Title

F-singularities and Frobenius closure of ideals

Abstract

The canonical Frobenius map defined for any prime characteristic ring can both reveal and obscure an incredible amount of data about the ring. In this talk, we will first discuss a closure operation (Frobenius closure) on ideals defined in terms of the Frobenius map, then outline a similar map (a Frobenius action) on local cohomology which can be used to define a variety of singularities in prime characteristic, and finally discuss connections between the Frobenius closure of parameter ideals and the Frobenius action on local cohomology.
