Bertin (1972) defined regularity for coherent local rings, and Knaf (2004) studied the property for a local ring $A$ essentially finitely presented over a valuation ring $V$. We discuss several properties of this notion of regularity for…
Let u be a local homomorphism of noetherian local rings forming part of a commutative square vf=gu. We give some conditions on the square which imply that u is formally smooth. This result encapsulates a variety of (apparently unrelated)…
We give a short proof that any smooth (means formally smooth and finitely presented) homomorphism of rings can be obtained by base change from a smooth homomorphism of noetherian rings. Together with the elegant short proof by J. Conde-Lago…
We prove a $p$-adic analog of Kunz's theorem: a $p$-adically complete noetherian ring is regular exactly when it admits a faithfully flat map to a perfectoid ring. This result is deduced from a more precise statement on detecting finiteness…
We investigate the transfer of regularity between commutative, noetherian, local rings through a class of local homomorphisms which we call basically regular. We give numerical characterizations of these maps, investigate their behavior…
We prove several results showing that the algebraic $K$-theory of valuation rings behave as though such rings were regular Noetherian, in particular an analogue of the Geisser--Levine theorem. We also give some new proofs of known results…
We show that any homomorphism between Noetherian $F$-finite rings can be factored into a regular morphism between Noetherian $F$-finite rings followed by a surjection. This result establishes an analog of the 'smooth-by-surjective'…
Elkik established a remarkable theorem that can be applied for any noetherian henselian ring. For algebraic equations with a formal solution (restricted by some smoothness assumption), this theorem provides a solution adically close to the…
We prove a mixed-characteristic analogue of Kunz's theorem in terms of perfectoid towers: a Noetherian local ring of residue characteristic $p$ is regular if and only if it admits a flat map to a Noetherian ring that extends to a perfectoid…
We investigate flat maps where the source or target is a Noetherian ring, giving necessary and/or sufficient conditions on a ring for such maps to exist. Along the way, we develop some general facts about flat ring maps, and exhibit many…
In the central theorem of this article we prove the following: if $R$ is a complete regular local ring and $B$ is the integral closure of $R$ in the algebraic closure of the fraction field of $R$, then $\Hom_R(B, R) \neq 0$. Our proof of…
We show that for finite dimensional regular Noetherian rings that contain a field or are smooth over a Dedekind domain, the comparison map from the Hermitian K-theory of genuine symmetric forms to that of symmetric forms is an equivalence…
We give an elementary proof prove of the preservation of the Noetherian condition for commutative rings with unity $R$ having at least one finitely generated ideal $I$ such that the quotient ring is again finitely generated, and $R$ is…
Non notherian Formal schemes of perfectoid type (for example $\mathbb{Z}_p[p^{1/p^\infty}]\langle X^{1/p^\infty} \rangle$ along with its multivariate version) with rational degree are constructed and are shown to be admissible. These formal…
The purpose of this work is to investigate various notions of regularity from the perspective of finiteness conditions, with the ultimate goal of identifying broad classes of rings that are $\mathsf{K}_0$-regular. In this direction, we…
The existence of an equidimensional morphism f with etale local sections from a regular algebraic space X to a locally noetherian normal algebraic space S of characteristic zero with excellent local rings implies that S is regular and f…
We show that the algebraic K-theory of semi-valuation rings with stably coherent regular semi-fraction ring satisfies homotopy invariance. Moreover, we show that these rings are regular if their valuation is non-trivial. Thus they yield…
Grothendieck's cohomological purity predicts that the cohomology of a scheme is insensitive to removing a closed subscheme of sufficiently high codimension. In this article, we establish a form of flat cohomological purity over arbitrary…
The rank of a ring $R$ is the supremum of minimal cardinalities of generating sets of $I$, among all ideals $I$ in $R$. In this paper, we obtain a characterization of Noetherian rings $R$ whose rank is not equal to the supremum of ranks of…
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…
