On Positive-Characteristic Semi-parametric Local Uniform Reductions of Varieties over Finitely Generated \(\mathbb {Q}\)-Algebras

We present a non-standard proof of the fact that the existence of a local (i.e. restricted to a point) characteristic-zero, semi-parametric lifting for a variety defined by the zero locus of polynomial equations over the integers is equivalent to the existence of a collection of local semi-parametric (positive-characteristic) reductions of such variety for almost all primes (i.e. outside a finite set), and such that there exists a global complexity bounding all the corresponding structures involved. Results of this kind are a fundamental tool for transferring theorems in commutative algebra from a characteristic-zero setting to a positive-characteristic one.
