Title

Homological properties of the relative Frobenius map

Abstract

Given a noetherian ring of positive characteristic, Kunz proved that the Frobenius endomorphism is flat if and only if the ring is regular. Radu and André established an analogue for homomorphisms of noetherian rings of positive characteristic, proving that such a map regular if and only if the relative Frobenius map is flat. In this talk, we present more general results of this ilk, relating the homological properties of the fibers of a ring homomorphism to those of the relative Frobenius map.
