Abstract

For a commutative ring RR, the FF-signature was defined by Huneke and Leuschke \cite{H-L}. It is an invariant that measures the order of the rank of the free direct summand of R(e)R^{(e)}. Here, R(e)R^{(e)} is RR itself, regarded as an RR-module through ee-times Frobenius action FeF^e.In this paper, we show a connection of the F-signature of a graded ring with other invariants. More precisely, for a graded FF-finite Gorenstein ring RR of dimension dd, we give an inequality among the FF-signature s(R)s(R), aa-invariant a(R)a(R) and Poincar\'{e} polynomial P(R,t)P(R,t). s(R)(a(R))d2d1d!limt1(1t)dP(R,t) s(R)\le\frac{(-a(R))^d}{2^{d-1}d!}\lim_{t\rightarrow 1}(1-t)^dP(R,t) Moreover, we show that R(e)R^{(e)} has only one free direct summand for any ee, if and only if RR is FF-pure and a(R)=0a(R)=0. This gives a characterization of such rings.
