Abstract

Let JJ be any ideal in a strongly FF-regular, diagonally FF-split ring RR essentially of finite type over an FF-finite field. We show that Js+tτ(Jsϵ)τ(Jtϵ)J^{s+t} \subseteq \tau(J^{s - \epsilon}) \tau(J^{t-\epsilon}) for all s,t,ϵ>0s, t, \epsilon > 0 for which the formula makes sense. We use this to show a number of novel containments between symbolic and ordinary powers of prime ideals in this setting, which includes all determinantal rings and a large class of toric rings in positive characteristic. In particular, we show that P(2hn)PnP^{(2hn)} \subseteq P^n for all prime ideals PP of height hh in such rings.
