Abstract

Let XX be a set of KK-rational points in P1×P1P^1 \times P^1 over a field KK of characteristic zero, let YY be a fat point scheme supported at X X, and let RYR_Y be the bihomogeneus coordinate ring of YY. In this paper we investigate the module of Kaehler differentials ΩRY/K1\Omega^1_{R_Y/K}. We describe this bigraded RYR_Y-module explicitly via a homogeneous short exact sequence and compute its Hilbert function in a number of special cases, in particular when the support XX is a complete intersection or an almost complete intersection in P1×P1P^1 \times P^1. Moreover, we introduce a Kaehler different for YY and use it to characterize reduced fat point schemes in P1×P1P^1 \times P^1 having the Cayley-Bacharach property.
