Relative big polynomial rings

Abstract: Let K be the field of Laurent series with complex coefficients, let mathcalR be the inverse limit of the standard-graded polynomial rings K[x1,ldots,xn], and let mathcalRflat be the subring of mathcalR consisting of elements with bounded denominators. In previous joint work with Erman and Sam, we showed that mathcalR and mathcalRflat (and many similarly defined rings) are abstractly polynomial rings, and used this to give new proofs of Stillman's conjecture. In this paper, we prove the complementary result that mathcalR is a polynomial algebra over mathcalRflat.


In the paper under review, the author considers the domain \(A=\mathbb{C}t\), of formal power series with complex coefficients, and its quotient field denoted \(K\). Let \(\mathcal{R}\) be the inverse limit of the standard-graded polynomial rings \(K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]\), \(\mathcal{R}^+\) the subring of \(\mathcal{R}\) of elements with coefficients in \(A\), \(\mathcal{R}^0\) the subring of \(\mathcal{R}\) of elements with coefficients in \(\mathbb{C}\) and \(\mathcal{R}^b=\mathcal{R}^+[1/t]\). The main result of this paper is the following theorem: The ring \(\mathcal{R}\) is a polynomial algebra over \(\mathcal{R}^b\). More precisely, the map \(\mathcal{R}_+^b/(\mathcal{R}_+^b)^2\longrightarrow\mathcal{R}_+/\mathcal{R}_+^2\) is injective. Suppose that \(\{\xi_i\}_{i\in I}\) are homogeneous elements of \(\mathcal{R}_+\) whose images form a basis of \(\mathcal{R}_+/(\mathcal{R}_+^b+\mathcal{R}_+^2)\). Then the \(\mathcal{R}^b-\)algebra homomorphism \(\mathcal{R}^b[X_i]_{i\in I}\longrightarrow\mathcal{R}\) mapping \(X_i\) to \(\xi_i\) is an isomorphism of graded \(\mathcal{R}^b-\)algebras.
