Verschiebung Operator
In mathematics, the Verschiebung or Verschiebung operator ''V'' is a homomorphism between affine commutative group schemes over a field of nonzero characteristic ''p''. For finite group schemes it is the Cartier dual In mathematics, Cartier duality is an analogue of Pontryagin duality for commutative group schemes. It was introduced by . Definition using characters Given any finite flat commutative group scheme ''G'' over ''S'', its Cartier dual is the group o ... of the Frobenius homomorphism. It was introduced by as the shift operator on Witt vectors taking (''a''0, ''a''1, ''a''2, ...) to (0, ''a''0, ''a''1, ...). ("Verschiebung" is German for "shift", but the term "Verschiebung" is often used for this operator even in other languages.) The Verschiebung operator ''V'' and the Frobenius operator ''F'' are related by ''FV'' = ''VF'' = 'p'' where 'p''is the ''p''th power homomorphism of an abelian group scheme.

Homomorphism
In algebra, a homomorphism is a structure-preserving map between two algebraic structures of the same type (such as two groups, two rings, or two vector spaces). The word ''homomorphism'' comes from the Ancient Greek language: () meaning "same" and () meaning "form" or "shape". However, the word was apparently introduced to mathematics due to a (mis)translation of German meaning "similar" to meaning "same". The term "homomorphism" appeared as early as 1892, when it was attributed to the German mathematician Felix Klein (1849–1925). Homomorphisms of vector spaces are also called linear maps, and their study is the subject of linear algebra. The concept of homomorphism has been generalized, under the name of morphism, to many other structures that either do not have an underlying set, or are not algebraic. This generalization is the starting point of category theory. A homomorphism may also be an isomorphism, an endomorphism, an automorphism, etc. (see below). Each of th ...

Group Scheme
In mathematics, a group scheme is a type of object from Algebraic geometry, algebraic geometry equipped with a composition law. Group schemes arise naturally as symmetries of Scheme (mathematics), schemes, and they generalize algebraic groups, in the sense that all algebraic groups have group scheme structure, but group schemes are not necessarily connected, smooth, or defined over a field. This extra generality allows one to study richer infinitesimal structures, and this can help one to understand and answer questions of arithmetic significance. The Category (mathematics), category of group schemes is somewhat better behaved than that of Group variety, group varieties, since all homomorphisms have Kernel (category theory), kernels, and there is a well-behaved deformation theory. Group schemes that are not algebraic groups play a significant role in arithmetic geometry and algebraic topology, since they come up in contexts of Galois representations and moduli problems.

Field (mathematics)
In mathematics, a field is a set on which addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are defined and behave as the corresponding operations on rational and real numbers do. A field is thus a fundamental algebraic structure which is widely used in algebra, number theory, and many other areas of mathematics. The best known fields are the field of rational numbers, the field of real numbers and the field of complex numbers. Many other fields, such as fields of rational functions, algebraic function fields, algebraic number fields, and ''p''-adic fields are commonly used and studied in mathematics, particularly in number theory and algebraic geometry. Most cryptographic protocols rely on finite fields, i.e., fields with finitely many elements. The relation of two fields is expressed by the notion of a field extension. Galois theory, initiated by Évariste Galois in the 1830s, is devoted to understanding the symmetries of field extensions. Among other results, thi ...

Cartier Dual
In mathematics, Cartier duality is an analogue of Pontryagin duality for commutative group schemes. It was introduced by . Definition using characters Given any finite flat commutative group scheme ''G'' over ''S'', its Cartier dual is the group of characters, defined as the functor that takes any ''S''-scheme ''T'' to the abelian group of group scheme homomorphisms from the base change G_T to \mathbf_ and any map of ''S''-schemes to the canonical map of character groups. This functor is representable by a finite flat ''S''-group scheme, and Cartier duality forms an additive involutive antiequivalence from the category of finite flat commutative ''S''-group schemes to itself. If ''G'' is a constant commutative group scheme, then its Cartier dual is the diagonalizable group ''D''(''G''), and vice versa. If ''S'' is affine, then the duality functor is given by the duality of the Hopf algebras of functions. Definition using Hopf algebras A finite commutative group scheme over a fi ...

Frobenius Homomorphism
In commutative algebra and field theory, the Frobenius endomorphism (after Ferdinand Georg Frobenius) is a special endomorphism of commutative rings with prime characteristic , an important class which includes finite fields. The endomorphism maps every element to its -th power. In certain contexts it is an automorphism, but this is not true in general. Definition Let be a commutative ring with prime characteristic (an integral domain of positive characteristic always has prime characteristic, for example). The Frobenius endomorphism ''F'' is defined by :F(r) = r^p for all ''r'' in ''R''. It respects the multiplication of ''R'': :F(rs) = (rs)^p = r^ps^p = F(r)F(s), and is 1 as well. Moreover, it also respects the addition of . The expression can be expanded using the binomial theorem. Because is prime, it divides but not any for ; it therefore will divide the numerator, but not the denominator, of the explicit formula of the binomial coefficients :\frac, if . Ther ...

Springer-Verlag
Springer Science+Business Media, commonly known as Springer, is a German multinational publishing company of books, e-books and peer-reviewed journals in science, humanities, technical and medical (STM) publishing. Originally founded in 1842 in Berlin, it expanded internationally in the 1960s, and through mergers in the 1990s and a sale to venture capitalists it fused with Wolters Kluwer and eventually became part of Springer Nature in 2015. Springer has major offices in Berlin, Heidelberg, Dordrecht, and New York City. History Julius Springer founded Springer-Verlag in Berlin in 1842 and his son Ferdinand Springer grew it from a small firm of 4 employees into Germany's then second largest academic publisher with 65 staff in 1872.Chronology ".
