Regular rings and perfectoid towers

We prove a mixed-characteristic analogue of Kunz's theorem in terms of perfectoid towers: a Noetherian local ring of residue characteristic $p$ is regular if and only if it admits a flat map to a Noetherian ring that extends to a perfectoid tower. This result is deduced from another mixed-characteristic analogue due to O. Gabber and J. Lurie. We also characterize regularity for perfectoid towers via vanishing of single higher $\mathrm{Tor}$-module of the residue field with a perfectoid algebra.
