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 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…
It is proved that when R is a local ring of positive characteristic, $\phi$ is its Frobenius endomorphism, and some non-zero finite R-module has finite flat dimension or finite injective dimension for the R-module structure induced through…
This is a survey on the relation between homological properties of the Frobenius endomorphism and finiteness of various homological dimensions of the ring or of modules over it, such as global dimension and projective dimension. We begin…
In arXiv:1109.6438v1 [math.AG] we introduced and studied a notion of algebraic entropy. In this paper we will give an application of algebraic entropy in proving Kunz Regularity Criterion for all contracting self-maps of finite length of…
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 prove that a local domain $R$, essentially of finite type over a field, is regular if and only if for every regular alteration $\pi : X \to Spec R$, we have that $R \pi_* \mathcal{O}_X$ has finite (equivalently zero in characteristic…
In this paper all rings are commutative. We prove some new results on flat epimorphisms of rings and pointwise localizations. Especially among them, it is proved that a ring $R$ is an absolutely flat (von-Neumann regular) ring if and only…
Broadening existing results in the literature to much wider classes of rings, we prove among other things: 1. Reduced quotients of excellent regular rings of characteristic $p$ admit big test elements, 2. The set of F-jumping numbers of a…
Fix any field $K$ of characteristic $p$ such that $[K:K^p]$ is finite. We discuss excellence for Noetherian domains whose fraction field is $K$, showing for example, that $R$ is excellent if and only if the Frobenius map is finite on $R$.…
The Newlander-Nirenberg theorem says that a formally integrable complex structure is locally equivalent to the complex structure in the complex Euclidean space. We will show two results about the Newlander-Nirenberg theorem with parameter.…
A result of Watanabe and Yoshida says that an unmixed local ring of positive characteristic is regular if and only if its Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity is one. We show that, for fixed $p$ (characteristic) and $d$ (dimension), there exist a…
We prove that if $X \to Y$ is a (geometrically) regular morphism of Noetherian schemes, then from a Nisnevich-local perspective, the Gersten complex for Quillen $K$-theory on $X$ becomes acyclic in degrees beyond the Krull dimension of $Y$.…
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…
Valuation rings and perfectoid rings are examples of (usually non-noetherian) rings that behave in some sense like regular rings. We give and study an extension of the concept of regular local rings to non-noetherian rings so that it…
It is proved that a noetherian commutative local ring A containing a field is regular if there is a complex M of free A-modules with the following properties: M_i=0 for i not in [0,dim A]; the homology of M has finite length; H_0(M)…
Let $(R,\m,k)$ be a local (Noetherian) ring of positive prime characteristic $p$ and dimension $d$. Let $G_\dt$ be a minimal resolution of the residue field $k$, and for each $i\ge 0$, let $\gothic t_i(R) = \lim_{e\to \8}…
We prove a versions of amplitude inequalities of Iversen, Foxby and Iyengar, and Frankild and Sather-Wagstaff that replace finite generation conditions with adic finiteness conditions. As an application, we prove that a local ring $R$ of…
We provide suitable conditions under which the asymptotic limit of the Hilbert-Samuel coefficients of the Frobenius powers of an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal exists in a Noetherian local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ with prime characteristic…
We prove model completeness for the theory of addition and the Frobenius map for certain subrings of rational functions in positive characteristic. More precisely: Let $p$ be a prime number, $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ the prime field with $p$…
