Throughout this paper all rings will be Noetherian of positive characteristic p. Hence tight closure theory [HH1-4] takes a prominent place (see §2 for tight closure definitions and terminology). The purpose of this note ...

We obtain an exponential lower bound on the non-linear complexity of the new pseudo-random function, introduced recently by M. Naor and O. Reingold. This bound is an extension of the lower bound on the linear complexity ...

We show that the F-signature of an F-finite local ring R of characteristic p > 0 exists when R is either the localization of an N-graded ring at its irrelevant ideal or Q-Gorenstein on its punctured spectrum. This extends ...

We show that the F-signature of a local ring of characteristic p, defined by Huneke and Leuschke, is positive if and only if the ring is strongly F-regular.
