Extendability of differential forms via Cartier operators

Let X be a normal variety over a perfect field of positive characteristic and B a reduced divisor on X . We prove that if the Cartier isomorphism on the log smooth locus of (X,B) extends to the entire X , then (X,B) satisfies the logarithmic extension theorem for differential forms. As an application, we show that the logarithmic extension theorem holds for good quotients of smooth varieties by actions of reduced linearly reductive group schemes. In addition, the logarithmic extension theorem for one-forms holds for singularities of higher codimension under assumptions about Serre’s condition. We also prove that tame quotients satisfy the regular extension theorem.
