F-thresholds are defined by Mustata, Takagi and Watanabe in [F-thresholds and Bernstein-Sato polynomials], which are invariants of the pair of ideals on rings of characteristic $p$. In their paper, it is proved F-thresholds equal to jumping…
We prove that the $F$-jumping numbers of the test ideal $\tau(X; \Delta, \ba^t)$ are discrete and rational under the assumptions that $X$ is a normal and $F$-finite variety over a field of positive characteristic $p$, $K_X+\Delta$ is…
We introduce and study invariants of singularities in positive characteristic called F-thresholds. They give an analogue of the jumping coefficients of multiplier ideals in characteristic zero. We discuss the connection between the…
We continue our study of F-thresholds begun in math/0607660 by an in depth analysis of the hypersurface case. We use the D--module theoretic description of generalized test ideals which allows us to show that in any F--finite regular ring…
This paper studies the jumping coefficients of principal ideals of regular local rings. Recently M. Blickle, M. Mustata and K. Smith showed that, when $R$ is of essentially finite type over a field and $F$-finite, bounded intervals contain…
Generalizing previous work of the first author, we introduce and study a characteristic free analog of the $F$-threshold for non-principal ideals, BCM-thresholds. We show that this coincides with the classical $F$-threshold for weakly…
Let $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ be a regular local ring of characteristic $p > 0$. Among all proper ideals $\mathfrak{a}\subseteq R$ with a fixed order of vanishing $\text{ord}_{\mathfrak{m}}(\mathfrak{a})$, we classify the ideals for which the…
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…
The $F$-thresholds are important numerical invariants in prime characteristic, whose existence had been established only under certain assumptions. We show the existence of $F$-thresholds in full generality. We study properties of standard…
In this article, we extend the notion of the $F$-thresholds of ideals to the $F$-thresholds for filtrations of ideals. The existence of $F$-thresholds of filtrations are established for various types of filtrations. Moreover, various…
Blickle, Musta\c{t}\u{a} and Smith proposed two conjectures on the limits of $F$-pure thresholds. One conjecture asks whether or not the limit of a sequence of $F$-pure thresholds of principal ideals on regular local rings of fixed…
For a normal F-finite variety $X$ and a boundary divisor $\Delta$ we give a uniform description of an ideal which in characteristic zero yields the multiplier ideal, and in positive characteristic the test ideal of the pair $(X,\Delta)$.…
The purpose of this note is to revisit the results of arXiv:1407.4324 from a slightly different perspective, outlining how, if the integral closures of a finite set of prime ideals abide the expected convexity patterns, then the existence…
The a-invariant, the F-pure threshold, and the diagonal F-threshold are three important invariants of a graded K-algebra. Hirose, Watanabe, and Yoshida have conjectured relations among these invariants for strongly F-regular rings. In this…
We give examples of two dimensional normal ${\mathbb Q}$-Gorenstein graded domains, where the set of $F$-thresholds of the maximal ideal is not discrete, thus answering a question by Musta\c{t}\u{a}-Takagi-Watanabe. We also prove that, for…
The $F$-pure threshold is the characteristic $p$ counter part of the log canonical threshold in characteristic zero. It is a numerical invariant associated to the singularities of a variety, hence computing its value is important. We give a…
In this paper we show that the sets of $F$-jumping coefficients of ideals form discrete sets in certain graded $F$-finite rings. We do so by giving a criterion based on linear bounds for the growth of the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of…
The $F$-pure threshold is a numerical invariant of prime characteristic singularities, that constitutes an analogue of the log canonical thresholds in characteristic zero. We compute the $F$-pure thresholds of determinantal ideals, i.e., of…
The containment problem for symbolic and ordinary powers of ideals asks for what values of $a$ and $b$ we have $I^{(a)} \subseteq I^b$. Over a regular ring, a result by Ein-Lazarsfeld-Smith, Hochster-Huneke, and Ma-Schwede partially answers…
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.…
