Ultra-test ideals in rings with finitely generated anti-canonical algebras

TL;DR
The paper addresses adjoint ideals in characteristic zero without requiring $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein hypotheses by exploiting ultra-Frobenius methods. It develops divisorial ultra-test ideals and proves that, when the anti-canonical algebra $\bigoplus_{i\ge 0} R(-i(K_R+D))$ is finitely generated, these ultra-test ideals coincide with adjoint ideals along $D$, providing a new route to multiplier-like behavior in non-$\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein settings. A key application is that adjoint ideals descend under pure morphisms, yielding inclusions that generalize Zhuang’s result and extend TY24 to broader contexts, including lc/klt-type phenomena. The work thus connects nonstandard analysis techniques with tight closure tools to unify adjoint-ideal theory across characteristic $p$ reductions and characteristic zero, broadening the scope of singularity transfer phenomena under pure morphisms.
Abstract
When anti-canonical rings are finitely generated, we give a characterization of adjoint ideals using ultra-Frobenii, a characteristic zero analogue of Frobenius morphisms. This characterization enables us to give an alternative proof of a result of Zhuang, which states that if a ring is of klt type, then so is any of its pure subrings.
