Let R be a perfect F_p-algebra, equipped with the trivial norm. Let W(R) be the ring of p-typical Witt vectors over R, equipped with the p-adic norm. At the level of nonarchimedean analytic spaces (in the sense of Berkovich), we demonstrate…

We give a universal property of the construction of the ring of $p$-typical Witt vectors of a commutative ring, endowed with Witt vectors Frobenius and Verschiebung, and generalize this construction to the derived setting. We define an…

We extend the big and $p$-typical Witt vector functors from commutative rings to commutative semirings. In the case of the big Witt vectors, this is a repackaging of some standard facts about monomial and Schur positivity in the…

We give equivalences between given properties of a commutative ring, and other properties on its ring of Witt vectors. Amongst them, we characterise all commutative rings whose rings of Witt vectors are Noetherian. We define a new category…

We use Lazard's universal $\pi$-ring to construct a variation of the $\pi$-typical ramified Witt vector functors, which we call the Lazardian Witt vector functor. We then use the Lazardian Witt vector functor to construct the universal…

We give a concrete description of the category of etale algebras over the ring of Witt vectors of a given finite length with entries in an arbitrary ring. We do this not only for the classical p-typical and big Witt vector functors but also…

A notion of one-dimensional formal ring is presented. It consists of a triple $(A,\Phi,\Psi)$ where $A$ is a unital ring and $\Phi$ and $\Psi$ are two formal power series in $2$ variables ${\Phi(x,y),\Psi(x,y)\in A\llbracket…

Over a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p > 0$, we construct a ``Witt vector cohomology with compact supports'' for separated $k$-schemes of finite type, extending (after tensorisation with $\mathbb{Q}$) the classical theory for proper…

For a not-necessarily commutative ring R we define an abelian group W(R;M) of Witt vectors with coefficients in an R-bimodule M. These groups generalize the usual big Witt vectors of commutative rings and we prove that they have analogous…

We compute the center of the ring of PD differential operators on a smooth variety over $\bZ/p^n\bZ$ confirming a conjecture of Kaledin. More generally, given an associative algebra $A_0$ over $\bF_p$ and its flat deformation $A_n$ over…

The field of $p$-adic numbers $\mathbb{Q}_p$ and the ring of $p$-adic integers $\mathbb{Z}_p$ are essential constructions of modern number theory. Hensel's lemma, described by Gouv\^ea as the "most important algebraic property of the…

We give a $K$-theoretic account of the basic properties of Witt vectors. Along the way we re-prove basic properties of the little-known Witt vector norm, give a characterization of Witt vectors in terms of algebraic $K$-theory, and a…

Local fields, and fields complete with respect to a discrete valuation, are essential objects in commutative algebra, with applications to number theory and algebraic geometry. We formalize in Lean the basic theory of discretely valued…

The explicit formulas of operations, in particular addition and multiplication, of $p $-adic integers are presented. As applications of the results, at first the explicit formulas of operations of Witt vectors with coefficients in…

We show that the p-operator in the Witt algebra (the restricted Lie algebra of derivations of the quotient of the polynomial algebra over a field of characteristic p by the ideal generated by the p-th power of the indeterminant) is given by…

In ``New Proofs of the structure theorems for Witt Rings'', Lewis shows how the standard ring-theoretic results on the Witt ring can be deduced in a quick and elementary way from the fact that the Witt ring of a field is integral and from…

Let $\Bbbk$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>3$, and let $W$ denote the $p$-dimensional Witt algebra, the first example of a non-classical simple Lie algebra. For a non-negative integer $\ell$, consider the associated…

We describe an algorithm which computes the ring laws for Witt vectors of finite length over a polynomial ring with coefficients in a finite field. This algorithm uses an isomorphism of Illusie in order to compute in an adequate polynomial…

Let $A$ be any associative ring , possibly non-commutative, and let $p$ be a prime number. Let $E(A)$ be the ring of $p$-typical Witt vectors as constructed by Cuntz and Deninger and $W(A)$ be that constructed by Hesselholt. The goal of…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field of $q$ elements with characteristic $p$. Let $\mathbb{Z}_q$ denote the unramified extension of the $p$-adic integers $\mathbb{Z}_p$ with residue field $\mathbb{F}_q$. In this paper, we investigate…
