Derivation module and the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of the co-ordinate ring of a projective monomial curve

Abstract: Let

n_{1}, n_{2}, l d o t s, n_{p}

be a sequence of positive integers such that

n_{1} < n_{2} < c d o t s < n_{p}

and

m a t h r m g c d (n_{1}, n_{2}, l d o t s, n_{p}) = 1

. Let

S = l a n g l e (0, n_{p}), (n_{1}, n_{p} - n_{1}), l d o t s, (n_{p - 1}, n_{p} - n_{p - 1}), (n_{p}, 0) a n g l e

be an affine semigroup in

m a t h b b N^{2}

. The semigroup ring

k [S]

is the co-ordinate ring of the projective monomial curve in the projective space

m a t h b b P_{k}^{p}

, which is defined parametrically by �egin{center}

x_{0} = v^{n_{p}}, q u a d x_{1} = u^{n_{1}} v^{n_{p} - n_{1}}, q u a d l d o t s, q u a d x_{p - 1} = u^{n_{p - 1}} v^{n_{p} - n_{p - 1}}, q u a d x_{p} = u^{n_{p}}

. end{center} We consider that

n_{1}, n_{2}, l d o t s, n_{p}

forms an arithmetic sequence. For

p = 2, 3

, we give an explicit set of minimal generators for the derivation module

m a t h r m {D e r}_{k} (k [S])

. For

p > 3

, we write an explicit formula for

m u (m a t h r m {D e r}_{k} (k [S]))

and give a potential set of derivations for the derivation module

m a t h r m {D e r}_{k} (k [S])

. Further, we give an explicit formula for the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity of the co-ordinate ring of any projective monomial curve.
