Rees algebras and generalized depth-like conditions in prime characteristic
arXiv:2212.11374 · doi:10.1002/mana.202200549
Abstract
In this article we address a question concerning nilpotent Frobenius actions on Rees algebras and associated graded rings. We prove a nilpotent analog of a theorem of Huneke for Cohen-Macaulay singularities. This is achieved by introducing a depth-like invariant which captures as special cases Lyubeznik's F-depth and the generalized F-depth from Maddox-Miller and is related to the generalized depth with respect to an ideal. We also describe several properties of this new invariant and identify a class of regular elements for which weak F-nilpotence deforms.
