Let $X$ be a Gorenstein minimal projective 3-fold with at worst locally factorial terminal singularities. Suppose the canonical map is of fiber type. Denote by $F$ a smooth model of a generic irreducible component in fibers of the canonical…

In this article we survey the basic properties of $p^{-e}$-linear endomorphisms of coherent $\O_X$-modules, i.e. of $\O_X$-linear maps $F_* \sF \to \sG$ where $\sF,\sG$ are $\O_X$-modules and $F$ is the Frobenius of a variety of finite type…

We prove Hochster's small MCM conjecture for three-dimensional complete F-pure rings. We deduce this from a more general criterion, and show that only a weakening of the notion of F-purity is needed, to wit, being weakly F-split. We…

Hochster and Huneke showed that the property of F-regularity deforms for Gorenstein rings, i.e., if (R,m) is a Gorenstein local ring such that R/tR is F-regular for some nonzerodivisor t in m, then R is F-regular. This result was later…

In this paper we study singularities defined by the action of Frobenius in characteristic $p > 0$. We prove results analogous to inversion of adjunction along a center of log canonicity. For example, we show that if $X$ is a Gorenstein…

We study the local geometry of the pullback of a variety via a finite holomorphic map. In particular, we are looking for properties of $V = F^{-1}(W)$ such that if $V$ has the property $A$, then $W$ must have the property $A$. We show that…

Recently, the regular local rings of prime characteristic were characterized in terms of the finiteness of injective dimension of the Frobenius map. We obtain relative versions of this result.

We prove dimension bounds on the jet schemes of the variety of nilpotent matrices (and of related varieties) in positive characteristic. This result has applications to the analytic properties of the Chevalley map that sends a matrix to its…

Let $(R,m)$ be a Noetherian local ring and $I$ an ideal with finite projective dimension. If $R/I$ satisfies some property $\mathcal{P}$, it is natural to ask whether $R$ would also satisfy this property $\mathcal{P}$. This is called the…

In the framework of Berthelot's theory of arithmetic $\mathcal{D}$-modules, we prove that Berthelot's characteristic variety associated with a holonomic $\mathcal{D}$-modules endowed with a Frobenius structure has pure dimension. As an…

Let f be a polynomial over the complex numbers with an isolated singularity at 0. We show that the multiplicity and the log canonical threshold of f at 0 are invariants of the link of f viewed as a contact submanifold of the sphere. This is…

The goal of this paper is to establish a new characterization of quasi-homogeneous isolated singularities of free curves and nearly free curves $C$ in $\mathbb{P}_\mathbb{C}^2$. The criterion will be in terms of a first syzygy matrix…

We consider perturbations of quadratic maps $f_a$ admitting an absolutely continuous invariant probability measure, where $a$ is in a certain positive measure set $\mathcal{A}$ of parameters, and show that in any neighborhood of any such an…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and $S$ a multiplicative subset of $R$. In this paper, we first introduce and study the notions of $s$-pure exact sequences and $s$-absolutely pure modules which extend the classical notions of…

Let $k$ be an infinite finitely generated field of characteristic $p>0$. Fix a separated scheme $X$ smooth, geometrically connected, and of finite type over $k$ and a smooth proper morphism $f:Y\rightarrow X$. The main result of this paper…

We consider a complete metric space $(X,d)$ and a countable number of contractive mappings on $X$, $\mathcal{F}=\{F_i:i\in\mathbb N\}$. We show the existence of a {\em smallest} invariant set (with respect to inclusion) for $\mathcal{F}$.…

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring of prime characteristic $p$. The main purposes of this paper are to show that if the injective envelope $E$ of the simple $R$-module has a structure as a torsion-free left module over the…

We show that if f is a nonzero, noninvertible function on a smooth complex variety X and J_f is the Jacobian ideal of f, then lct(f, J_f^2)>1 if and only if the hypersurface defined by f has rational singularities. Moreover, if this is not…

We establish Grauert--Riemenschneider vanishing for $F$-pure threefolds over a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p>5$. We apply this to prove Steenbrink vanishing for three-dimensional sharply $F$-pure pairs in characteristic $p>5$. As a…

This paper is concerned with ideals in a commutative Noetherian ring $R$ of prime characteristic. The main purpose is to show that the Frobenius closures of certain ideals of $R$ generated by regular sequences exhibit a desirable type of…
