Let $R$ be a standard graded algebra over an $F$-finite field of characteristic $p > 0$. Let $\phi:R\to R$ be the Frobenius endomorphism. For each finitely generated graded $R$-module $M$, let ${}^{\phi}\!M$ be the abelian group $M$ with…
For a reduced Noetherian ring $R$ of characteristic $p > 0$, in this paper we discuss an extension of $R$ called its perfect closure $R^\infty$. This extension contains all $p^e$-th roots of elements of $R$, and is usually non-Noetherian.…
We define the Frobenius limit of a module over a ring of prime characteristic to be the limit of the normalized Frobenius direct images in a certain Grothendieck group. When a finite group acts on a polynomial ring, we calculate this limit…
Let $(R,\mathfrak{m}_R,k)$ be a one-dimensional complete local reduced $k$-algebra over a field of characteristic zero. R. Berger conjectured that $R$ is regular if and only if the universally finite module of differentials $\Omega_R$ is…
We prove an analog of the Tian-Todorov theorem for twisted generalized Calabi-Yau manifolds; namely, we show that the moduli space of generalized complex structures on a compact twisted generalized Calabi-Yau manifold is unobstructed and…
The notions of Betti numbers and of Bass numbers of a finite module N over a local ring R are extended to modules that are only assumed to be finite over S, for some local homomorphism f: R --> S. Various techniques are developed to study…
Let $S$ be the left bialgebroid $\End {}_BA_B$ over the centralizer $R$ of a right D2 algebra extension $A \| B$, which is to say that its tensor-square is isomorphic as $A$-$B$-bimodules to a direct summand of a finite direct sum of $A$…
We formulate a conjecture characterizing smooth projective varieties in positive characteristic whose Frobenius morphism can be lifted modulo $p^2$ - we expect that such varieties, after a finite \'etale cover, admit a toric fibration over…
For a commutative local ring $R$, consider (noncommutative) $R$-algebras $\Lambda$ of the form $\Lambda = End_R(M)$ where $M$ is a reflexive $R$-module with nonzero free direct summand. Such algebras $\Lambda$ of finite global dimension can…
We prove new modularity lifting theorems for p-adic Galois representations in situations where the methods of Wiles and Taylor--Wiles do not apply. Previous generalizations of these methods have been restricted to situations where the…
Let $T$ be an infinitely generated tilting module of projective dimension at most one over an arbitrary associative ring $A$, and let $B$ be the endomorphism ring of $T$. In this paper, we prove that if $T$ is good then there exists a ring…
Given a ring R, we investigate tilting modules of the form S \oplus S/R for some injective ring epimorphism R \to S. In particular, we are interested in tilting modules arising from Schofield's universal localization. For some rings, in…
We show how to obtain minimal projective resolutions of finitely generated modules over an idempotent subring $\Gamma_e := (1-e)R(1-e)$ of a semiperfect noetherian basic ring $R$ by a construction inside $\mathsf{mod} R$. This is then…
Let R be a commutative ring with identity and S a multiplicative subset of R. The aim of this paper is to study the class of commutative rings in which every S-flat module is flat (resp., projective). An R-module M is said to be S-flat if…
We study homological properties of test modules that are, in principle, modules that detect finite homological dimensions. The main outcome of our results is a generalization of a classical theorem of Auslander and Bridger: we prove that,…
Let $K/\mathbf{Q}_p$ be a finite unramified extension, $\overline{\rho}:\mathrm{Gal}(\overline{\mathbf{Q}}_p/K)\rightarrow\mathrm{GL}_n(\overline{\mathbf{F}}_p)$ a continuous representation, and $\tau$ a tame inertial type of dimension $n$.…
In a previous paper, we stated a general almost purity theorem in the style of Faltings: if R is a ring for which the Frobenius maps on finite p-typical Witt vectors over R are surjective, then the integral closure of R in a finite \'etale…
In this note we consider a notion of relative Frobenius pairs of commutative rings $S/R$. To such a pair, we associate an $\mathbb{N}$-graded $R$-algebra $\Pi_R(S)$ which has a simple description and coincides with the preprojective algebra…
Let $R$ and $S$ be rings and $_R\omega_S$ a semidualizing bimodule. We prove that there exists a Morita equivalence between the class of $\infty$-$\omega$-cotorsionfree modules and a subclass of the class of $\omega$-adstatic modules. Also…
Let $A=\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ be the polynomial ring over $\mathbb{F}_q$, and $F$ be the field of fractions of $A$. Let $\phi$ be a Drinfeld $A$-module of rank $r\geq 2$ over $F$. For all but finitely many primes $\mathfrak{p}\lhd A$, one can…
