In this note, we use estimates given in the recent preprint [Her11b]to deduce a formula for the F-pure threshold of a binomial hypersurface over a field of prime characteristic. These formulas are given in terms of the associated splitting…
The signature(s) of the curvature of the zero set V of a free (non-commutative) polynomial is defined as the number of positive and negative eigenvalues of the non-commutative second fundamental form on V determined by p. With some natural…
Let $V$ be a vector space over a finite field $k$. We give a condition on a subset $A \subset V$ that allows for a local criterion for checking when a function $f:A \to k$ is a restriction of a polynomial function of degree $<m$ on $V$. In…
We introduce and study invariants of singularities in positive characteristic called F-thresholds. They give an analogue of the jumping coefficients of multiplier ideals in characteristic zero. We discuss the connection between the…
The notion of $F$-signature is defined by C. Huneke and G. Leuschke and this numerical invariant characterizes some singularities. This notion is extended to finitely generated modules and called dual $F$-signature. In this paper, we…
We show that the F-signature of a local ring of characteristic p, defined by Huneke and Leuschke, is positive if and only if the ring is strongly F-regular.
We generalize $F$-signature to pairs $(R,D)$ where $D$ is a Cartier subalgebra on $R$ as defined by the first two authors. In particular, we show the existence and positivity of the $F$-signature for any strongly $F$-regular pair. In one…
In this paper we show that if an entire function $f(z_1,z_2)$ of two (or more) complex variables verifies $\norm{f(z_1,z_2)}\leq K(\norm{P(z_1,z_2)})$, where $P(z_1,z_2)$ is a polynomial that is not a power in $\CC[[z_1,z_2]]$, and $K$ is…
This paper contains a number of observations on the {$F$-signature} of triples $(R,\Delta,\ba^t)$ introduced in our previous joint work. We first show that the $F$-signature $s(R,\Delta,\ba^t)$ is continuous as a function of $t$, and for…
We present a unified approach to the study of Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity, F-signature, and related limits governed by Frobenius and Cartier linear actions in positive characteristic commutative algebra. We introduce general techniques that…
The symmetric signature is an invariant of local domains which was recently introduced by Brenner and the first author in an attempt to find a replacement for the $F$-signature in characteristic zero. In the present note we compute the…
It is shown that if $\gamma$ is a path of finite $p$ variation ($1\leq p< 2$) in a euclidean vector space and $f,g,h$ are Lipschitz functions on the trace of $\gamma$ then $s\mapsto F(s)=\int_\gamma f^sg dh$ defines an entire holomorphic…
In this paper, we relate the set of asymptotic critical values of a polynomial function $f$ with the set of discontinuity of two functions, the multivalued function which associate to each value $t$ the set of tangent directions at infinity…
We prove that the local etale fundamental group of a strongly $F$-regular singularity is finite (and likewise for the \'etale fundamental group of the complement of a codimension $\geq 2$ set), analogous to results of Xu and…
Given an irreducible hypersurface singularity of dimension $d$ (defined by a polynomial $f\in K[[ {\bf x} ]][z]$) and the projection to the affine space defined by $K[[ {\bf x} ]]$, we construct an invariant which detects whether the…
It is known that a certain invariant subring $R$ has finite $F$-representation type. Thus, we can write the $R$-module ${}^eR$ as a finite direct sum of finitely many $R$-modules. In such a decomposition of ${}^eR$, we pay attention to the…
We show that if a sequence of dense graphs has the property that for every fixed graph F, the density of copies of F in these graphs tends to a limit, then there is a natural ``limit object'', namely a symmetric measurable 2-variable…
We prove that the F-signature of an affine semigroup ring of positive characteristic is always a rational number, and describe a method for computing this number. We use this method to determine the F-signature of Segre products of…
The nullity of a graph is the multiplicity of the eigenvalues zero in its spectrum. A signed graph is a graph with a sign attached to each of its edges. In this paper, we obtain the coefficient theorem of the characteristic polynomial of a…
Let $S=K[x_1,...,x_n]$ or $S=K[[x_1,...,x_n]]$ be either a polynomial or a formal power series ring in a finite number of variables over a field $K$ of characteristic $p > 0$ with $[K:K^p] < \infty$. Let $R$ be the hypersurface $S/fS$ where…
