Singularities in mixed characteristic via perfectoid big Cohen-Macaulay algebras
Abstract: I will discuss applications of the
existence and functoriality of big Cohen-Macaulay algebras (due to Andre,
Gabber and others) to study singularities in mixed characteristic. In
particular, we introduce analogs of rational/F-rational and log terminal/F-regular
singularities in mixed characteristic and study their properties. As an
application, we will obtain new results on F-rationality and F-regularity
as the characteristic varies.
