contents Frobenius splitting, pioneered by Hochster and Roberts in the 1970s and Mehta and Ramanathan in the 1980s, is a technique in characteristic $p$ commutative algebra and algebraic geometry used to control singularities. In the aughts, Knutson showed that Frobenius splittings of a certain type descend through Gröbner degeneration of a certain type, called geometric vertex decomposition. In the present paper, we give a partial converse to Knutson's result. We show that a Frobenius splitting that compatibly splits both link and deletion of a geometric vertex decomposition can, under an additional hypothesis on the form of the splitting, be lifted to a splitting that compatibly splits the original ideal. We discuss an example showing that the additional hypothesis cannot be removed. Our argument uses the relationship between geometric vertex decomposition and Gorenstein liaison developed by Klein and Rajchgot. Additionally, we show that Li's double determinantal varieties defined by maximal minors are Frobenius split.
