I am wondering to what extent the functors "ring of invariants under a group action $G$" and "divided power envelope with respect to a $G$-stable ideal" commute. To be precise, let $R$ be a ...

It is well known that the ring $A_{\mathrm{cris}}$ of Fontaine is the universal $p$-adically complete divided power thickening of $\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{C}_p}$ over $\mathbb{Z}_p$; in fact, this is one ...

Let $A$ be a (unital, associative) $k$-algebra where $k$ is a field. Given a flat deformation of $A$ one gets the deformation class $h$ in the second Hochschild cohomology $HH^2(A)$. Suppose $k$ has ...

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $p \neq 2$, and $V = \oplus V_{n}$ be a graded vector space over $k$. Then, can one compute the graded (counital) cofree cocommutative coalgebra $C(V)$ ...

This question was posed by A Rock and a Hard Place in this discussion, where they mentioned the isomorphisms \begin{align*} \mathrm{L}\,\mathrm{Sym}^n_R(M[1]) &\cong (\mathrm{L}\,{\...
