Abstract

Let K be any field and G be a finite group. We will prove that, if K is any field, p an odd prime number, and G is a non-abelian group of exponent p with |G|=p^3 or p^4 satisfying [K(ζ_p):K] <= 2, then K(G) is rational over K. We will also show that K(G) is retract rational if G belongs to a much larger class of p-groups. In particular, generic G-polynomials of G-Galois extensions exist for these groups.

Homological Detection by Perfectoid Algebras

We first establish estimates for the projective and injective dimensions for quotients of perfectoid algebras by radical ideals. As applications, we obtain homological characterizations of modules of finite injective dimension, (big) Cohen--Macaulay modules, Gorenstein local rings, and regular local rings in mixed characteristic in terms of perfectoid algebras. These are mixed characteristic analogues of the corresponding characterizations via Frobenius morphisms in positive characteristic.

Holomorphy rings and the Nullstellensatz over large fields

For an infinite field $K$ and an ideal $I\subseteq K[X_1,\dots,X_n]$, let $J(Z_K(I))$ be the ideal of polynomials vanishing on the $K$-rational zero locus of $I$. A Nullstellensatz over $K$ is an algebraic description of this closure operator on ideals. Hilbert's classical theorem provides such a description via the radical of $I$ over any algebraically closed field. In the present article, we introduce a unifying framework for Nullstellensätze over arbitrary rings using the notion of an $A$-radical, for $A$ is a subring of $K(X)$ containing $K[X]$. We show that a single canonical holomorphy ring gives a Nullstellensatz over every infinite field, recovering Hilbert's theorem when $K$ is algebraically closed. In addition, we give a new characterization of large fields (in the sense of Pop) via a particular Nullstellensatz: a perfect field is large exactly when the \emph{rational} holomorphy ring $A_n(K)$--the intersection of all $K$-rational places of residue field exactly $K$--satisfies the corresponding Nullstellensatz. Finally we study the order structure of the class of rings $A$ for which the $A$-radical gives a Nullstellensatz. We show that over non-algebraically closed fields this class has no minimal element, showing there is no optimal Nullstellensatz over such fields.

On the variety of sum of powers of certain complete intersection forms

Let $F$ be a homogeneous polynomial (form). If the annihilator ideal $F^\perp$ is a complete intersection, then $F$ is called as a complete intersection form. For many complete intersection forms, we show that its minimal apolar ideal is a complete intersection and further we show that ${\rm VSP}(F)$ is irreducible and compute its dimension.
