Abstract: We introduce two families of ideals, F-jumping ideals and F-Jacobian ideals, in order to study the singularities of hypersurfaces in positive characteristic. Both families are defined using the D-modules Malpha that were introduced by Blickle, Mustac{t}u{a} and Smith. Using strong connections between F-jumping ideals and generalized test ideals, we give a characterization of F-jumping numbers for hypersurfaces. Furthermore, we give an algorithm that determines whether certain numbers are F-jumping numbers. In addition, we use F-Jacobian ideals to study intrinsic properties of the singularities of hypersurfaces. In particular, we give conditions for F-regularity. Moreover, F-Jacobian ideals behave similarly to Jacobian ideals of polynomials. Using techniques developed to study these two new families of ideals, we provide relations among test ideals, generalized test ideals, and generalized Lyubeznik numbers for hypersurfaces.


The authors introduce \(F\)-jumping and \(F\)-Jacobian ideals for hypersurfaces in positive characteristic to study their singularities. Both are defined using the \(D\)-module \(M_\alpha\) introduced by Blickle, Mustaţă and Smith [\textit{M. Blickle} et al., Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 361, No. 12, 6549--6565 (2009; Zbl 1193.13003)]. For example, The \(F\)-jumping ideal \(J(f^\alpha)\) is defined as the ideal in \(R\) such that \(J(f^\alpha)e_\alpha= Re_\alpha \cap N_\alpha\) where \(N_\alpha\) is the unique simple nonzero \(D\)-submodule of \(M_\alpha\) and \(e_\alpha\) is the generator of \(M_\alpha\) as an \(R_f\)-module. The main result is a characterization of the \(F\)-jumping numbers for hypersurfaces. Let \(R\) be an \(F\)-finite regular domain of characteristic \(p>0\) and let \(f\in R\) be a nonzero element. Let \(\alpha\in\mathbb{Q}\) be a rational number with denominator not divisible by \(p\). Then \(\alpha\) is not an \(F\)-jumping number if and only if \(M_\alpha\) is a simple \(D\)-module (equivalent to being simple as an \(F^e\)-module), and also if and only if the \(F\)-jumping ideal \(J(f^\alpha)\) is the unit ideal.
