Growth of primary decompositions of Frobenius powers of ideals (Q1014576)

Let \(R\) be a noetherian commutative ring of prime characteristic \(p\). Let \(I\) be an ideal of \(R\). \ For each \(q=p^{e}\) the \(q\)th Frobenius power of \(I\), denoted by \(I^{[q]}\), is the ideal of \(R\) generated by the \(q\)th powers of generators of \(I\). The Frobenius powers of \(I\) have linear growth of primary decompositions if there exist a number \(c\) such that, for each \( q=p^{e}\), there is a primary decomposition \[ I^{[q]}=Q_{1}\cap Q_{2}\cdots \cap Q_{r} \] with the property that \(\left( \sqrt{Q_{i}}\right) ^{c\left[ q\right] }\subseteq Q_{i}\) for all \(i=1,2,\cdots ,r\). \(r\) depends on \(q\). It was shown by \textit{K. E. Smith} and \textit{I. Swanson} [Commun. Algebra 25, No. 10, 3071--3079 (1997; Zbl 0889.13002)] that there is a strong connection between linear growth of primary decompositions and the localization problem in tight closure. The author of the paper under review shows that linear growth of primary decompositions of Frobenius powers of dimension one homogeneous ideals in graded rings over fields holds if the ring is positively graded. For non-negatively graded rings the author shows that there is a ``polynomial growth''. The paper discusses some examples and open questions.
