F-signature of pairs and the asymptotic behavior of Frobenius splittings
2012
We generalize $F$-signature to pairs $(R,D)$ where $D$ is a Cartier subalgebra on $R$ as defined by the first two authors. In particular, we show the existence and positivity of the $F$-signature for any strongly $F$-regular pair. In one application, we answer an open question of I. Aberbach and F. Enescu by showing that the $F$-splitting ratio of an arbitrary $F$-pure local ring is strictly positive. Furthermore, we derive effective methods for computing the $F$-signature and the $F$-splitting ratio in the spirit of the work of R. Fedder.
F-singularities via alterations
2011
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 $(X,\Delta)$. Our description is in terms of regular alterations over $X$, and one consequence of it is a common characterization of rational singularities (in characteristic zero) and F-rational singularities (in characteristic $p$) by the surjectivity of the trace map $\pi_* \omega_Y \to \omega_X$ for every such alteration $\pi \: Y \to X$. Furthermore, building on work of B. Bhatt, we establish up-to-finite-map versions of Grauert-Riemenscheneider and Nadel/Kawamata-V…
F-signature of pairs: Continuity, p-fractals and minimal log discrepancies
2011
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 principal ideals $\ba$ even convex. We then further deduce, for fixed $t$, that the $F$-signature is lower semi-continuous as a function on $\Spec R$ when $R$ is regular and $\ba$ is principal. We also point out the close relationship of the signature function in this setting to the works of Monsky and Teixeira on Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity and $p$-fractals. Finally, we conclude by showing that the minimal log discrepancy of an arbitrary triple $(R,\Delta,\b…
