Hilbert functions of schemes of double and reduced points
Abstract
It remains an open problem to classify the Hilbert functions of double points in . Given a valid Hilbert function of a zero-dimensional scheme in , we show how to construct a set of fat points of double and reduced points such that , the Hilbert function of , is the same as . In other words, we show that any valid Hilbert function of a zero-dimensional scheme is the Hilbert function of a set of a positive number of double points and some reduced points. For some families of valid Hilbert functions, we are also able to show that is the Hilbert function of only double points. In addition, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the Hilbert function of a scheme of a double points, or double points plus one additional reduced point, to be the Hilbert function of points with support on a star configuration of lines.
