Using the Frobenius map, we introduce a new invariant for a pair $(R,\a)$ of a ring $R$ and an ideal $\a \subset R$, which we call the F-pure threshold $\mathrm{c}(\a)$ of $\a$, and study its properties. We see that the F-pure threshold…
In this article, we investigate F-pure thresholds of polynomials that are homogeneous under some N-grading, and have an isolated singularity at the origin. We characterize these invariants in terms of the base p expansion of the…
An $R$-algebra $S$ is $R$-solid if there exists a nonzero $R$-linear map $S \rightarrow R$. In characteristic $p$, the study of $F$-singularities such as Frobenius splittings implicitly rely on the $R$-solidity of $R^{1/p}$. Following…
We point out that the usual argument used to prove that $R$ is strongly $F$-regular if and only if $R_{Q}$ is strongly $F$-regular for every prime ideal $Q \in \Spec R$, does not generalize to the case of pairs $(R, \ba^t)$. The author's…
We present a new relation between an invariant of singularities in characteristic zero (the log canonical threshold) and an invariant of singularities defined via the Frobenius morphism in positive characteristic (the F-pure threshold). We…
For a normal F-finite variety $X$ and a boundary divisor $\Delta$ we give a uniform description of an ideal which in characteristic zero yields the multiplier ideal, and in positive characteristic the test ideal of the pair $(X,\Delta)$.…
If $X$ is Frobenius split, then so is its normalization and we explore conditions which imply the converse. To do this, we recall that given an $\mathcal{O}_X$-linear map $\phi : F_* \mathcal{O}_X \to \mathcal{O}_X$, it always extends to a…
We generalize the notions of F-regular and F-pure rings to pairs $(R,\a^t)$ of rings $R$ and ideals $\a \subset R$ with real exponent $t > 0$, and investigate these properties. These ``F-singularities of pairs'' correspond to singularities…
We introduce a new variant of tight closure and give an interpretation of adjoint ideals via this tight closure. As a corollary, we prove that a log pair $(X,\Delta)$ is plt if and only if the modulo $p$ reduction of $(X,\Delta)$ is…
A singularity in characteristic zero is said to be of dense F-pure type if its modulo p reduction is locally F-split for infinitely many p. We prove that if $x \in X$ is an isolated log canonical singularity with $\mu(x \in X) \le 2$ (see…
A conjecture of Hirose, Watanabe, and Yoshida offers a characterization of when a standard graded strongly $F$-regular ring is Gorenstein, in terms of an $F$-pure threshold. We prove this conjecture under the additional hypothesis that the…
Let $X$ be a generic determinantal affine variety over a perfect field of characteristic $p \geq 0$ and $P \subset X$ be a standard prime divisor generator of $\mathrm{Cl}(X) \cong \mathbb{Z}$. We prove that the pair $(X,P)$ is purely…
The weighted dual graph of a two-dimensional normal singularity $(X, x)$ represents the topological nature of the exceptional locus of its minimal log resolution. $(X, x)$ and its graph are said to be taut if the singularity can be uniquely…
In this paper, we study a positive characteristic analogue of the centers of log canonicity of a pair $(R, \Delta)$. We call these analogues centers of $F$-purity. We prove positive characteristic analogues of subadjunction-like results,…
In this article, we consider the conjectured relationship between F-purity and log canonicity for polynomials over the complex numbers. We associate to a collection M of n monomials a rational polytope P contained in [0,1]^n. Using P and…
An excellent ring of prime characteristic for which the Frobenius map is pure is also Frobenius split in many commonly occurring situations in positive characteristic commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. However, using a fundamental…
In this paper, we prove that the generic link of a generic determinantal ring defined by maximal minors is strongly $F$-regular. In the process, we strengthen a result of Chardin and Ulrich in the graded setting. They showed that the…
We show that locally acyclic cluster algebras have (at worst) canonical singularities. In fact, we prove that locally acyclic cluster algebras of positive characteristic are strongly F-regular. In addition, we show that upper cluster…
Let $H$ be a diagonalizable group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of positive characteristic, and $X$ a normal $k$-variety with an $H$-action. Under a mild hypothesis, e.g. $H$ a torus or $X$ quasiprojective, we construct a certain…
In this paper we study the connection between Herzog ideals (i.e., ideals with a squarefree Gr\"obner degeneration) and $F$-singularities. More precisely, we show that, in positive characteristic, homogeneous Herzog ideals define…
