چکیده
Caution: These polynomials are referred to as w0, w1, w2, ... in Sections 5-8 of [1]. However, beginning with Section 9 of [1], Hazewinkel uses the notations w1, w2, w3, ... for some different polynomials (the so-called big Witt polynomials, defined by formula (9.25) in [1]), which are not the same as our polynomials w1, w2, w3, ... (though they are related to them: in fact, the polynomial wk that we have just defined here is the same as the polynomial which is called wpk in [1] from Section 9 on, up to a change of variables; however, the polynomial which is called wk from in [1] from Section 9 on is totally different and has nothing to do with our wk).

Boolean Witt vectors and an integral Edrei–Thoma theorem
We give explicit descriptions of the Witt vectors of the Boolean semiring. This includes the big Witt vectors, the Schur Witt vectors, and the p-typical Witt vectors. We use this to determine the Schur Witt vectors of the natural numbers, which can be viewed as the classification of totally positive power series with integral coefficients, first observed by Davydov. We also determine the cardin...
متن کاملThe basic geometry of Witt vectors, IThe affine case
We give a concrete description of the category of étale algebras over the ring of Witt vectors of a given finite length with entries in an arbitrary ring. We do this not only for the classical p-typical and big Witt vector functors but also for certain analogues over arbitrary local and global fields. The basic theory of these generalized Witt vectors is developed from the point of view of comm...

متن کاملOn the Witt Vector Frobenius
We study the kernel and cokernel of the Frobenius map on the p-typical Witt vectors of a commutative ring, not necessarily of characteristic p. We give many equivalent conditions to surjectivity of the Frobenus map on both finite and infinite length Witt vectors. In particular, surjectivity on finite Witt vectors turns out to be stable under certain integral extensions; this provides a clean fo...
متن کاملThe Basic Geometry of Witt Vectors
This is a foundational account of the étale topology of generalized Witt vectors and of related constructions. The theory of the usual, “p-typical” Witt vectors of p-adic schemes of finite type is already reasonably well developed. The main point here is to generalize this theory in two different ways. We allow not just p-typical Witt vectors but also, for example, those taken with respect to a...
متن کاملWitt vectors, semirings, and total positivity
We extend the big and p-typical Witt vector functors from commutative rings to commutative semirings. In the case of the big Witt vectors, this is a repackaging of some standard facts about monomial and Schur positivity in the combinatorics of symmetric functions. In the p-typical case, it uses positivity with respect to an apparently new basis of the p-typical symmetric functions. We also give...
