Title: Essentially finite generation of valuation rings in terms of classical invariants
Abstract The main goal of this paper is to study some properties of an extension of valuations from classical invariants. More specifically, we consider a valued field and an extension ω of ν to a finite extensionLofK. Then we study when the valuation ring of ω is essentially finitely generated over the valuation ring of ν. We present a necessary condition in terms of classic invariants of the extension by Hagen Knaf and show that in some particular cases, this condition is also sufficient. We also study when the corresponding extension of graded algebras is finitely generated. For this problem we present an equivalent condition (which is weaker than the one for the finite generation of the valuation rings).  more » « less

  1. We consider the finite generation property for cohomology of a finite tensor category C \mathscr {C} , which requires that the self-extension algebra of the unit \operatorname {Ext}^\text {\tiny ∙ }_\mathscr {C}(\mathbf {1},\mathbf {1}) is a finitely generated algebra and that, for each object V V in C \mathscr {C} , the graded extension group \operatorname {Ext}^\text {\tiny ∙ }_\mathscr {C}(\mathbf {1},V) is a finitely generated module over the aforementioned algebra. We prove that this cohomological finiteness property is preserved under duality (with respect to exact module categories) and taking the Drinfeld center, under suitable restrictions on C \mathscr {C} . For example, the stated result holds when C \mathscr {C} is a braided tensor category of odd Frobenius-Perron dimension. By applying our general results, we obtain a number of new examples of finite tensor categories with finitely generated cohomology. In characteristic 0 0 , we show that dynamical quantum groups at roots of unity have finitely generated cohomology. We also provide a new class of examples in finite characteristic which are constructed via infinitesimal group schemes.

  2. Abstract Birational properties of generically finite morphisms of algebraic varieties can be understood locally by a valuation of the function field ofX. In finite extensions of algebraic local rings in characteristic zero algebraic function fields which are dominated by a valuation, there are nice monomial forms of the mapping after blowing up enough, which reflect classical invariants of the valuation. Further, these forms are stable upon suitable further blowing up. In positive characteristic algebraic function fields, it is not always possible to find a monomial form after blowing up along a valuation, even in dimension two. In dimension two and positive characteristic, after enough blowing up, there are stable forms of the mapping which hold upon suitable sequences of blowing up. We give examples showing that even within these stable forms, the forms can vary dramatically (erratically) upon further blowing up. We construct these examples in defect Artin–Schreier extensions which can have any prescribed distance.

  3. Abstract Let $$k$$ be a field, let $$H \subset G$$ be (possibly disconnected) reductive groups over $$k$$, and let $$\Gamma $$ be a finitely generated group. Vinberg and Martin have shown that the induced morphism $$\underline{\operatorname{Hom}}_{k\textrm{-gp}}(\Gamma , H)//H \to \underline{\operatorname{Hom}}_{k\textrm{-gp}}(\Gamma , G)//G$$ is finite. In this note, we generalize this result (with a significantly different proof) by replacing $$k$$ with an arbitrary locally Noetherian scheme, answering a question of Dat. Along the way, we use Bruhat–Tits theory to establish a few apparently new results about integral models of reductive groups over discrete valuation rings.

  4. Abstract We provide an algorithm to approximate a finitely supported discrete measureμby a measureνNcorresponding to a set ofNpoints so that the total variation betweenμandνNhas an upper bound. As a consequence ifμis a (finite or infinitely supported) discrete probability measure on [0, 1]dwith a sufficient decay rate on the weights of each point, thenμcan be approximated byνNwith total variation, and hence star-discrepancy, bounded above by (logN)N1. Our result improves, in the discrete case, recent work by Aistleitner, Bilyk, and Nikolov who show that for any normalized Borel measureμ, there exist finite sets whose star-discrepancy with respect toμis at most ( log N ) d 1 2 N 1 {\left( {\log \,N} \right)^{d - {1 \over 2}}}{N^{ - 1}}. Moreover, we close a gap in the literature for discrepancy in the cased=1 showing both that Lebesgue is indeed the hardest measure to approximate by finite sets and also that all measures without discrete components have the same order of discrepancy as the Lebesgue measure.

  5. We study first passage percolation (FPP) with stationary edge weights on Cayley graphs of finitely generated virtually nilpotent groups. Previous works of Benjamini-Tessera and Cantrell-Furman show that scaling limits of such FPP are given by Carnot-Carathéodory metrics on the associated graded nilpotent Lie group. We show a converse, i.e. that for any Cayley graph of a finitely generated nilpotent group, any Carnot-Carathéodory metric on the associated graded nilpotent Lie group is the scaling limit of some FPP with stationary edge weights on that graph. Moreover, for any Cayley graph of any finitely generated virtually nilpotent group, any conjugation-invariant metric is the scaling limit of some FPP with stationary edge weights on that graph. We also show that the conjugation-invariant condition is also a necessary condition in all cases where scaling limits are known to exist.
