Abstract

B. Harbourne and C. Huneke conjectured that for any ideal II of fat points in PNP^N its rr-th symbolic power I(r)I^{(r)} should be contained in M(N1)rIrM^{(N-1)r}I^r, where MM denotes the homogeneous maximal ideal in the ring of coordinates of PNP^N. We show that this conjecture holds for the ideal of any number of simple (not fat) points in general position in P3P^3 and for at most N+1N+1 simple points in general position in PNP^N. As a corollary we give a positive answer to Chudnovsky Conjecture in the case of generic points in P3P^3.
