The main purpose of this paper is a wide generalization of one of the results abstract algebraic geometry begins with, namely of the fact that the prime spectrum $\mathrm{Spec}(R)$ of a unital commutative ring $R$ is always a spectral…

We prove $p$-complete arc-descent results for finite projective modules and perfect complexes over integral perfectoid rings. Using our results, we clarify a reduction argument in the proof of the classification of $p$-divisible groups over…

The symmetric coinvariant algebra $C[x_1, dots, x_n]_{S_n}$ is the quotient algebra of the polynomial ring by the ideal generated by symmetric polynomials vanishing at the origin. It is known that the algebra is isomorphic to the regular…

Let O_K be a discrete valuation ring of mixed characteristics (0,p), with residue field k. Using work of Sekiguchi and Suwa, we construct some finite flat O_K-models of the group scheme \mu_{p^n,K} of p^n-th roots of unity, which we call…

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…

(Quoted from the article) Our object is the theory of "{\pi}-exponentials" Pulita developed in his thesis [...] We start with an abstract algebra statement about the structure of the kernel of iterations of the Frobenius endomorphism on the…

We construct an element in a completion of the universal enveloping algebra of $\mathfrak{gl}_N$, which we call the Kirillov projector, that connects the topics of the title: on the one hand, it is defined using the evaluation homomorphism…

Idealization of a module $K$ over a commutative ring $S$ produces a ring having $K$ as an ideal, all of whose elements are nilpotent. We develop a method that under suitable field-theoretic conditions produces from an $S$-module $K$ and…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, and let W be the ring of infinite Witt vectors over k. Suppose G is a finite group and B is a block of kG of infinite tame representation type. We find all finitely…

Let k be a perfect field of characteristic p and let $W_n(k)$ denote the p-typical Witt vectors of length n. For example, $W_n(\mathbb{F}_p)=\mathbb{Z}/p^n$. We study the algebraic K-theory of $W_n(k)$, and prove that $K(W_n(k))$ satisfies…

This paper gives a new and direct construction of the multi-prime big de Rham-Witt complex which is defined for every commutative and unital ring; the original construction by the author and Madsen relied on the adjoint functor theorem and…

We study the sheafification of $W_{\mathrm{rat}} (\mathcal{O})$ and of the maps $\underline{\mathbb{Z}} \mathcal{O} \to W_{\mathrm{rat}} (\mathcal{O})$ and $W_{\mathrm{rat}} (\mathcal{O}) \to W_J (\mathcal{O})$ in various Grothendieck…

The purpose of this note is to relate certain ring-theoretic properties of rings in mixed and positive characteristics that are related to each other by a tilting operation used in perfectoid geometry. To this aim, we exploit the…

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic two. Let R be the ring of Witt vectors of length two over k. We construct a group stack \hat G over k, the metaplectic extension of the Greenberg realization of Sp_{2n}(R). We also…

We consider the tensor product of modules over the polynomial algebra corresponding to the usual tensor product of linear operators. We present a general description of the representation ring in case the ground field k is perfect. It is…

Spectrum constructions appear throughout mathematics as a way of constructing topological spaces from algebraic data. Given a commutative localic semiring R (the pointfree analogue of a topological semiring), we define a spectrum of R which…

Kuratowski's closure-complement problem gives rise to a monoid generated by the closure and complement operations. Consideration of this monoid yielded an interesting classification of topological spaces, and subsequent decades saw further…

For any ring $R$, we introduce an invariant in the form of a partially ordered abelian semigroup $\mathrm{S}(R)$ built from an equivalence relation on the class of countably generated projective modules. We call $\mathrm{S}(R)$ the Cuntz…

Suppose $\Gamma$ is a submonoid of a lattice, not containing a line. In this note, we use the natural $\Gamma$-grading on the monoid algebra $R[\Gamma]$ to prove structural results about the relative $K$-theory $K(R[\Gamma], R)$. When $R$…

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…
