$F$-injectivity does not imply $F$-fullness in normal domains

Abstract

We construct examples of noetherian three-dimensional local geometrically normal domains of prime characteristic which are $F$-injective but not $F$-full. Along the way, we find examples of two-dimensional local geometrically normal domains which are $F$-injective but not $F$-anti-nilpotent. A crucial theme of our constructions is the behavior of $F$-injectivity along a purely inseparable finite base change.
