(Definition 2.1 in Bhatt–Scholze.)
Fix a prime . A δ-ring is a pair , where is a commutative ring and is a map of underlying sets such that , ,
and
If is a δ-ring, then the map given by is a ring homomorphism that lifts the Frobenius endomorphism on .
For -torsionfree rings, the above correspondence between δ-structures and lifts of the Frobenius endomorphism on to is bijective. This motivates the identities in the definition of a δ-structure.
perfectoid ring?
The original notion is due to André Joyal:
