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…

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…

The behavior of the Frobenius map is investigated for valuation rings of prime characteristic. We show that valuation rings are always F-pure. We introduce a generalization of the notion of strong F-regularity, which we call F-pure…

We prove an assortment of results on (commutative and unital) NIP rings, especially $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebras. Let $R$ be a NIP ring. Then every prime ideal or radical ideal of $R$ is externally definable, and every localization $S^{-1}R$ is…

Using an old example of Nagata, we construct a Noetherian ring of prime characteristic p, whose Frobenius morphism is locally finite, but not finite.

We consider properties of extensions of Krull domains such as flatness that involve behavior of extensions and contractions of prime ideals. Let (R,m) be an excellent normal local domain with field of fractions K, let y be a nonzero element…

A domain $R$ is said to have the finite factorization property if every nonzero non-unit element of $R$ has at least one and at most finitely many distinct factorizations up to multiplication of irreducible factors by central units. Let $k$…

Let $R$ be a standard graded finitely generated algebra over an $F$-finite field of prime characteristic, localized at its maximal homogeneous ideal. In this note, we prove that that Frobenius complexity of $R$ is finite. Moreover, we…

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…

Let R* be an ideal-adic completion of a Noetherian integral domain R and let L be a subfield of the total quotient ring of R* such that L contains R. Let A denote the intersection of L with R*. The integral domain A sometimes inherits nice…

Using a local monomialization result of Knaf and Kuhlmann, we prove that the valuation ring of an Abhyankar valuation of a function field over a perfect ground field of prime characteristic is Frobenius split. We show that a Frobenius…

We investigate the rings in which the set of nonzero elements is positive-existential (i.e. a finite union of projections of "algebraic" sets). In the case of Noetherian domains, we prove in particular that this condition is satisfied…

Let $R$ be an infinite Dedekind domain with at most finitely many units, and let $K$ denote its field of fractions. We prove the following statement. If $L/K$ is a finite Galois extension of fields and $\mathcal{O}$ is the integral closure…

Let $k$ be an arbitrary field. We construct examples of regular local $k$-algebras $R$ (of positive dimension) for which the ring of differential operators $D_k(R)$ is trivial in the sense that it contains {\it no} operators of positive…

Let $(R, \frak m)$ be a local ring of prime characteristic $p$ of dimension $d$ with the embedding dimension $v$. Suppose the Frobenius test exponent for parameter ideals $Fte(R)$ of $R$ is finite, and let $Q = p^{Fte(R)}$. It is shown that…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic 0 and $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_m]/I$ be an affine domain. Consider $R=S_P$ where $P\in Spec(S)$ such that $R$ is regular. In this paper we construct a field $F$ which is contained in $R$ such that (1) The…

Let $S$ be a submonoid of a free Abelian group of finite rank. We show that if $k$ is a field of prime characteristic such that the monoid $k$-algebra $k[S]$ is split $F$-regular, then $k[S]$ is a finitely generated $k$-algebra, or…

Let k be a global field and \pp any nonarchimedean prime of k. We give a new and uniform proof of the well known fact that the set of all elements of k which are integral at \pp is diophantine over k. Let k^{perf} be the perfect closure of…

We prove some results on NIP integral domains, especially those that are Noetherian or have finite dp-rank. If $R$ is an NIP Noetherian domain that is not a field, then $R$ is a semilocal ring of Krull dimension 1, and the fraction field of…
