Discreteness and rationality of F-thresholds

Algebraic Geometry 2011-02-18 v2 Commutative Algebra

Abstract

The F-thresholds are characteristic p analogs of the jumping coefficients for multiplier ideals in characteristic zero. In this article we give an alternative description of the F-thresholds of an ideal in a regular and F--finite ring RR. This enables us to settle two open questions posed in [Mustata, Takagi, Watanabe: F-thresholds and Bernstein-Sato polynomials], namely we show that the F-thresholds are rational and discrete.
