On the behavior of $F$-thresholds with respect to the fibers of blow-ups and $F$-rationality

Ghazaleh FakhriVaighan

TL;DR

The paper proves a general inequality comparing $F$-thresholds of a local ring and its associated graded ring: for an $ rak m$-primary ideal $ rak b$ and $I= ext{gr}_{ rak m}( rak b)$, $A= ext{gr}_{ rak m}(R)$, one has $c^{ rak b}( rak m) \u2264 c^{I}( rak n)$. This degeneration-to-initial-form framework transfers Frobenius numerical data from the graded fiber back to the local ring, yielding corollaries such as $c^{ rak m}( rak m) ^{ rak n}( rak n)$. A key application is that if $ ext{gr}_{ rak m}(R)$ is $F$-rational, then $R$ is $F$-rational, providing descent of $F$-rationality from the graded fiber to the local ring. The results connect Frobenius asymptotics, tight closure, and reductions via superficial elements and Sally’s machine, and complement known flat-descent principles for $F$-rationality. These findings enhance our understanding of how singularity properties behave under blow-ups and degenerations.

Abstract

We establish a general inequality comparing the $F$-thresholds of a local ring and its associated graded ring. As an application, we deduce that the $F$-rationality of the graded ring descends to the local ring.

Key Result

Theorem A

Let $(R, \mathfrak{m}, k)$ be a local $F$-finite ring of prime characteristic $p>0$, and $\mathfrak{b}\subseteq R$ be an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal. Then, where $\mathfrak{n}$ is the maximal homogeneous ideal of the associated graded ring $\mathrm{gr}_{\mathfrak{m}}(R)$ and $I=\mathrm{gr}_\mathfrak{m}(\mathfrak{b})$.
