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].

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.

AbstractWe discuss the birational geometry of singular surfaces in positive characteristic. More precisely, we establish the minimal model program and the abundance theorem for ℚ-factorial surfaces and for log canonical surfaces. Moreover, in the case where the base field is the algebraic closure of a finite field, we obtain the same results under much weaker assumptions.

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.

AbstractThe author considers the development of algorithms for deciding whether a finitely generated matrix group over a field of positive characteristic is finite. A deterministic algorithm for deciding the finiteness is presented for the case of a field of transcendence degree one over a finite field.

In analogy with the complex analytic case, Mustaţă constructed (a family of) Bernstein–Sato polynomials for the structure sheaf${\mathcal{O}}_{X}$and a hypersurface$(f=0)$in$X$, where$X$is a regular variety over an$F$-finite field of positive characteristic (see Mustaţă,Bernstein–Sato polynomials in positive characteristic, J. Algebra321(1) (2009), 128–151). He shows that the suitably interpreted zeros of his Bernstein–Sato polynomials correspond to the$F$-jumping numbers of the test ideal filtration${\it\tau}(X,f^{t})$. In the present paper we generalize Mustaţă’s construction replacing${\mathcal{O}}_{X}$by an arbitrary$F$-regular Cartier module$M$on$X$and show an analogous correspondence of the zeros of our Bernstein–Sato polynomials with the jumping numbers of the associated filtration of test modules${\it\tau}(M,f^{t})$provided that$f$is a nonzero divisor on$M$.

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 function field over a perfect constant field of positive characteristic p, and L the compositum of n (degree p) Artin–Schreier extensions of K. Then much of the behavior of the degree pn extension L/K is determined by the behavior of the degree p intermediate extensions M/K. For example, we prove that a place of K totally ramifies/is inert/splits completely in L if and only if it totally ramifies/is inert/splits completely in every M. Examples are provided to show that all possible decompositions are in fact possible; in particular, a place can be inert in a non-cyclic Galois function field extension, which is impossible in the case of a number field. Moreover, we give an explicit closed form description of all the different exponents in L/K in terms of those in all the M/K. Results of a similar nature are given for the genus, the regulator, the ideal class number and the divisor class number. In addition, for the case n = 2, we provide an explicit description of the ramification group filtration of L/K.
