The purpose of this paper is to construct some special kind of subschemes in $\mathbb{P}^N$ with $ N\ge 3$, which we call them "fat flat subschemes" and compute their Waldschmidt constants. These subschemes are constructed by adding, in a…

We study the Hilbert functions of fat points in P^1 x P^1. If Z is an arbitrary fat point subscheme of P^1 x P^1, then it can be shown that for every i and j the values of the Hilbert function H_Z(l,j) and H_Z(i,l) eventually become…

A $\Bbbk$-configuration of type $(d_1,\dots,d_s)$ is a specific set of points in $\mathbb P^2$ that has a number of algebraic and geometric properties. For example, the graded Betti numbers and Hilbert functions of all…

In the present note we prove a conjecture of Demailly for finite sets of sufficiently many very general points in projective spaces. This gives a lower bound on Waldschmidt constants of such sets. Waldschmidt constants are asymptotic…

Let $m \ge n$, $\phi_{n,m}: \mathbb P^n \to \mathbb P^m$, $\phi_{n,m}(a_1, \ldots, a_n)=(a_1, \ldots, a_n, 0, \ldots, 0)$, be the embedding, $Z=m_1P_1+\cdots+m_sP_s$ be fat points in $\mathbb P^n$ and…

We study the Waldschmidt constant of some configurations in the projective plane. In the first part, we show that the Waldschmidt constant of a set $\mathbb{X}$ of $n$ points where at least $n-3$ points among them lie on a line is either…

The Waldschmidt constant $\alphahat(I)$ of a radical ideal $I$ in the coordinate ring of $\PP^N$ measures (asymptotically) the degree of a hypersurface passing through the set defined by $I$ in $\PP^N$. Nagata's approach to the 14th Hilbert…

In this paper we extend the definition of a separator of a point P in P^n to a fat point P of multiplicity m. The key idea in our definition is to compare the fat point schemes Z = m_1P_1 + ... + m_iP_i + .... + m_sP_s in P^n and Z' =…

In this paper, we study the fattening effect of points over the complex numbers for del Pezzo surfaces $\mathbb{S}_r$ arising by blowing-up of $\mathbb{P}^2$ at $r$ general points, with $ r \in \{1, \dots, 8 \}$. Basic questions when…

A recent paper by the first and third authors together with Sabourin raised the question of what the possible Hilbert functions are for fat point subschemes of the form $2p_1+...+2p_r$, for all possible choices of $r$ distinct points in the…

The main result provides an algorithm for determining the minimal free resolution of ideals of fat point subschemes of ${\bf P}^2$ involving up to 8 general points with arbitrary multiplicities; the results hold over algebraically closed…

The purpose of this work is to extend the classification of planar point configurations with low Waldschmidt constants for all values less than $5/2$. As a consequence we prove a conjecture of Dumnicki, Szemberg and Tutaj-Gasi\'nska…

The graded Betti numbers of the minimal free resolution (and also therefore the Hilbert function) of the ideal of a fat point subscheme Z of P^2 are determined whenever Z is supported at any 6 or fewer distinct points. All results hold over…

It was already known that a p-adic, locally Lipschitz continuous semi-algebraic function is piecewise Lipschitz continuous, where the pieces can be taken semi-algebraic. We prove that if the function has locally Lipschitz constant 1, then…

In this paper we develop techniques for determining the dimension of linear systems of divisors based at a collection of general fat points in P^n by partitioning the monomial basis for the vector space of global sections of O(d). The…

We prove that a (globally) subanalytic p-adic function which is locally Lipschitz continuous with some constant C is piecewise (globally on each piece) Lipschitz continuous with possibly some other constant, where the pieces can be taken…

The problem to find an upper bound for the regularity index of fat points has been dealt with by many authors. In this paper we give a lower bound for the regularity index of fat points. It is useful for determining the regularity index.

We introduce definitions for the separator of a fat point and the degree of a fat point for a fat point scheme Z in P^n x P^m, and we study some of their properties.

Configurations of points defined by complex reflection groups have attracted a lot of attention recently in several directions of research, e.g., the containment problem between ordinary and symbolic powers of ideals, in the theory of…

Two approaches for determining Hilbert functions of fat point subschemes of $\mathbb P^2$ are demonstrated. A complete determination of the Hilbert functions which occur for 9 double points is given using the first approach, extending…
