We consider generalized $\Lambda$-structures on algebras and schemes over the ring of integers $\mathit{O}_K$ of a number field $K$. When $K=\mathbb{Q}$, these agree with the $\lambda$-ring structures of algebraic K-theory. We then study…

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…

We give, for every finite group G, a combinatorial description of the ring of G-Witt vectors on a polynomial algebra over the integers. Using this description we show that the functor, which takes a ring with trivial action of G to its ring…

This paper establishes a connection between equivariant ring spectra and Witt vectors in the sense of Dress and Siebeneicher. Given a commutative ringspectrum T in the highly structured sense, that is, an E-infinity-ringspectrum, with…

We approach a problem of realising algebraic objects in a certain universal equivariant stable homotopy theory; the global homotopy theory of Schwede. Specifically, for a global ring spectrum $R$, we consider which classes of ring…

This is an introduction to the theory of Witt vectors. It includes a construction of the Witt rings, the Frobenius and Verschiebung endomorphisms, the canonical map from W to W^2 (its lambda-algebra structure), the relation to strict…

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…

Based on our previous work on an arithmetic analogue of Christol's theorem, this paper studies in more detail the structure of the lambda-ring $E_K = K \otimes W_{O_K}^a (O_{\bar{K}})$ of algebraic Witt vectors for number fields $K$. First…

We study the kernel and cokernel of the Frobenius map on the $p$-typical Witt vectors of a commutative ring, not necessarily of characteristic $p$. We give some equivalent conditions to surjectivity of the Frobenus map on both finite and…

We show that various flavors of Witt vectors are functorial with respect to multiplicative polynomial laws of finite degree. We then deduce that the $p$-typical Witt vectors are functorial in multiplicative polynomial maps of degree at most…

The ring of classic Witt vectors is a fundamental object in mixed characteristic commutative algebra which has many applications in number theory. There is a significant generalization due to Dress and Siebeneicher which for any profinite…

Hesselholt and Madsen in [7] define and study the (absolute, p-typical) de Rham-Witt complex in mixed characteristic, where p is an odd prime. They give as an example an elementary algebraic description of the de Rham-Witt complex over…

We provide a generalization of the construction of a spectrum of a commutative ring as a locally ringed space, applicable to cone injectivity classes in general contexts, especially in locally finitely presentable categories. In its full…

Suppose $R$ is a $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein $F$-finite and $F$-pure ring of prime characteristic $p>0$. We show that if $I\subseteq R$ is a compatible ideal (with all $p^{-e}$-linear maps) then there exists a module finite extension $R\to S$…

Let G < SL(V) be a finite group, V is finite dimensional over a field F, p=char F and S(V) is the symmetric algebra of V. We determine when the subring of G-invariants S(V)^G is a polynomial ring. As a consequence, we classify, if F is…

The purpose of this this paper is to generalize the functors arising from the theory of Witt vectors duto to Cartier. Given a polynomial $g(q)\in \mathbb Z[q]$, we construct a functor ${\overline {W}}^{g(q)}$ from the category of $\mathbb…

The rings of $p$-typical Witt vectors are interpreted as spaces of vanishing cycles for some perverse sheaves over a disc. This allows to "localize"\ an isomorphism emerging in Drinfeld's theory of prismatization [Dr], Prop. 3.5.1, namely…

We study the algebraic $K$-theory of rings of the form $R[x]/x^e$. We do this via trace methods and filtrations on topological Hochschild homology and related theories by quasisyntomic sheaves. We produce computations for $R$ a perfectoid…

Dress and Siebeneicher gave a significant generalization of the construction of Witt vectors, by producing for any profinite group $G$, a ring-valued functor $\mathbf{W}_G$. This paper gives a concrete interpretation of the rings…

This paper investigates the Witt groups of triangulated categories of sheaves (of modules over a ring R in which 2 is invertible) equipped with Poincare-Verdier duality. We consider two main cases, that of perfect complexes of sheaves on…
