Differential symmetric signature in high dimension
Abstract
We study the differential symmetric signature, an invariant of rings of finite type over a field, introduced in a previous work by the authors in an attempt to find a characteristic-free analogue of the F-signature. We compute the differential symmetric signature for invariant rings where is a finite small subgroup of and for hypersurface rings of dimension with an isolated singularity. In the first case, we obtain the value , which coincides with the F-signature and generalizes a previous result of the authors for the two-dimensional case. In the second case, following an argument by Bruns, we obtain the value , providing an example of a ring where differential symmetric signature and F-signature are different.
