Two classical rings of invariants are shown to be Frobenius split: for the special linear group acting on the direct sum of several copies of the defining representation and several copies of the dual of the defining representation; and for…
We prove that for $X$ a quasi-compact $\mathbb{F}_p$-scheme with affine diagonal (e.g.\ $X$ quasi-compact and separated) there is a t-exact equivalence $\mathcal D(\mathrm{Frob}(\mathrm{QCoh}(X),F_*)) \to \mathrm{Frob}(\mathcal…
In 1983, Faltings proved that there are only finitely many abelian varieties over a number field of fixed dimension and with good reduction outside a given set of places. In this paper, we consider the analogous problem for other algebraic…
Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group defined over an algebraic closure of a finite field and let $F : G \to G$ be an endomorphism such that $F^d$ is a Frobenius endomorphism for some $d \geq 1$. Let $P$ be a parabolic subgroup…
The purpose of this paper is to describe several applications of finiteness properties of $F$-finite $F$-modules recently discovered by M. Hochster to the study of Frobenius maps on injective hulls, Frobenius near-splittings and to the…
We introduce a new variant of tight closure and give an interpretation of adjoint ideals via this tight closure. As a corollary, we prove that a log pair $(X,\Delta)$ is plt if and only if the modulo $p$ reduction of $(X,\Delta)$ is…
In this paper, we classify irreducible representations of affine group superschemes over fields $F$ of characteristic not two in terms of those over a separable closure $F^{\mathrm{sep}}$ and their Galois twists. We also compute the…
We generalize $F$-signature to pairs $(R,D)$ where $D$ is a Cartier subalgebra on $R$ as defined by the first two authors. In particular, we show the existence and positivity of the $F$-signature for any strongly $F$-regular pair. In one…
v2: For a projective variety defined over a finite field with $q$ elements, it is shown that as algebraic integers, the eigenvalues of the geometric Frobenius acting on $\ell$-adic cohomology have higher than known $q$-divisibility beyond…
The following pullback problem will be considered. Given a finite holomorphic map germ $\phi : (\mathbb{C}^{n}, 0) \to (\mathbb{C}^{n}, 0)$ and an analytic germ $X$ in the target, if the preimage $Y = \phi^{-1}(X)$, taken with the reduced…
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…
It is easy to show that a pseudovariety which is reducible with respect to an implicit signature $\sigma$ for the equation $x=y$ can also be defined by $\sigma$-identities. We present several negative examples for the converse using…
Recently E. Feigin introduced the $\mathbb G_a^N$-degenerations of semisimple algebraic groups and their associated degenerate flag varieties. It has been shown by Feigin, Finkelberg, and Littelmann that the degenerate flag varieties in…
Let $F$ be a complete discretely valued field with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}$ and residue field of characteristic $p>2$. Let $G=\operatorname{GO}_{2n}$ denote the split orthogonal similitude group over $F$. For any parahoric level…

A new scheme for proving pseudoidentities from a given set {\Sigma} of pseudoidentities, which is clearly sound, is also shown to be complete in many instances, such as when {\Sigma} defines a locally finite variety, a pseudovariety of…
Let X be a flexible variety of F be an isomorphism of closed one-dimensional subschemes of $X$. We develop criteria which guarantee that F extends to au automorphism of X.
We present a unified ring theoretic approach, based on properties of the Casimir element of a symmetric algebra, to a variety of known divisibility results for the degrees of irreducible representations of semisimple Hopf algebras in…
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…
Suppose one has a map of split short exact sequences in a category of modules, or more generally, in any abelian category. Do the short exact sequences split compatibly, i.e., does there exist a splitting of each short exact sequence which…
