Gr\"obner deformation and $F$-singularities

For polynomial ideals in positive charachteristic, defining $F$-split rings and admitting a squarefree monomial initial ideal are different notions. In this note we show that, however, there are strong interactions in both directions. Moreover we provide an overview on which $F$-singularities are Gr\"obner deforming. Also, we prove the following characteristic-free statement: if $\mathfrak{p}$ is a height $h$ prime ideal such that $\textrm{in}(\mathfrak{p}^{(h)})$ contains at least one squarefree monomial, then $\textrm{in}(\mathfrak{p})$ is a squarefree monomial ideal.
