$F$-signature under birational morphisms

Abstract

We study FF-signature under proper birational morphisms π:YX\pi : Y \to X, showing that FF-signature strictly increases for small morphisms or if KYπKX K_Y \geq \pi ^*K_X. In certain cases, we can even show that the FF-signature of YY is at least twice as that of XX. We also provide examples of FF-signature dropping and Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity increasing under birational maps without these hypotheses.
