Abstract
In this work we define a numerical invariant called $F$-volume. This number extends the definition of $F$-threshold of a pair of ideals $I$ and $J$, $c^J(I)$ to a sequence of ideals $J$, $I_1, \ldots, I_t$. We obtain several properties that emulate those of the $F$-threshold. In particular, the $F$-volume detects $F$-pure complete intersections. In addition, we relate this invariant to the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity.
