarchimedean analytic geometry in the style of both Berkovich and Huber. We give a thorough development of phi-modules…

In this short note, we point out how some new cases of Hochster's direct summand conjecture can be deduced from fundamental theorems in p-adic Hodge theory due to Faltings. The cases tackled include the ones when the ramification of the map…

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…

In a previous paper, we constructed a category of (phi, Gamma)-modules associated to any adic space over Q_p with the property that the etale (phi, Gamma)-modules correspond to etale Q_p-local systems; these involve sheaves of period rings…

Let $p$ be a prime, $W$ the ring of Witt vectors of a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p$ and $\zeta$ a primitive $p$th root of unity. We introduce a new notion of calculus over $W$ that we call absolute calculus. It may be seen as a…

The aim of this article is to prove some results on the existence of an integral extension domain of a complete local Noetherian domain in mixed characteristic $p>0$ having certain distinguished properties with respect to the Frobenius map.…
