strong characteristic 0 replaced by a more standard name
May 20, 2023 at 6:43 comment added M.G. @R.vanDobbendeBruyn: You are right, $\mathbb{Z}$-torsion free is much better than my made-up non-standard name! I will edit accordingly.

May 19, 2023 at 22:30 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn Probably the most common name for your current condition is that $R$ is $\mathbf Z$-torsion free (equivalently, flat over $\mathbf Z$, whereas characteristic $0$ only means that $\operatorname{Spec} R \to \operatorname{Spec} \mathbf Z$ is dominant).

May 19, 2023 at 15:16 comment added M.G. I've modified the question b/c "equicharacteristic" does not seem suitable since $\mathbb{Z}$ is of mixed characteristic and is allowed. The correct characteristic assumption should be that $R$ admits an extension containing $\mathbb{Q}$ in order to avoid pathological examples like Z x F_p.

characteristic -> equichar.
May 19, 2023 at 14:28 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn But for $R = \mathbf Z \times \mathbf F_p$ it should be false, right? Take $f = (0,1)x^p-(1,1)x$.
May 19, 2023 at 14:24 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn Does characteristic $0$ for you mean equicharacteristic $0$ (i.e. $R$ contains $\mathbf Q$), or is $R = \mathbf Z$ allowed as well? What about $R = \mathbf Z \times \mathbf F_p$?
