On generalized deformation problems (Q6140053)

Let \((R,\mathfrak{m})\) be a Noetherian local ring, \(I\) an ideal of \(R\) such that \(pd(R/I)<\infty\). If \(R/I\) satisfies a property \(\mathcal{P}\), does it follow that \(R\) satisfies \(\mathcal{P}\)? The author is calling this the generalized deformation problem. First it is shown that the problem is solved affirmatively in the positive prime characteristic case, for F-injectivity in the Cohen-Macaulay case and for F-rationality for excellent rings. In the general case, the problem is solved affirmatively for the properties \((S_k), (R_k)\ \text{ and }\ (S_{k+1})\) and \((R_k)\) under additional assumptions, as well as for the property of being a domain.
