Abstract

This paper proves several results on $F$-invariants of Fermat hypersurfaces, including the proof of an inequality on the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of Fermat quadric hypersurfaces conjectured by Watanabe and Yoshida, the asymptotic behavior of the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity for Fermat cubic hypersurfaces, and a strict inequality of the $F$-signature of a Fermat hypersurface whose degree is equal to its dimension. To address the above problems, this paper introduces a numerical invariant for local rings of characteristic $p$ called multivariate $h$-function. It is a real function of several variables that recovers both the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity and the $F$-signature of hypersurface rings. We prove the above results by developing integral formulas for the $h$-function of hypersurfaces defined by polynomials of the form $ϕ(f_1,\ldots,f_s)$ in terms of the Riemann-Stieltjes integral, where $ϕ$ is a polynomial and $f_i$'s are polynomials in independent sets of variables, and explore how taking derivatives and taking limit of the characteristic interact with the integrals.

On triviality of $\mathbb{A}^2$-forms admitting a nontrivial $\mathbb{G}_a$-action

T. Kambayashi had shown that $\mathbb{A}^2$-forms over separable field extensions are necessarily polynomial rings. However, there exist inseparable $\mathbb{A}^2$-forms which are not necessarily polynomial rings. In this paper, we give a structure theorem for $\mathbb{A}^2$-forms over arbitrary field extensions admitting a nontrivial $\mathbb{G}_a$-action. From this structure theorem we derive some conditions under which an $\mathbb{A}^2$-form becomes trivial. In particular, we prove that over a field $k$, a factorial $\mathbb{A}^2$-form having a $k$-rational point and a non-trivial $\mathbb{G}_a$-action is trivial and we also give examples demonstrating that none of these hypotheses can be discarded. As a consequence of the structure theorem, we obtain a generalization of the Zariski Cancellation Theorem for the affine plane over an arbitrary field.

Symbolic powers of the ideal of$n$ general points in $P^{n-1}$

Problem L of Fröberg--Lundqvist--Oneto--Shapiro asks for the difference between the Hilbert series of ordinary and symbolic powers of the ideal of general points in projective space. We solve this completely for \(n\) general points of \(\PP^{n-1}\). Besides a closed formula for \[ \HS(S/I^m)-\HS(S/I^{(m)}), \] we determine all minimal monomial generators of \(I^{(m)}\), and describe the symbolic Rees algebra. We also show that containment \(I^{(m)}\subseteq I^r\) is detected solely by initial degrees. This gives the exact containment threshold, the Waldschmidt constant \(\walpha\), the resurgence \(\Res\), and the asymptotic resurgence \(\aRes\): \[ \walpha(I)=\frac{n}{n-1}, \qquad \Res(I)=\aRes(I)=\frac{2(n-1)}{n}. \] We also take the first step beyond \(n\) points: for \(n+1\) general points of \(\PP^{n-1}\) --- again a rigid, non-monomial configuration --- we identify the defining quadrics, resolve the case \(n=3\) completely (a complete intersection, with \(J^{(m)}=J^m\) for all \(m\) and resurgence \(1\)), and propose an exact Waldschmidt-constant formula \(\walpha=\frac{n+1}{n-1}\) for all \(n\), verified computationally in every case we could check.
