Canonical Big Cohen-Macaulay algebras and rational singularities
Abstract
We give a canonical construction of a balanced big Cohen-Macaulay algebra for a domain of finite type over C by taking ultraproducts of absolute integral closures in positive characteristic. This yields a new tight closure characterization of rational singularities in characteristic zero.
