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 in a broad combinatorial setting, namely for finitely generated semipositive cancellative reduced binoids, that the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity is a rational number independent of the characteristic.

We develop Hilbert-Kunz theory in a combinatorial setting namely for binoids. We show that the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity for commutative, finitely generated, semipositive, cancellative and reduced binoids exists and is a rational number.…

In this article, I give an iterative closed form formula for the Hilbert-Kunz function for any binomial hypersurface in general, over any feild of arbitrary positive characteristic. I prove that the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity associated to…

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…

We study the behavior of the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of powers of an ideal in a local ring. In dimension two, we provide answers to some problems raised by Smirnov, and give a criterion to answer one of his questions in terms of a…

We give bounds for the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of the product of two ideals, and we characterize the equality in terms of the tight closures of the ideals. Connections are drawn with $*$-spread and with ordinary length calculations.

Suppose that h in F[x,y,z], char F=2, defines a nodal cubic. In earlier papers we made a precise conjecture as to the Hilbert-Kunz functions attached to the powers of h. Assuming this conjecture we showed that a class of characteristic 2…

For a pair $(M, I)$, where $M$ is finitely generated graded module over a standard graded ring $R$ of dimension $d$, and $I$ is a graded ideal with $\ell(R/I) < \infty$, we introduce a new invariant $HKd(M, I)$ called the {\em Hilbert-Kunz…

We show that the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicities of the reductions to positive characteristics of an irreducible projective curve in characteristic 0 have a well-defined limit as the characteristic tends to infinity.

We study Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of the powers of an ideal and establish existence of the second coefficient at the full level of generality, thus extending a recent result of Trivedi. We describe the second coefficient as the limit of…

The main purpose of this paper is to provide formulas for the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of fiber product rings and Nagata idealizations. We give explicit formulas for the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of a fiber product $R \times_T S$, where…

We compute the $F$-signature function of the ample cone of any nontrivial ruled surface over $\mathbb{P}^1_k$ where $k$ is an algebraically closed field of prime characteristic. As an application, we construct a Noetherian $F$-finite…

Let $(R,\m)$ be a formally unmixed local ring of positive prime characteristic and dimension $d$. We examine the implications of having small Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity (i.e., close to 1). In particular, we show that if $R$ is not regular,…

We show that the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of the d-dimensional non-degenerate quadric hypersurface of characteristic p > 2 is a rational function of p composed from the Ehrhart polynomials of integer polytopes. In consequence, we prove…

Let $R$ be a local ring of characteristic $p>0$ which is $F$-finite and has perfect residue field. We compute the generalized Hilbert-Kunz invariant for certain modules over several classes of rings: hypersurfaces of finite representation…
