We show that the property of F-regularity does not deform, and thereby settle a long- standing open question in the theory of tight closure. Specifically, we construct a three dimensional -graded domain R which is not F-regular (or even F-pure), but has a quotient R tR which is F-regular. Examples are constructed over fields of characteristic p 0, as well as over fields of characteristic zero. 1. Introduction. Throughout this paper, all rings are commutative, Noethe- rian, and have an identity element. The theory of tight closure was developed by Melvin Hochster and Craig Huneke in (HH2) and draws attention to rings which have the property that all their ideals are tightly closed, called weakly F-regular rings. The term F-regular is reserved for rings all of whose localizations are weakly F-regular. A natural question that arose with the development of the the- ory was whether the property of F-regularity deforms, i.e., if (R, m, K) is a local ring such that R tR is F-regular for some nonzerodivisor t m ,m ustR be F- regular? (See the Epilogue of (Ho).) Hochster and Huneke showed that this is indeed true if the ring R is Gorenstein, (HH3), and their work has been followed by various attempts at extending this result, see (AKM), (Si), (Sm3). Our pri- mary goal here is to settle this question by constructing a family of examples to show that F-regularity does not deform. We shall throughout be considering -graded rings, but local examples can be obtained, in all cases, by localizing at the homogeneous maximal ideals. Our main result is: THEOREM 1.1. There exists an -graded ring R of dimension three (finitely generated over a field R 0 = K of characteristic p 2) which is not F-pure, but has an F-regular quotient R tR where t m is a homogeneous nonzerodivisor. Specifically, for positive integers m and n satisfying m m n 2, consider the ring R = K(A, B, C, D, T) I where I is generated by the size two minors of the
