We study $$F$$ -signature under proper birational morphisms $$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}:Y\rightarrow X$$ , showing that $$F$$ -signature strictly increases for small morphisms or if $$K_{Y}\leqslant \unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}^{\ast }K_{X}$$ . In certain cases, we can even show that the $$F$$ -signature of $$Y$$ is at least twice as that of $$X$$ . We also provide examples of $$F$$ -signature dropping and Hilbert–Kunz multiplicity increasing under birational maps without these hypotheses.

Lower bounds on Hilbert–Kunz multiplicities and maximal F -signatures
Abstract Hilbert–Kunz multiplicity and F-signature are numerical invariants of commutative rings in positive characteristic that measure severity of singularities: for a regular ring both invariants are equal to one and the converse holds under mild assumptions. A natural question is for what singular rings these invariants are closest to one. For Hilbert–Kunz multiplicity this question was first considered by the last two authors and attracted significant attention. In this paper, we study this question, i.e., an upper bound, for F-signature and revisit lower bounds on Hilbert–Kunz multiplicity.

In this article, we work with certain families of ideals called -families in rings of prime characteristic. This family of ideals is present in the theories of tight closure, Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity, and -signature. For each -family of ideals, we attach an Euclidean object called -body, which is analogous to the Newton Okounkov body associated with a graded family of ideals. Using the combinatorial properties of -bodies and algebraic properties of the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity, we establish a Volume = Multiplicity formula for -families of -primary ideals in a Noetherian local ring .more » « less

Abstract In this manuscript, we prove the Bernstein inequality and develop the theory of holonomic $$D$$-modules for rings of invariants of finite groups in characteristic zero, and for strongly $$F$$-regular finitely generated graded algebras with finite $$F$$-representation type in prime characteristic. In each of these cases, the ring itself, its localizations, and its local cohomology modules are holonomic. We also show that holonomic $$D$$-modules, in this context, have finite length, and we prove the existence of Bernstein–Sato polynomials in characteristic zero. We obtain these results using a more general version of Bernstein filtrations.more » « less

Abstract We continue our study of exponent semigroups of rational matrices. Our main result is that the matricial dimension of a numerical semigroup is at most its multiplicity (the least generator), greatly improving upon the previous upper bound (the conductor). For many numerical semigroups, including all symmetric numerical semigroups, our upper bound is tight. Our construction uses combinatorially structured matrices and is parametrised by Kunz coordinates, which are central to enumerative problems in the study of numerical semigroups.more » « less
