In algebra, the Hilbert–Kunz function of a local ring (R, m) of prime characteristic p is the function

\( f(q) = \operatorname{length}_R(R/m^{[q]}) \)

where q is a power of p and m[q] is the ideal generated by the q-th powers of elements of the maximal ideal m. [1]

The notion was introduced by Ernst Kunz, who used it to characterize a regular ring as a Noetherian ring in which the Frobenius morphism is flat.
