The Hilbert polynomial of a symbolic square

Algebraic Geometry 2024-06-04 v4

Abstract

Let kk be an algebraically closed field, and let CPknC\subset \mathbb{P}^n_k be a reduced closed subscheme with ideal sheaf I\mathcal{I}. Let I<2>\mathcal{I}^{<2>} be the second symbolic power of I\mathcal{I}. When CC is an integral curve, we compute the Hilbert polynomial of OPn/I<2>\mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^n}/\mathcal{I}^{<2>} in terms of invariants of CC.
