The absolute Frobenius of a scheme #
Let p be a prime and X a scheme over 𝔽_p, that is, a scheme with p = 0 in Γ(X, ⊤). The
absolute Frobenius F_X : X ⟶ X is the identity on the underlying topological space and the
p-th power map s ↦ s ^ p on every ring of sections. It is a morphism of locally ringed spaces
because s ^ p is a unit of a local ring only when s is.
Every morphism of schemes over 𝔽_p commutes with the absolute Frobenius
(AlgebraicGeometry.Scheme.frobenius_naturality): unlike the relative Frobenius, it is not a
morphism over the base, and it is the input from which the relative Frobenius
F_{X/S} : X ⟶ X ×_{S, F_S} S of a scheme over S is built in
TauCeti.AlgebraicGeometry.Frobenius.Relative. On an affine scheme Spec R it is induced by the
p-th power map of R (AlgebraicGeometry.Scheme.Spec_map_powRingHom).
The hypothesis is stated on global sections, as (p : Γ(X, ⊤)) = 0, rather than through an
ExpChar instance: the ring of sections over the empty open is the zero ring, which has no
exponential characteristic p, so the p-th power map on sections is TauCeti.powRingHom.
