Course description and aims
The objective of the course is to explain the theory of tight closure, which is a positive-characteristic method introduced by M. Hochster and C. Huneke in 1986. This theory has been developing in connection with the studying of singularities on algebraic varieties and offers powerful tools to solve outstanding problems in commutative ring theory. We will also discuss more recent hot topics in this research, including perfectoid geometry and singularities appearing on local models of Shimura varieties.
Student learning outcomes
1. Understand basic properties of Frobenius maps
2. Understand the relationship between tight closures and F-singularities
3. Understand the proof and the meaning of Kunz theorem
4. Understand the basics of perfectoid theory
Keywords
