We show that the F-signature of an F-finite local ring R of characteristic p >0 exists when R is either the localization of an $\mathbf{N}$-graded ring at its irrelevant ideal or $\mathbf{Q}$-Gorenstein on its punctured spectrum. This…

In this paper we define and study the global Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity and the global F-signature of prime characteristic rings which are not necessarily local. Our techniques are made meaningful by extending many known theorems about…

Given a triple cover p: X --> Y of varieties, we produce a new variety Z and a birational morphism f: Z --> X which is an isomorphism away from the fat-point ramification locus of p. The variety Z has a natural interpretation in terms of…

F-signature is an important numeric invariant of singularities in positive characteristic that can be used to detect strong F-regularity. One would like to have a variant that rather detects F-rationality, and there are two theories that…

We study the differential symmetric signature, an invariant of rings of finite type over a field, introduced in a previous work by the authors in an attempt to find a characteristic-free analogue of the F-signature. We compute the…

Let $k$ be a field, $f \colon X \to Y$ a birational morphism of integral connected schemes proper over $k$ with $Y$ normal, $x \in X(k)$ lying over $y \in Y(k)$. For Tannakian categories $\cC_X \subset \Vect(X)$ and $\cC_Y \subset…

Recently, it has been shown that an infinite succession of classical signature changes (''signature oscillations'') can compactify and stabilize internal dimensions, and simultaneously leads, after a coarse graining type of average…

We survey the 19th century development of the signature of a quadratic form, and the applications in the 20th and 21st century to the topology of manifolds and dynamical systems. Version 2 is an expanded and corrected version of Version 1,…

We give conditions under which a self-dual holomorphic cusp form is determined up to scalar multiplication by the signs of its Fourier coefficients.

Suppose that $f:X\to Y$ is a dominant morphism of 3-folds over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We prove that there exist sequences of blow ups of points and nonsingular curves $\Phi:X_1\to X$ and $\Psi:Y_1\to Y$ such…

We show that the metric structure of morphisms $f\colon Y\to X$ between quasi-smooth compact Berkovich curves over an algebraically closed field admits a finite combinatorial description. In particular, for a large enough skeleton…

Let $X$ be a singular algebraic variety defined over a field $k$, with quotient field $K(X)$. Let $s \geq 2$ be the highest multiplicity of $X$ and $F_s(X)$ the set of points of multiplicity $s$. If $Y\subset F_s(X)$ is a regular center and…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be proper birational varieties, say with only rational double points over a perfect field $k$ of positive characteristic. If $X$ lifts to $W_n(k)$, is it true that $Y$ has the same lifting property? This is true for smooth…

We characterize the signature of piecewise continuously differentiable paths transformed by a polynomial map in terms of the signature of the original path. For this aim, we define recursively an algebra homomorphism between two shuffle…

We consider the signature rank of the units in real multiquadratic fields. When the three quadratic subfields of a real biquadratic field $K$ either (a) all have signature rank 2 (that is, fundamental units of norm $-1$), or (b) all have…

We consider the set of all 2-step recurrences (difference equations) that are given by linear fractional maps. These give birational maps of the plane. We determine the degree growth of these birational maps. We find the all the maps in…

Given varieties $X, Y, W$ and dominant morphisms $\phi:X\to Y$ and $f:X\to W$ such that $f$ is constant on fibres of $\phi$ , we give sufficient conditions to guarantee that $f$ descends to a rational map or a morphism $Y\to W.$ We pay…

It is shown -- using a FRW model with ${\bf S}^3 \times {\bf S}^6$ as spatial sections and a positive cosmological constant -- that classical signature change implies a new compactification mechanism. The internal scale factor is of the…

This paper focuses on a numerical invariant for local rings of characteristic $p$ called $h$-function, that recovers several important invariants, including the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity, $F$-signature, $F$-threshold, and $F$-signature of…

Given smooth, projective, geometrically integral algebraic curves $X$ and $Y$ defined over a number field $K$, assuming that there is a non-constant $K$-morphism $\varphi \colon X \to Y$, we give an upper bound on the minimum of the degrees…
