Witt ring localized

arXiv:2010.15472

Abstract

The rings of -typical Witt vectors are interpreted as spaces of vanishing cycles for some perverse sheaves over a disc. This allows to "localize"\ an isomorphism emerging in Drinfeld's theory of prismatization [Dr], Prop. 3.5.1, namely to express it as "an integral"\ of a standard exact triangle on the disc.
