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.

Suppose R is a Noetherian local ring with prime characteristic p>0. In this article, we show the existence of a local numerical invariant, called the F-signature, which roughly characterizes the asymptotic growth of the number of splittings…

The $F$-signature of a local ring of prime characteristic is a numerical invariant that detects many interesting properties. For example, this invariant detects (non)singularity and strong $F$-regularity. However, it is very difficult to…

Let (R,m) -> (S,n) be a flat local homomorphism of excellent local rings. We investigate the conditions under which the weak or strong F-regularity of R passes to S. We show that is suffices that the closed fiber S/mS be Gorenstein and…

We define the dual F-signature of modules, which is equivalent to the F-signature if the module is the base ring. By using this invariant, We give characterizations of regular, F-regular, F-rational, and Gorenstein singularities.

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…

An integral domain R is said to be a splinter if it is a direct summand, as an R-module, of every module-finite extension ring. Hochster's direct summand conjecture is precisely the conjecture that every regular local ring is a splinter. An…

For a commutative ring $R$, the $F$-signature was defined by Huneke and Leuschke \cite{H-L}. It is an invariant that measures the order of the rank of the free direct summand of $R^{(e)}$. Here, $R^{(e)}$ is $R$ itself, regarded as an…

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 $S=K[x_1,...,x_n]$ 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…

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 present a condition on a local Cohen-Macaulay F-injective ring of positive characteristic $p > 2$ which implies that its top local cohomology module with support in the maximal ideal has finitely many Frobenius compatible…

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…

F-signature is an important numeric invariant of singularities in positive characteristic that can be used to detect strong F-regularity. One would like to have a variant that rather detects F-rationality, and there are two theories that…

We find sufficient conditions which imply equality of the finitistic test ideal and test ideal in rings of prime characteristic. Utilizing recent progress from the prime characteristic minimal model program we equate the notions of…

We show in this paper that the Briancon-Skoda theorem holds for all ideals in F-rational rings of positive prime characteristic, and also in rings with rational singularities which are of finite type over a field of characteristic 0.…

We establish a criterion for the strong $F$-regularity of a (non-Gorenstein) Cohen-Macaulay reduced complete local ring of dimension at least $2$, containing a perfect field of prime characteristic $p$. We also describe an explicit…

We provide a natural criterion which implies equality of the finitistic test ideal and test ideal in local rings of prime characteristic. Most notably, we show that the criterion is met by every local weakly $F$-regular ring whose…

Carvajal-Rojas, Schwede and Tucker asked whether the mod $p$ reductions of a complex klt type singularity have uniformly positive $F$-signature for almost all primes $p$. In this paper, we give an affirmative answer to this conjecture in…

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…
