We use the framework of perfectoid big Cohen-Macaulay algebras to define a class of singularities for pairs in mixed characteristic, which we call purely BCM-regular singularities, and a corresponding adjoint ideal. We prove that these…

We define a (perfectoid) mixed characteristic version of $F$-signature and Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity by utilizing the perfectoidization functor of Bhatt-Scholze and Faltings' normalized length (also developed in the work of Gabber-Ramero).…

We prove a version of weakly functorial big Cohen-Macaulay algebras that suffices to establish Hochster-Huneke's vanishing conjecture for maps of Tor in mixed characteristic. As a corollary, we prove an analog of Boutot's theorem that…

We further the classification of rational surface singularities. Suppose $(S, \mathfrak{n}, \mathcal{k})$ is a strictly Henselian regular local ring of mixed characteristic $(0, p > 5)$. We classify functions $f$ for which $S/(f)$ has an…

In this paper, we use big Cohen-Macaulay algebras to define a characteristic free analog of the $F$-thresholds, which we call BCM-thresholds, in the case of principal ideals. We prove that, similarly to the case of the $F$-thresholds, the…

In this paper, an algebraic theory for local rings of finite embedding dimension is developed. Several extensions of (Krull) dimension are proposed, which are then used to generalize singularity notions from commutative algebra. Finally,…

This paper contains two theorems concerning the theory of maximal Cohen--Macaulay modules. The first theorem proves that certain Ext groups between maximal Cohen--Macaulay modules $M$ and $N$ must have finite length, provided only finitely…

We give a canonical construction of a balanced big Cohen-Macaulay algebra for a domain of finite type over $\mathbb C$ by taking ultraproducts of absolute integral closures in positive characteristic. This yields a new tight closure…

We study the Cohen-Macaulay property of a particular class of radical extensions of an unramified regular local ring having mixed characteristic.

In analogy with the classical, affine toric rings, we define a local toric ring as the quotient of a regular local ring modulo an ideal generated by binomials in a regular system of parameters with unit coefficients; if the coefficients are…

For a normal F-finite variety $X$ and a boundary divisor $\Delta$ we give a uniform description of an ideal which in characteristic zero yields the multiplier ideal, and in positive characteristic the test ideal of the pair $(X,\Delta)$.…

One of the most stunning results in the representation theory of Cohen-Macaulay rings is Auslander's well known theorem which states a CM local ring of finite CM type can have at most an isolated singularity. There have been some…

Tight closure test ideals have been central to the classification of singularities in rings of characteristic $p>0$, and via reduction to characteristic $p$, in equal characteristic zero as well. A summary of their properties and…

We prove that, given a sufficiently functorial assignment from rings to big Cohen-Macaulay algebras $R \mapsto B$, that the associated big Cohen-Macaulay closure operation on ideals $I \mapsto I B \cap R$ necessarily satisfies the…

There is a well known link from the first topic in the title to the third one. In this paper we thread that link through the second topic. The central result is a criterion for the tensor nilpotence of morphisms of perfect complexes over…

We provide a formula to compute the big Cohen-Macaulay test ideal for triples $((R,\Delta),\mathfrak{a}^{t})$ where $R$ is a mixed characteristic toric ring and $\mathfrak{a}$ is a monomial ideal. Of particular interest is that this result…

For any $d\ge 4$, by deformation theory of schemes, we present examples of (complete or excellent) $d$-dimensional mixed characteristic normal local domains admitting no small Cohen-Macaulay algebra, but admitting instances of small…

We introduce the notion of a lim Cohen-Macaulay sequence of modules. We prove the existence of such sequences in positive characteristic, and show that their existence in mixed characteristic implies the long open conjecture about…

Over a complete Noetherian local domain of mixed characteristic with perfect residue field, we construct a perfectoid ring which is similar to an explicit representation of a perfect closure in positive characteristic. Then we demonstrate…

Generalizing previous work of the first author, we introduce and study a characteristic free analog of the $F$-threshold for non-principal ideals, BCM-thresholds. We show that this coincides with the classical $F$-threshold for weakly…
