On some properties of the asymptotic Samuel function

From MaRDI portal





Let \(X\) be an algebraic variety over a field \(k\). In this paper the authors study some properties of the asymptotic Samuel function in general. This function contributes to the understanding of the resolution functions involved in the constructive resolution of singularities of \(X\). The authors explore the properties of this function and moreover they also continue with the task of analyzing the properties of an invariant defined in [\textit{A. Benito} et al., Rev. Mat. Complut. 37, No. 2, 603--652 (2024; Zbl 1559.13010)] that is called the Samuel slope of a local ring. This number can be defined for any Noetherian local ring. In [\textit{A. Benito} et al., Rev. Mat. Complut. 37, No. 2, 603--652 (2024; Zbl 1559.13010)] the authors showed that the Samuel slope is connected to some resolution functions that appear naturally when working with algebraic varieties over perfect fields of prime characteristic. In this paper further properties of the slope of a ring are explores in the context of excellent local equicharateristic equidimensional rings. The authors establish the rationality of the Samuel slope for reduced excellent local rings and prove its invariance under completion and local étale extensions. Furthermore, they provide a semicontinuity property for the asymptotic Samuel function along the strata of constant multiplicity, offering a more intrinsic approach to the study of singularities that avoids reliance on regular ambient spaces.
