Hilbert-Kunz density function and Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity

Abstract

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 $e_{HK}(R,{\mathbf{m}}^k)-e(R,{\mathbf{m}}^k)/d!$ grows at least as a fixed positive multiple of $k^{d-1}$ as $k\to \infty$.

This paper is one part of the earlier submission, which has been split in two parts. This part will introduce and develop the theory of Hilbert-Kunz Density. This will appear in Transactions of AMS. The second part (which will be another paper) will involve the study of asymptotic behaviour of Hilbert-Kunz multiplicities of powers of an ideal
