Absolute Frobenius morphism ($F_X:X\to X$)

The absolute Frobenius morphism of a scheme of characteristic p is the identity on the underlying topological space and raises every local function to its $p$th power. On an affine chart $\mathrm{Spec}A$ it is induced contravariantly by the Frobenius endomorphism $A\to A$, $a\mapsto a^p$. It need not be an isomorphism of schemes, even when it acts invertibly on global sections.
