TL;DR
The paper develops a tower-theoretic framework to import perfectoid methods into Noetherian ring theory by defining perfectoid towers and their tilts. It proves that tilting preserves several finiteness and homological invariants and enables a comparison of étale cohomology between mixed and equal characteristic settings, particularly via a tilt-compatible base-change formalism. A key application shows finiteness of the prime-to-$p$ torsion in the divisor class group for local log-regular rings in mixed characteristic, built from a tilt-based analysis and strong $F$-regularity arguments. Overall, the work bridges Noetherian, log-regular, and perfectoid techniques, providing a Noetherian analogue of the tilting correspondence and new finiteness results for invariants of singularities with log structures.
Abstract
To initiate a systematic study on the applications of perfectoid methods to Noetherian rings, we introduce the notions of perfectoid towers and their tilts. We mainly show that the tilting operation preserves several homological invariants and finiteness properties. Using this, we also provide a comparison result on étale cohomology groups under the tilting. As an application, we prove finiteness of the prime-to-$p$-torsion subgroup of the divisor class group of a local log-regular ring that appears in logarithmic geometry in the mixed characteristic case.
