Abstract

We provide a family of examples for which the $F$-pure threshold and the log canonical threshold of a polynomial are different, but such that the characteristic $p$ does not divide the denominator of the $F$-pure threshold (compare with an example of Mustaţă–Takagi–Watanabe). We then study the $F$-signature function in the case that either the $F$-pure threshold and log canonical threshold coincide, or that $p$ does not divide the denominator of the $F$-pure threshold. We show that the $F$-signature function behaves similarly in those two cases. Finally, we include an appendix that shows that the test ideal can still behave in surprising ways even when the $F$-pure threshold and log canonical threshold coincide.
