Title:
Finitely presented log-regular rings over rank 1 valuation rings
Abstract:
The theory of log-regular rings, introduced by Kazuya Kato, has become a cornerstone of logarithmic geometry and p-adic Hodge theory. By combing the property of fs-monoids and the commutative algebra of regular local rings, Kato's framework provides a notion of "smoothness" for schemes with singularities, such as semistable reduction models. In this talk, we present an extension of Kato's log-regularity to the setting of finitely presented algebras over a general rank 1 valuation ring O. In addition, we establish the essential properties of this class of rings, specifically proving their normality, Hartogs' lemma, and the rigidity (uniqueness) of the log structure.
