Abstract

For a pair (R,I)(R, I), where RR is a standard graded domain of dimension dd over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 00 and II is a graded ideal of finite colength, we prove that the existence of limpeHK(Rp,Ip)\lim_{p\to \infty}e_{HK}(R_p, I_p) is equivalent, for any fixed md1m\geq d-1, to the existence of limp(Rp/Ip[pm])/pmd\lim_{p\to \infty}\ell(R_p/I_p^{[p^m]})/p^{md}. This we get as a consequence of Theorem 1.1: As pp\rightarrow \infty , the convergence of the HK density function f(Rp,Ip)f{(R_p, I_p)} is equivalent to the convergence of the truncated HK density functions fm(Rp,Ip)f_m(R_p, I_p) (in LL^{\infty} norm) of the {\it mod pp reductions} (Rp,Ip)(R_p, I_p), for any fixed md1m\geq d-1. In particular, to define the HK density function f(R,I)f^{\infty}(R, I) in characteristic 0, it is enough to prove the existence of limpfm(Rp,Ip)\lim_{p\to \infty} f_m(R_p, I_p), for any fixed md1m\geq d-1. This allows us to prove the existence of eHK(R,I)e_{HK}^{\infty}(R, I) in many new cases, {\em e.g.}, when \mboxProj R\mbox{Proj~R} is a Segre product of curves, for example.
