This is a self-contained purely algebraic treatment of desingularization of fields of fractions $mathbf{L}:=Q(mathbf{A})$ of $d$-dimensional domains of the form [mathbf{A}:=bar{mathbf{F}}[underline{x}]/langle b(underline{x})rangle] with a purely algebraic objective of uniquely describing $d$-dimensional valuations in terms of $d$ explicit (independent) local parameters and $1$ (dependent) local unit, for arbitrary dimension $d$ and arbitrary characteristic $p$. The desingularization will be given as a rooted tree with nodes labelled by domains $mathbf{A}_k$ (all with field of fractions $Q(mathbf{A}_k)=mathbf{L}$), sets $EQ_k$ and $INEQ_k$ of equality constraints and inequality constraints, and birational change-of-variables maps on $mathbf{L}$. The approach is based on d-dimensional discrete valuations and local monomial orderings to emphasize formal Laurent series expansions in $d$ independent variables. It is non-standard in its notation and perspective.
We prove that, analogous to the HK density function, (used for studying the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity, the leading coefficient of the HK function), there exists a $beta$-density function $g_{R, {bf m}}:[0,infty)longrightarrow {mathbb R}$, where $(R, {bf m})$ is the homogeneous coordinate ring associated to the toric pair $(X, D)$, such that $$int_0^{infty}g_{R, {bf m}}(x)dx = beta(R, {bf m}),$$ where $beta(R, {bf m})$ is the second coefficient of the Hilbert-Kunz function for $(R, {bf m})$, as constructed by Huneke-McDermott-Monsky. Moreover we prove, (1) the function $g_{R, {bf m}}:[0, infty)longrightarrow {mathbb R}$ is compactly supported and is continuous except at finitely many points, (2) the function $g_{R, {bf m}}$ is multiplicative for the Segre products with the expression involving the first two coefficients of the Hilbert polynomials of the rings involved. Here we also prove and use a result (which is a refined version of a result by Henk-Linke) on the boundedness of the coefficients of rational Ehrhart quasi-polynomials of convex rational polytopes.
We prove the existence of HK density function for a pair $(R, I)$, where $R$ is a ${mathbb N}$-graded domain of finite type over a perfect field and $Isubset R$ is a graded ideal of finite colength. This generalizes our earlier result where one proves the existence of such a function for a pair $(R, I)$, where, in addition $R$ is standard graded. As one of the consequences we show that if $G$ is a finite group scheme acting linearly on a polynomial ring $R$ of dimension $d$ then the HK density function $f_{R^G, {bf m}_G}$, of the pair $(R^G, {bf m}_G)$, is a piecewise polynomial function of degree $d-1$. We also compute the HK density functions for $(R^G, {bf m}_G)$, where $Gsubset SL_2(k)$ is a finite group acting linearly on the ring $k[X, Y]$.
Using Macaulays correspondence we study the family of Artinian Gorenstein local algebras with fixed symmetric Hilbert function decomposition. As an application we give a new lower bound for cactus varieties of the third Veronese embedding. We discuss the case of cubic surfaces, where interesting phenomena occur.
For a pair $(M, I)$, where $M$ is finitely generated graded module over a standard graded ring $R$ of dimension $d$, and $I$ is a graded ideal with $ell(R/I) < infty$, we introduce a new invariant $HKd(M, I)$ called the {em Hilbert-Kunz density function}. In Theorem 1.1, we relate this to the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity $e_{HK}(M,I)$ by an integral formula. We prove that the Hilbert-Kunz density function is additive. Moreover it satisfies a multiplicative formula for a Segre product of rings. This gives a formula for $e_{HK}$ of the Segre product of rings in terms of the HKd of the rings involved. As a corollary, $e_{HK}$ of the Segre product of any finite number of Projective curves is a rational number. As an another application we see that $e_{HK}(R, {bf m}^k) - e(R, {bf m}^k)/d!$ grows at least as a fixed positive multiple of $k^{d-1}$ as $kto infty$.
We study the complete intersection property and the algebraic invariants (index of regularity, degree) of vanishing ideals on degenerate tori over finite fields. We establish a correspondence between vanishing ideals and toric ideals associated to numerical semigroups. This correspondence is shown to preserve the complete intersection property, and allows us to use some available algorithms to determine whether a given vanishing ideal is a complete intersection. We give formulae for the degree, and for the index of regularity of a complete intersection in terms of the Frobenius number and the generators of a numerical semigroup.
