Indivisible Sequences and Descendability

Commutative Algebra 2024-12-02 v1

Abstract

We introduce the notion of indivisible sequences and show that to any indivisible sequence {S,Ψ:SR}\{S, \Psi: S \to R\} we can associate faithfully flat ring maps RRR \to R' that are not descendable. As a corollary, we obtain the first example of a faithfully flat ring map between n1\aleph_{n-1}-countable rings that has descendability exponent nn, and indeed a faithfully flat ring map between ω\aleph_{\omega}-countable rings that is not descendable.
