For a perfectoid ring R of characteristic 0 with tilt $$R^{\flat }$$
R
♭
, we introduce and study a tilting map $$(-)^{\flat }$$
(

)
♭
from the set of p-adically closed ideals of R to the set of ideals of $$R^{\flat }$$
R
♭
and an untilting map $$(-)^{\sharp }$$
(

from the set of radical ideals of $$R^{\flat }$$
R

to the set of ideals of R. The untilting map $$(-)^{\sharp }$$

is defined purely algebraically and generalizes the analytically defined untilting map on closed radical ideals of a perfectoid Tate ring of characteristic p introduced in the first author’s previous work. We prove that the two maps $$\begin{aligned} J\mapsto J^{\flat }~\text {and}~I\mapsto I^{\sharp } \end{aligned}$$
J

J
♭
and
I
↦
I

define an inclusion-preserving bijection between the set of ideals J of R such that the quotient R/J is perfectoid and the set of $$p^{\flat }$$
p
♭
-adically closed radical ideals of $$R^{\flat }$$
R
♭
, where $$p^{\flat }\in R^{\flat }$$
p

∈
R
♭
corresponds to a compatible system of p-power roots of a unit multiple of p in R. Finally, we prove that the maps $$(-)^{\flat }$$
(
-
)
♭
and $$(-)^{\sharp }$$
(

)
♯
send (closed) prime ideals to prime ideals and thus define a homeomorphism between the subspace of $${{\,\textrm{Spec}\,}}(R)$$
Spec
(
R
)
consisting of prime ideals $$\mathfrak {p}$$
p
of R such that $$R/\mathfrak {p}$$
R
/
p
is perfectoid and the subspace of $${{\,\textrm{Spec}\,}}(R^{\flat })$$
Spec
(
R
♭
)
consisting of $$p^{\flat }$$
p
♭
-adically closed prime ideals of $$R^{\flat }$$
R
♭
. In particular, we obtain a generalization and a new proof of the main result of the first author’s previous work which concerned prime ideals in perfectoid Tate rings.
