5 Background

6 Let D 1 : CRing! CRing be the functor A 7! A[t]/(t 2 ). A derivation A! A is the same as a section of D 1 (A)! A. Generalize to ring schemes: R : CRing! CRing with natural transformations R! Id. An action of R on a ring C is a section of R(C)! C

7 Functor Operation D 1 W p,1 Derivation p-derivation A 7! A A Ring Endo W big witt -rings

8 (Borger-Weiland 00s, Tall-Wraith 70s) When R is an a ne ring scheme R =Spec(Q) there exists a left adjoint CRing(Q A, B) =CRing(A, R(B)). The bifunctor is called the composition product For X a scheme define functor of jets J Q (X) :=X(R( )) : CRing! Set If R a comonad, then call it a functor of arcs. When functor representable, we call it a jet or arc space.

9 Jet Functor J Q (X)(A) :=X(R(A))

10 O O O O There exists a relative version of this construction as well. For a fixed action Q C! C on a base we let J Q (X/C, ) denote the relativized version. Prolongations Q A / B A s 1 / R(B) alg map R( alg map ) Q C / C C s 0 / R(C)

11 O O / O alg map A C s 1 s 0 / / R(B) R( alg map ) R(C) Spec R(B) Spec(s 1) X Spec R(C) Spec(s 0) / Spec(C) prolongation pt Relative Jet Functors: J Q (X/C, ) J Q (X/C, )(B) ={P 2 X(R(B)) : prolongation pt }

12 J Q (X/C, ) Notations. J n (X/C, D) = nth order classical jet spaces J 1 (X/C, D) = classical arc spaces J p,r (X/C, ) =J p,r (X) truncated p-jet spaces J p,1 (X/C, ) =J p,1 (X) p-arc spaces J b p,r (X) and J b p,1 (X), Buium s p-formally completed version

13 Example. J 1 (X/C, D) J 1 (X/C) = = classical first order tangent space ( T X/C, twisted T X/C, D = trivial D = not trivial

14 Let X/C[[t]] be defined by xy = t. Consider C[[t]] as having a trivial derivation. The equations for J 1 (X/C[[t]]) Spec C[[t]][x, y, x 0 y 0 ] are xy = t and x 0 y + y 0 x = 0. Let X/C[[t]] be defined by xy = t. Consider C[[t]] with its nontrivial derivation D = d/dt. The equations of J 1 (X/C[[t]]) are then xy t = 0 ẋy + xẏ 1 = 0 ẍy +2ẋẏ + xÿ = 0.

15 Let f(x, y) =xy t. Then we look to satisfy the equation 0=(x 0 + x 1 " + )(y 0 + y 1 " + ) exp(t) where exp(t) =t + " given the system of equations x 0 y 0 t = 0 x 0 y 1 + y 0 x 1 1 = 0 x 0 y 2 +2x 1 y 1 + x 2 y 0 = 0.

16 Special fiber of J p,1 (X) example: Let X =SpecR[x, y]/(xy p). Let x =(x 0,x 1,...) y =(y 0,y 1,...) p =(0, 1, 0,...) Multiplication by p acts by translating to the right and pth powering x 0 y 0 = 0 x p 0 y 1 + y p 0 x 1 = 1 m 2 = 0.. and one can trivially see that Gr 1 (X) =V (x 0 ) [ V (y 0 ).

17 Suppose now we are working ever R. Then p is not p 1 in a ring where we replace everything by the witt vectors exp p (p) =(p, 1 p p 1,...) which this means that m i (x, y) =exp p (p) i whose reduction modulo p recover the previous ones. It is nontrivial to see that this scheme is irreducible.

18 example: y 2 = x 2 (x +(3x2p +2x p )ẋ + p(3x p + 1)ẋ 2 + p 2 ẋ 4 =2y p ẏ + = f(xp,y p ) p f(x, y) p 1 1 (0, 0) ẏ2 =ẋ 2 (1 + pẋ)

19 For the rest of the talk assume X is a ne. (this deals with representability issues) Moosa-Scanlon, Bhatt-Lurie, Borger
