On the discreteness and rationality of F-jumping coefficients
Abstract
This paper studies the jumping coefficients of principal ideals of regular local rings. Recently M. Blickle, M. Mustata and K. Smith showed that, when is of essentially finite type over a field and -finite, bounded intervals contain finitely many jumping coefficients and that those are rational. In a later paper they extended these results to principal ideals of -finite complete regular local rings. The aim of this paper is to extend these results on the discreteness and rationality of jumping coefficients to principal ideals of arbitrary (i.e. not necessarily -finite) excellent regular local rings containing fields of positive characteristic. Our proof uses a very different method: we do not use -modules and instead we analyze the modules of nilpotents elements in the injective hull or under some non-standard Frobenius actions. This new method undoubtedly holds a potential for more applications.
