We prove the following result related to the inverse problem for universal deformation rings of group representations: Given a finite field k, denote by W(k) the ring of Witt vectors over k and by K the field of fractions of W(k). If a…

We give a direct construction of the ring spectrum of spherical Witt vectors of a perfect $\mathbb{F}_p$-algebra R as the completion of the spherical monoid algebra $\mathbb{S}[R]$ of the multiplicative monoid $(R,\cdot)$ at the ideal $I =…

Let A be a commutative ring with 1/2 in A. In this paper, we define new characteristic classes for finitely generated projective A-modules V provided with a non degenerate quadratic form. These classes belong to the usual K-theory of A.…

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…

Let A be a finitely generated algebra over a field K of characteristic p >0. We introduce a subring of the ring of Witt vectors W(A). We call it the ring of overconvergent Witt vectors. We prove that on a scheme X of finite type over K the…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian commutative ring of dimension $n$, $A=R[X_1,\cdots,X_m]$ be a polynomial ring over $R$ and $P$ be a projective $A[T]$-module of rank $n$. Assume that $P/TP$ and $P_f$ both contain a unimodular element for some monic…

We introduce quasi-invariant polynomials for an arbitrary finite complex reflection group W. Unlike in the Coxeter case, the space Q_k of quasi-invariants of a given multiplicity is not, in general, an algebra but a module over the…

Using $\lambda$ operations, we give some results on the kernel of the natural map from the monoid algebra $\mathbb{Z} R$ of a commutative ring $R$ to the ring of $S$-Witt vectors of $R$. As a byproduct we obtain a very natural…

Given a ring $R$, we study the bimodules $M$ for which the trivial extension $R\propto M$ is morphic. We obtain a complete characterization in the case where $R$ is left perfect, and we prove that $R\propto Q/R$ is morphic when $R$ is a…

For a Weyl group W and its reflection representation mathfrak{h}, we find the character and Hilbert series for a quotient ring of C[mathfrak{h} oplus mathfrak{h}^*] by an ideal containing the W--invariant polynomials without constant term.…

The ring of Witt vectors $\mathbb{W} R$ over a base ring $R$ is an important tool in algebraic number theory and lies at the foundations of modern $p$-adic Hodge theory. $\mathbb{W} R$ has the interesting property that it constructs a ring…

The classical Witt vectors are a ubiquitous object in algebra and number theory. They arise as a functorial construction that takes perfect fields k of prime characteristic p > 0 to p-adically complete discrete valuation rings of…

Applying E. Kowalski's recent generalization of the large sieve we prove that certain properties expected to be typical (irreducibility of the characteristic polynomial, absence of squares among the matrix coefficients...) are indeed…

This paper introduces a novel approach to the axiomatic theory of quadratic forms. We work internally in a category of certain partially ordered sets, subject to additional conditions which amount to a strong form of local presentability.…

For a prime $p$ and an associative ring $R$ with unity, there are various constructions of $p$-typical Witt vectors of $R$, all of which specialize to the classical $p$-typical Witt vectors when $R$ is commutative. These constructions are…
