In this paper we prove that for an affine scheme essentially of finite type over a field $F$ and of dimension $d$, $K_{d+1}$-regularity implies regularity, assuming that the characteristic of $F$ is zero. This verifies a conjecture of…

Vorst's conjecture relates the regularity of a ring with the $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy invariance of its $K$-theory. We show a variant of this conjecture in positive characteristic.

Let (R,m,k) be an excellent local ring of positive prime characteristic. We show that if Tor_1^R(R^+,k) = 0 then R is regular. This improves a result of Schoutens, in which the additional hypothesis that R was an isolated singularity was…

This paper studies "pro-excision" for the K-theory of one-dimensional (usually semi-local) rings and its various applications. In particular, we prove Geller's conjecture for equal characteristic rings over a perfect field of finite…

Let k be a field of characteristic zero, K an algebraic function field over k, and V a k-valuation ring of K. Zariski's theorem of local uniformization shows that there exist algebraic regular local rings R_i with quotient field K which are…

Let $R$ be a commutative $k-$algebra over a field $k$. Assume $R$ is a noetherian, infinite, integral domain. The group of $k-$automorphisms of $R$,i.e.$Aut_k(R)$ acts in a natural way on $(R-k)$.In the first part of this article, we study…

Let $\mathbf{k}$ be a field of arbitrary characteristic, let $\Lambda$ be a finite dimensional $\mathbf{k}$-algebra, and let $V$ be an indecomposable Gorenstein-projective $\Lambda$-module with finite dimension over $\mathbf{k}$. It follows…

For a homomorphism f: A --> B of commutative rings, let D(A,B) denote Ker[Pic(A) --> Pic(B)]. Let k be a field and assume that A is a f.g. k-algebra. We prove a number of finiteness results for D(A,B). Here are four of them. 1: Suppose B is…

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…

Let $R$ be a regular ring of dimension $d$ containing a field $K$ of characteristic zero. If $E$ is an $R$-module let $Ass^i E = \{ Q \in \ Ass E \mid \ height Q = i \}$. Let $P$ be a prime ideal in $R$ of height $g$. We show that if $R/P$…

Let $k$ be a perfect field of characteristic $p>0$, $k(t)_{per}$ the perfect closure of $k(t)$ and $A$ a $k$-algebra. We characterize whether the ring $A\otimes_k k(t)_{per}$ is noetherian or not. As a consequence, we prove that the ring…

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…

We take a fresh look at the relationship between $K$-regularity and regularity of schemes, proving two results in this direction. First, we show that $K_2$-regular affine algebras over fields of characteristic zero are normal. Second, we…

We show that every complete noetherian local commutative ring R with residue field k can be realized as a universal deformation ring of a continuous linear representation of a profinite group. More specifically, R is the universal…

We prove that a local domain $R$, essentially of finite type over a field, is regular if and only if for every regular alteration $\pi : X \to Spec R$, we have that $R \pi_* \mathcal{O}_X$ has finite (equivalently zero in characteristic…

Let $(R,\m,k)$ be a local (Noetherian) ring of positive prime characteristic $p$ and dimension $d$. Let $G_\dt$ be a minimal resolution of the residue field $k$, and for each $i\ge 0$, let $\gothic t_i(R) = \lim_{e\to \8}…

We prove the following result related to the inverse problem for universal deformation rings of group representations: Given a finite field k, denote by W(k) the ring of Witt vectors over k and by K the field of fractions of W(k). If a…

Let $\k$ be an algebraically closed field, let $\A$ be a finite dimensional $\k$-algebra and let $V$ be a $\A$-module with stable endomorphism ring isomorphic to $\k$. If $\A$ is self-injective then $V$ has a universal deformation ring…

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…

For a totally positive definite quadratic form over the ring of integers of a totally real number field $K$, we show that there are only finitely many totally real field extensions of $K$ of a fixed degree over which the form is universal…
