Abstract
We compute the -signature function of the ample cone of any nontrivial ruled surface over where is an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic. As an application, we construct a Noetherian -finite strongly -regular ring of prime characteristic admitting two maximal ideals at which the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity and -signature measure different singularities; that is, and . Our calculation of the -signature for the Hirzebruch surfaces also corrects an inaccuracy in a preprint by different authors.
