F-threshold multiplicity inequality for parameter ideals

Let (R,m)(R,\mathfrak{m}) be a dd-dimensional Noetherian local ring of characteristic p>0p>0. If JmJ\subseteq\mathfrak{m} is an ideal generated by a full system of parameters, and if am\mathfrak{a}\subseteq\mathfrak{m} is an m\mathfrak{m}-primary ideal, define the lower F-threshold

cJ(a)=lim infeνaJ(pe)pe,\operatorname{c}_{-}^J(\mathfrak{a})=\liminf_{e\to\infty}\frac{\nu^J_{\mathfrak{a}}(p^e)}{p^e},

where

νaJ(pe)=max{rar⊈J[pe]}.\nu^J_{\mathfrak{a}}(p^e)=\max\{r\mid\mathfrak{a}^r\not\subseteq J^{[p^e]}\}.

Here J[pe]J^{[p^e]} is generated by the pep^e-powers of elements of JJ.

F-threshold multiplicity conjecture. One should have

e(a)(dcJ(a))de(J).e(\mathfrak{a})\geq\left(\frac{d}{\operatorname{c}_{-}^J(\mathfrak{a})}\right)^d e(J).

This generalizes characteristic-pp multiplicity inequalities involving the F-pure threshold. The case J=mJ=\mathfrak{m}, where RR is regular, was proved by Tucker and Watanabe; the conjecture remains open in general.
