A Kunz-type characterization of regular rings via alterations
Abstract
We prove that a local domain R, essentially of finite type over a field, is regular if and only if for every regular alteration π : X Spec R, we have that R π* OX has finite (equivalently zero in characteristic zero) projective dimension.
