AbstractWe consider the algebraic K-theory of a truncated polynomial algebra in several commuting variables, . This naturally leads to a new generalization of the big Witt vectors. If k is a perfect field of positive characteristic we describe the K-theory computation in terms of a cube of these Witt vectors on ℕn. If the characteristic of k does not divide any of the ai we compute the K-groups explicitly. We also compute the K-groups modulo torsion for k = ℤ.To understand this K-theory spectrum we use the cyclotomic trace map to topological cyclic homology, and write as the iterated homotopy cofiber of an n-cube of spectra, each of which is easier to understand.

In [On affine-ruled rational surfaces, Math. Ann.255(3) (1981) 287–302], Russell had proved that when k is a perfect field of positive characteristic, the polynomial ring k[X, Y] is cancellative. In this note, we shall show that this cancellation property holds even without the hypothesis that k is perfect.

Let [Formula: see text] be an [Formula: see text]-finite field containing an infinite perfect field of positive characteristic. Let [Formula: see text] be a projective log canonical pair over [Formula: see text]. In this note, we show that, for a semi-ample divisor [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text], there exists an effective [Formula: see text]-divisor [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] is log canonical if there exists a log resolution of [Formula: see text].

Abstract.We develop an elimination theory for addition and the Frobenius map over rings of polynomials. As a consequence we show that if F is a countable, recursive and perfect field of positive characteristic p, with decidable theory, then the structure of addition, the Frobenius map x → xp and the property ‘x ∈ F1, over the ring of polynomials F[T], has a decidable theory.

Abstract We prove a product formula for the determinant of the cohomology of an étale sheaf with $\ell $ -adic coefficients over an arbitrary proper scheme over a perfect field of positive characteristic p distinct from $\ell $ . The local contributions are constructed by iterating vanishing cycle functors as well as certain exact additive functors that can be considered as linearised versions of Artin conductors and local $\varepsilon $ -factors. We provide several applications of our higher dimensional product formula, such as twist formulas for global $\varepsilon $ -factors.

AbstractUsing a local construction from a previous paper, we exhibit a numerical invariant, the differential Swan conductor, for an isocrystal on a variety over a perfect field of positive characteristic overconvergent along a boundary divisor; this leads to an analogous construction for certain p-adic and l-adic representations of the étale fundamental group of a variety. We then demonstrate some variational properties of this definition for overconvergent isocrystals, paying special attention to the case of surfaces.

Let 𝕜 be a field of characteristic p > 0 and R be a subalgebra of 𝕜[X] = 𝕜[x1, …, xn]. Let J(R) be the ideal in 𝕜[X] defined by [Formula: see text]. It is shown that if it is a principal ideal then [Formula: see text], where q = pn(p - 1)/2.
