Can you use Chevalley‒Warning to prove existence of a solution?

Let $f_i \in \mathbb{F}_q[X_1,\dots,X_n]$ have degree at most $d$ for each $i \in [|1,r|]$, and assume that the affine scheme $$ X = \operatorname{Spec} \mathbb F_q [x_1,\ldots,x_n]/(f_1, \ldots, f_r) …

Can K[[T_1,...,T_∞]] be embedded into K[[X,Y]]?

The field $K((X))$ has infinite transcendence degree over $K$ (if $K$ is at most countable, this just follows from a cardinality argument). Thus we can find a countable family $(t_i)_{i \geq 1}$ of el …

A short proof for simple connectedness of the projective line

You can apply the following statement to $X = \mathbb{P}^1_K$ and $L = O(1)$ when $K$ is a separably closed field. Let $L$ be a line bundle on a reduced connected scheme $X$ such that $H^{0}( …

Characteristic polynomial of a generic n*n matric

Let $K$ be a field, and $F_K$ be the fraction field of the polynomial ring $R_K$ in $n^2$ indeterminates $X_{11},X_{12},...,X_{nn}$ over $K$. Now set $A = (X_{ij})_{i,j} \in M_n (F_K)$, and let $\chi_ …

A question on symmetric functions

Let $0 \leq m \leq n$ be integers. The group $S_n$ of permutations acts on the ring $\mathbb{Z}[X_1,\dots,X_n]$ by permuting the coordinates, with fixed subring $\mathbb{Z}[\sigma_1,\dots,\sigma_n]$, …

Complete subring of F_p[[X]]

No : just take $A = \mathbb{F}_p$. This is the only counterexample : any complete local sub-algebra $\iota_A \colon A \hookrightarrow {\Bbb F}_p[[X]]$, with $A \neq \mathbb{F}_p$, is noetherian of Kr …

Do tuples of pairwise commuting matrices form a variety?

Let $A$ be a ring and consider the ring generated by $A$ and $kn^2$ indeterminates $X_{lij}$ (with $1 \leq l \leq k $ and $1 \leq i,j \leq n$). If $M_l$ is the matrix $( X_{lij} )_{i,j}$, then one can …

Where can I find Andre's "Cinq exposés sur la désingularisation"?

Many expositions of Popescu's desingularization theorem indicate that an other proof of this theorem can be found in "Cinq exposés sur la désingularisation" by M. Andre, Ecole Polytechnique Feder …

A right adjoint to the truncated Witt functor?

For any ring $A$, let $\mathrm{wEt}_A$ be the category of weakly etale $A$-algebras ; it is a cocomplete category. By a theorem of Van der Kallen, the truncated Witt vector functor $$ W_r : \mathrm{w …

Relative approximation of morphisms

No (in general). Let $A$ be a non-zero ring and let $S = \mathrm{Spec}(A[T]/(T^2))$. Let $M$ be a free $A$-module of infinite rank, viewed as an $A[T]/(T^2)$-module via the section $A[T]/(T^2) \righta …

Emptyness of a projective variety

Let $S$ be some (fixed) subset of $\mathbb{Z} [X_1, \dots , X_n]$ which contains only homogeneous polynomials, and if $F$ is a field, let $X(F)$ be the set of $ x \in P^{n-1}(F)$ such that $f (x) = 0$ …

Ring structrures on R^n

Consider a commutative ring $A= ( \mathbb{R}^n , + , \times) $, where $+$ is the usual one. Assume further that $ \times $ is continuous (with respect to the usual topology). Let $H$ be the set of non …

Properties of d-sequence

Huneke only states an inclusion. But you are right, one gets a slightly stronger statement, with weaker assumptions. Namely, for any ring $R$, and any sequence $x_1,\dots,x_n$ a of elements of $R$, co …

About n-tuple unimodular

An $n$-tuple $F=(F_1,\dots,F_n)$ is "unimodular" iff $\exists x \in k^n, F(x) \neq 0$ in $k$. Thus an equivalent question is: if $F =(F_1,\dots,F_n) \in k[X_1,\dots,X_n]^n$ satisfies $J(F) = 1$ and …

Inverse limit of finite flat morphisms

No (in general). Take $S = \mathrm{Spec}(A)$ and $X_k = \mathrm{Spec}(A[T]/(T^2))$, with affine transition maps given by $T \mapsto f T$ for some $f \in A$. The limit $X$ is the spectrum of $A \oplus …
