On the Hilbert Function of Fat Points on a Rational Normal Cubic
Abstract
In this paper we find an algorithm which computes the Hilbert function of schemes $Z$ of "fat points" in $\PP3$ whose support lies on a rational normal cubic curve $C$. The algorithm shows that the maximality of the Hilbert function in degree $t$ is related to the existence of fixed curves (either $C$ itself or one of its secant lines) for the linear system of surfaces of degree $t$ containing $Z$.
