Title	Global properties of Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity
Abstract	Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity is an invariant of a local ring in characteristic p > 0. I will talk about global properties of this invariant viewed as a function on the spectrum of a ring, and compare the results to the classical theory of multiplicity developed in connection with resolution of singularities.
