Abstract

Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring of prime characteristic p. The main goal of this paper is to study in some detail when {pSpec(R):FEp is finitely generated as a ring over its degree zero piece} is an open set in the Zariski topology, where FEp denotes the Frobenius algebra attached to the injective hull of the residue field of Rp. We show that this is true when R is a Stanley–Reisner ring; moreover, in this case, we explicitly compute its closed complement, providing an algorithmic method for doing so.
