Abstract

Let (R,Δ+D)(R,\Delta+D) be a log Q\mathbb{Q}-Gorenstein pair where RR is a Noetherian, FF-finite, normal, local domain of characteristic p>0p > 0, Δ\Delta is an effective Q\mathbb{Q}-divisor and DD is an integral Q\mathbb{Q}-Cartier divisor. We show that the left derivative of the FF-signature function s(R,Δ+tD)s(R,\Delta + tD) at t=1t = 1 is equal to s(OD,DiffD(Δ))-s(\mathcal{O}_D, \mathrm{Diff}_D(\Delta)). This equality is interpreted as a quantitative form of inversion of adjunction for strong FF-regularity. As an immediate corollary, we obtain the inequality s(R,Δ)s(OD,DiffD(Δ))s(R,\Delta) \geq s(\mathcal{O}_D, \mathrm{Diff}_D(\Delta)). We also discuss the implications of our result for the conjectured connection between the FF-signature and the normalized volume.
