Abstract:

In this paper, $D$ is a derivation acting on the formal power series ring $K[[{t_1}, \cdots ,{t_r}]]$ over a field $K$ of characteristic $p \ne 0$. We conjecture that the colengths of the ideals ($({D^{{p^n}}}{t_1}, \cdots ,{D^{{p^n}}}{t_r})$ and $({D^{{p^{n - 1}}}}{t_1}, \cdots ,{D^{{p^{n - 1}}}}{t_r})$ are congruent modulo ${p^n}$, provided they are finite. We give a proof for the case $r = 1$ and any $n \geqq 1$, and for the case $n = 1$ and any $r \geqq 1$.
