Log canonical thresholds, $F$-pure thresholds, and nonstandard extensions

Bhargav Bhatt, Daniel J. Hernández, Lance Edward Miller and Mircea Mustaţă

Vol. 6 (2012), No. 7, 1459–1482
Abstract

We present a new relation between an invariant of singularities in characteristic zero (the log canonical threshold) and an invariant of singularities defined via the Frobenius morphism in positive characteristic (the F-pure threshold). We show that the set of limit points of sequences of the form (cp), where cp is the F-pure threshold of an ideal on an n-dimensional smooth variety in characteristic p, coincides with the set of log canonical thresholds of ideals on n-dimensional smooth varieties in characteristic zero. We prove this by combining results of Hara and Yoshida with nonstandard constructions.
