\(F\)-blowups of normal surface singularities (Q365888)

The paper studies in detail the \(F\)-blowups of certain normal surface singularities. The \(F\)-blowup of a variety was introduced by \textit{T. Yasuda} [Am. J. Math. 134, No. 2, 349--378 (2012; Zbl 1251.14002)]. Its interaction to \(F\)-pure and \(F\)-regular singularities has not been fully expored. This article deals with understanding the properties of \(F\)-blowups of non \(F\)-regular rational normal double points and simple elliptic singularities, in relation to normality, smoothness, and stabilization of the \(F\)-blowup sequence. The techniques used combine classical results on normal surface singularities with computations performed with the help of Macaulay2 using two computational tools implemented here. Given a module, the first computes an ideal such that the blowups at the ideal and module coincide, based upon \textit{O. Villamayor U.}'s work [J. Algebra 295, No. 1, 119--140 (2006; Zbl 1087.14011)]. The second tool computes the Frobenius pushforward \(F_*M\) of a given module \(M\). Among other things, in the case of the rational normal double points, the authors exhibit two non-\(F\)-regular such surfaces for which the \(e\)th \(F\)-blowup is the minimal resolution, for \(e \geq 2\). For simple elliptic singularities, the authors determine the structure of \(F\)-blowups up to normalization. Some of the results build upon previous work of \textit{N. Hara} and \textit{T. Sawada} [RIMS Kôkyûroku Bessatsu B24, 121--141 (2011; Zbl 1228.13009)].
