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…

We introduce an analogue to Quasi-$F$-splittings, Quasi-$F$-purity, which is definable over rings that are not necessarily $F$-finite. We show that this property is equivalent to being Quasi-$F$-split in the complete local and $F$-finite…

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 present a unified approach to the study of Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity, F-signature, and related limits governed by Frobenius and Cartier linear actions in positive characteristic commutative algebra. We introduce general techniques that…

Let R be a regular ring of characteristic p. Hochster showed that the category of Lyubeznik's F-modules has enough injectives, so that every F-module has an injective resolution in this category. We show that under mild conditions on R, for…

We investigate injective dimension of $F$-finite $F$-modules in characteristic $p$ and holonomic $D$-modules in characteristic 0. One of our main results is the following. If, either $R$ is a regular ring of finite type over an infinite…

We prove that the local etale fundamental group of a strongly $F$-regular singularity is finite (and likewise for the \'etale fundamental group of the complement of a codimension $\geq 2$ set), analogous to results of Xu and…

This paper contains a number of observations on the {$F$-signature} of triples $(R,\Delta,\ba^t)$ introduced in our previous joint work. We first show that the $F$-signature $s(R,\Delta,\ba^t)$ is continuous as a function of $t$, and for…

Polstra showed that the cardinality of the torsion subgroup of the divisor class group of a local strongly $F$-regular ring is finite. We expand upon this result and prove that the reciprocal of the $F$-signature of a local strongly…

We investigate nearly Gorenstein property for a normal graded ring $R = \bigoplus_{n\ge 0}R_n$ finitely generated over a field. For that purpose, we investigate ${K_R}^{-1}$, the inverse of $K_R$ (the canonical module of $R$) and introduce…

Suppose that $R$ is a ring essentially of finite type over a perfect field of characteristic $p > 0$ and that $a \subseteq R$ is an ideal. We prove that the set of $F$-jumping numbers of $\tau_b(R; a^t)$ has no limit points under the…

Suppose that a finite $p$-group $P$ admits a Frobenius group of automorphisms $FH$ with kernel $F$ that is a cyclic $p$-group and with complement $H$. It is proved that if the fixed-point subgroup $C_P(H)$ of the complement is nilpotent of…

The symmetric signature is an invariant of local domains which was recently introduced by Brenner and the first author in an attempt to find a replacement for the $F$-signature in characteristic zero. In the present note we compute the…

A result of Watanabe and Yoshida says that an unmixed local ring of positive characteristic is regular if and only if its Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity is one. We show that, for fixed $p$ (characteristic) and $d$ (dimension), there exist a…

We investigate when a commutative ring spectrum $R$ satisfies a homotopical version of local Gorenstein duality, extending the notion previously studied by Greenlees. In order to do this, we prove an ascent theorem for local Gorenstein…

We prove that a local domain $R$, essentially of finite type over a field, is regular if and only if for every regular alteration $\pi : X \to Spec R$, we have that $R \pi_* \mathcal{O}_X$ has finite (equivalently zero in characteristic…

Let p be a finite regular covering on a 2-sphere with at least three branch points. In this paper, we construct a local signature for the class of fibrations whose general fibers are isomorphic to the covering p.

For each positive prime integer $p$ we construct a standard graded $F$-rational ring $R$, over a field $K$ of characteristic $p$, such that $R\otimes_K\overline{K}$ is not $F$-rational. By localizing we obtain a flat local homomorphism $(R,…

Let $I ~(\ne A)$ be an ideal of a $d$-dimensional Noetherian local ring $A$ with $\operatorname{ht}_AI \ge 2$, containing a non-zerodivisor. The problem of when the ring $I:I=\operatorname{End}_AI$ is Gorenstein is studied, in connection…

Regularity, complete intersection and Gorenstein properties of a local ring can be characterized by homological conditions on the canonical homomorphism into its residue field (Serre, Avramov, Auslander). It is also known that in positive…
