Title

Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of fibers and Bertini theorems

Abstract

The Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity is a prime characteristic numerical invariant that detects regularity. In this talk, I discuss a type of Bertini theorem for equidimensional (quasi)projective schemes which says that the measure of singularity given by Hilbert-Kunz does not get worse upon taking general hyperplane sections. The key technical tool is a uniform convergence result for multiplicities in families which is of independent algebraic interest. This is joint work with Rankeya Datta.
