A Zariski - Nagata theorem for smooth ℤ-algebras

TLDR
In this article, the authors use p-derivations, a notion due to Buium and Joyal, to define a new kind of differential powers in mixed characteristic, and prove that this new object does coincide with the symbolic powers of prime ideals.
Abstract
Abstract In a polynomial ring over a perfect field, the symbolic powers of a prime ideal can be described via differential operators: a classical result by Zariski and Nagata says that the n-th symbolic power of a given prime ideal consists of the elements that vanish up to order n on the corresponding variety. However, this description fails in mixed characteristic. In this paper, we use p-derivations, a notion due to Buium and Joyal, to define a new kind of differential powers in mixed characteristic, and prove that this new object does coincide with the symbolic powers of prime ideals. This seems to be the first application of p-derivations to commutative algebra.

Uniform Symbolic Topologies in Non-Regular Rings

Robert Walker
TL;DR: In particular, for rational double point surface singularities over C, it was shown in this article that USTP solidarity is impossible for rational regular rings, and for rational toric rings, it is shown that the class of excellent regular rings enjoys class solidarity relative to uniform symbolic topology property.

Symbolic analytic spread: upper bounds and applications

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined the symbolic analytic spread of an ideal in terms of the rate of growth of the minimal number of generators of its symbolic powers, and provided upper bounds for the analytic spread under certain conditions, including the Kodaira dimension of divisors, the arithmetic rank, and the Frobenius complexity.
