Principal affine open subsets in affine schemes are an important tool in the foundations of algebraic geometry. Given a commutative ring $R$, $\,R$-modules built from the rings of functions on principal affine open subschemes in…
In this paper, we prove "prismatic Kunz's theorem" which states that a complete Noetherian local ring $R$ of residue characteristic $p$ is a regular local ring if and only if the Frobenius lift on a prismatic complex of (a derived…
A Frobenius manifold is a manifold with a flat metric and a Frobenius algebra structure on tangent spaces at points of the manifold such that the structure constants of multiplication are given by third derivatives of a potential function…
For a smooth map between noetherian schemes, Verdier relates the top relative differentials of the map with the twisted inverse image functor `upper shriek'. We show that the associated traces for smooth proper maps can be rendered concrete…
Given a positive definite even lattice and a commutative ring, there is a standard construction of a lattice vertex algebra over the commutative ring, and it admits a natural grading by non-negative integers. We describe the groups of…
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…
We explain a derived version of the basic construction of localisations of module categories by means of idempotent ideals, which lie at the heart of Faltings' almost ring theory. We use it to provide an example of a commutative algebra in…
Given a liftable smooth proper variety over $\mathbb{F}_p$, we construct the moduli stacks of crystals and isocrystals on it. We show that the former is a formal algebraic stack over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ and the latter is an adic stack -- Artin…
In this paper we study Frobenius bimodules between noncommutative spaces (quasi-schemes), developing some of their basic properties. If X and Y are spaces, we study those Frobenius X,Y-bimodules M satisfying properties that are natural in…
Suppose given a Frobenius category E, i.e. an exact category with a big enough subcategory B of bijectives. Let_E_ := E/B denote its classical stable category. For example, we may take E to be the category of complexes C(A) with entries in…
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)…
The aim of this article is to prove that, under certain conditions, an affine flat normal scheme that is of finite type over a local Dedekind scheme in mixed characteristic admits infinitely many normal effective Cartier divisors. For the…
This article is the first one of a series of three articles devoted to direct images of isocrystals: here we consider isocrystals without Frobenius structure; in the second one (resp. the third one), we will introduce a Frobenius structure…
For a Frobenius abelian category $\mathcal{A}$, we show that the category ${\rm Mon}(\mathcal{A})$ of monomorphisms in $\mathcal{A}$ is a Frobenius exact category; the associated stable category $\underline{\rm Mon}(\mathcal{A})$ modulo…
Relations between some kinds of formal and standard smoothness, for morphisms of schemes, are clarified in surprisingly simple and direct ways, bypassing much of the customarily employed machinery. Even the deep local-to-global property of…
We consider rational projective homogeneous varieties over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, namely quotients of a semi-simple group by a possibly non-reduced parabolic subgroup. We determine the group scheme…
We show how to construct tilting bundles for a class of smooth projective varieties using characteristic $p$ methods. Given such a variety $X$, reduce it modulo a prime number and consider the direct image of the structure sheaf under the…
An affine monoid is an additive monoid which is cancellative, pointed and finitely generated. An affine monoid $\Lambda$ has the partial order defined by $\lambda \le \lambda + \mu$. The Frobenius complex is the order complex of an open…
The purpose of this paper is to describe several applications of finiteness properties of $F$-finite $F$-modules recently discovered by M. Hochster to the study of Frobenius maps on injective hulls, Frobenius near-splittings and to the…
An investigation of morphisms that coincide topologically is used to generalize to all characteristics and partly reprove Tamagawa's theorem on the Grothendieck conjecture in anabelian geometry for affine hyperbolic curves. The theorem now…
