Hadamard products of symbolic powers and Hadamard fat grids

In this paper we address the question if, for points $P, Q \in \mathbb{P}^{2}$, $I(P)^{m} \star I(Q)^{n}=I(P \star Q)^{m+n-1}$ and we obtain different results according to the number of zero coordinates in $P$ and $Q$. Successively, we use our results to define the so called Hadamard fat grids, which are the result of the Hadamard product of two sets of collinear points with given multiplicities. The most important invariants of Hadamard fat grids, as minimal resolution, Waldschmidt constant and resurgence, are then computed.

Plane curves containing a star configuration

Given a collection of $l$ general lines $\ell_1,\ldots,\ell_{l}$ in $\pr^2$, the star configuration $\XX(l)$ is the set of points constructed from all pairwise intersections of these lines. For each non-negative integer $d$, we compute the dimension of the family of curves of degree $d$ that contain a star configuration.

Extending bicolorings for Steiner Triple Systems

We initiate the study of extended bicolorings of Steiner triple systems (STS) which start with a $k$-bicoloring of an STS($v$) and end up with a $k$-bicoloring of an STS($2v+1$) obtained by a doubling construction, using only the original colors used in coloring the subsystem STS($v$). By producing many such extended bicolorings, we obtain several infinite classes of orders for which there exist STSs with different lower and upper chromatic number.

Resolutions of ideals of six fat points in P^2

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 an algebraically closed field k of arbitrary characteristic.

Configuration types and cubic surfaces

This paper is a sequel to the paper \cite{refGH}. We relate the matroid notion of a combinatorial geometry to a generalization which we call a configuration type. Configuration types arise when one classifies the Hilbert functions and graded Betti numbers for fat point subschemes supported at $n\le8$ essentially distinct points of the projective plane. Each type gives rise to a surface $X$ obtained by blowing up the points. We classify those types such that $n=6$ and $-K_X$ is nef. The surfaces obtained are precisely the desingularizations of the normal cubic surfaces. By classifying configuration types we recover in all characteristics the classification of normal cubic surfaces, which is well-known in characteristic 0 \cite{refBW}. As an application of our classification of configuration types, we obtain a numerical procedure for determining the Hilbert function and graded Betti numbers for the ideal of any fat point subscheme $Z=m_1p_1+...+m_6p_6$ such that the points $p_i$ are essentially distinct and $-K_X$ is nef, given only the configuration type of the points $p_1,...,p_6$ and the coefficients $m_i$.
