An application of Fontaine's monoidal maps to perfectoid towers

Abstract: To connect arithmetic and ring-theoretic properties of rings of mixed characteristic with those of positive characteristic, we introduce monoidal maps for perfectoid towers. Using these maps, we discuss the almost integrality of perfectoid towers and of their tilts. We also show that the towers constructed by F. Andreatta via ramification theory become perfectoid towers, and we apply the monoidal maps to deduce the normality of their small tilts.
