Computing the $F$-pure Threshold of Flag Varieties

Abstract

We compute the FF-pure threshold of the natural cone over flag varieties in characteristic p>0p>0. Our calculations are mainly focused on flag varieties that are arithmetically Gorenstein, but we offer some results in the non-Gorenstein case. Our goal is to determine the aa-invariant of the cone. As a result, the FF-pure thresholds we find are independent of the characteristic pp, hence one immediately gets the value of the log canonical threshold of flags in characteristic 0 as well.
