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…

A recent continuous family of multiplicity functions on local rings was introduced by Taylor interpolating between Hilbert-Samuel and Hilbert-Kunz multiplicities. The obvious goal is to use this as a tool for deforming results from one to…

Let F be a finite field of characteristic 2 and h be the element x^3+y^3+xyz of F[[x,y,z]]. In an earlier paper we made a precise conjecture as to the values of the colengths of the ideals (x^q,y^q,z^q,h^j) for q a power of 2. We also…

We prove that the generalized Hilbert-Kunz function of a graded module $M$ over a two-dimensional standard graded normal $K$-domain over an algebraically closed field $K$ of prime characteristic $p$ has the form…

In this paper, we initiate a systematic study of the generalized Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity for families of ideals in a Noetherian local ring (R,m) of positive characteristic, and introduce a new asymptotic invariant called the Amao-type…

Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity and F-signature are numerical invariants of commutative rings in positive characteristic that measure severity of singularities: for a regular ring both invariants are equal to one and the converse holds under mild…

A `trinomial hyper surface' is defined in \S 1 below. In this article, I provide a supportive reasoning towards the fact that there can be examples of trinomial hyper surfaces (at least over fields of characteristic 2) for which the…

We prove that if R is a Hensel local ring with infinite residue field k, the natural map H_i(GL(n,R),Z/p) ---> H_i(GL(n,k),Z/p) is an isomorphism for i <=3, p distinct from char(k). This implies rigidity for H_i(GL_n), i <=3, which in turn…

We prove that the Hilbert-Kunz function of the ideal $(I,It)$ of the Rees algebra $\mathcal{R}(I)$, where $I$ is an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal of a $1$-dimensional local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m})$, is a quasi-polynomial in $e$, for large…

This paper develops a theory of equimultiplicity for Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity and uses it to study the behavior of Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity on the Brenner-Monsky hypersurface. A number of applications follows, in particular we show that…

In this paper we prove that the Watanabe-Yoshida conjecture holds up to dimension $7$. Our primary new tool is a function, $\varphi_J\left(R; z^t\right),$ that interpolates between the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicities of a base ring, $R$, and…

In this thesis we compute the Hilbert-Kunz functions of two-dimensional rings of type ADE by using representations of their indecomposable, maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules in terms of matrix factorizations, and as first syzygy modules of…

Let $(R,\mathfrak m)$ be a local ring of characteristic $p>0$ and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. In this note we consider the limit: $\lim_{n\to \infty} \frac{\ell(H^0_{\mathfrak m}(F^n(M)))}{p^{n\dim R}} $ where $F(-)$ is the…

The aim of this manuscript is to discuss the Hilbert-Kunz functions over an excellent local ring regular in codimension one. We study the shape of the Hilbert-Kunz functions of modules and discuss the properties of the coefficient of the…

We improve the homology stability range for the 3rd integral homology of symplectic groups over commutative local rings with infinite residue field. As an application, we show that for local commutative rings containing an infinite field of…

This paper concerns the question of whether a more direct limit can be used to obtain the limit Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity, a possible candidate for a characteristic zero Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity. The main goal is to establish an…

This paper establishes uniform bounds in characteristic $p$ rings which are either F-finite or essentially of finite type over an excellent local ring. These uniform bounds are then used to show that the Hilbert-Kunz length functions and…

Given a commutative local ring $(R,\mathfrak m)$ and an ideal $I$ of $R$, a family of quotients of the Rees algebra $R[It]$ has been recently studied as a unified approach to the Nagata's idealization and the amalgamated duplication and as…

Let R denote a two-dimensional normal standard-graded domain over the algebraic closure K of a finite field of characteristic p, and let I denote a homogeneous primary ideal. We prove that the Hilbert-Kunz function of I has the form =…

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…
