In this note we relate the SHGH Conjecture to the rationality of one-point Seshadri constants on blow ups of the projective plane, and explain how rationality of Seshadri constants can be tested with the help of functions on Newton--Okounkov bodies.
The purpose of this note is twofold. We present first a vanishing theorem for families of linear series with base ideal being a fat points ideal. We apply then this result in order to give a partial proof of a conjecture raised by Bocci, Harbourne and Huneke concerning containment relations between ordinary and symbolic powers of planar point ideals.
We show that the Conjecture of Harbourne and Huneke, $I^{(Nr-(N-1))} \subset M^{(r-1)(N-1)}I^{r}$ holds for ideals of generic (simple) points in $\PP^3$. As a result, for such ideals we prove the following bounds, which can be recognized as generalizations of Chudnovsky bounds: $α(I^{(3m-k)}) \geq mα(I)+2m-k$, for any $m \geq 1$ and $k=0,1,2$. Moreover, we obtain lower bounds for the Waldshmidt constant for such ideals.
Prompted by results of Guardo, Van Tuyl and the second author for lines in projective 3 space, we develop asymptotic upper bounds for the least degree of a homogeneous form vanishing to order at least m on a union of disjoint r dimensional planes in projective n space for n at least 2r+1. These considerations lead to new conjectures that suggest that the well known conjecture of Nagata for points in the projective plane is not sporadic, but rather a special case of a more general phenomenon.
We study initial degrees of symbolic powers of ideals of arbitrary finite sets of points in the projective plane over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We show, how bounds on the growth of these degrees determine the geometry of the given set of points.
B. Harbourne and C. Huneke conjectured that for any ideal $I$ of fat points in $P^N$ its $r$-th symbolic power $I^{(r)}$ should be contained in $M^{(N-1)r}I^r$, where $M$ denotes the homogeneous maximal ideal in the ring of coordinates of $P^N$. We show that this conjecture holds for the ideal of any number of simple (not fat) points in general position in $P^3$ and for at most $N+1$ simple points in general position in $P^N$. As a corollary we give a positive answer to Chudnovsky Conjecture in the case of generic points in $P^3$.
In the week 3--9, October 2010, the Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut at Oberwolfach hosted a mini workshop Linear Series on Algebraic Varieties. These notes contain a variety of interesting problems which motivated the participants prior to the event, and examples, results and further problems which grew out of discussions during and shortly after the workshop. A lot of arguments presented here are scattered in the literature or constitute folklore. It was one of our aims to have a usable and easily accessible collection of examples and results.
We present algorithms used in the computational part of the article "Special homogeneous linear systems on Hirzebruch surfaces".
The Segre-Gimigliano-Harbourne-Hirschowitz Conjecture can be naturally formulated for Hirzebruch surfaces F_n. We show that this Conjecture holds for imposed base points of equal multiplicity bounded by 8.
We prove that the linear system of hypersurfaces in P^3 of degree d, 14 <= d <= 40, with double, triple and quadruple points in general position are non-special. This solves the cases that have not been completed in a paper by E. Ballico and M.C. Brambilla.
In the paper we prove Harbourne-Hirschowitz conjecture for quasi-homogeneous linear systems on $\mathbb P^2$ for $m=7$, 8, 9, 10, i.e. systems of curves of given degree passing through points in general position with multiplicities at least $m,...,m,m_0$, where $m=7$, 8, 9, 10, $m_0$ is arbitrary.
The main goal of this paper is to present a new algorithm bounding the regularity and ``alpha'' (the lowest degree of existing hypersurface) of a linear system of hypersurfaces (in $\mathbb P^n$) passing through multiple points in general position. To do the above we formulate and prove new theorem, which allows to show non-specialty of linear system by splitting it into non-special (and simpler) systems. As a result we give new bounds for multiple point Seshadri constants on $\PP^2$.
In the paper we develop a new method of proving non-speciality of a linear system with base fat points in general position. Using this method we show that the Hirschowitz-Harbourne Conjecture holds for systems with base points of equal multiplicity bounded by 42.
The main goal of this paper is to present an algorithm bounding the dimension of a linear system of curves of given degree (or monomial basis) with multiple points in general position. As a result we prove the Hirschowitz--Harbourne Conjecture when the multiplicities of base points are bounded by 11.
The main goal of the paper is to find an effective estimation for the minimal number of generic points in $\mathbb K^2$ for which the basis for Hermite interpolation consists of the first $\ell$ terms (with respect to total degree ordering). As a result we prove that the space of plane curves of degree $d$ having generic singularities of multiplicity $\leq m$ has the expected dimension if the number of low order singularities (of multiplicity $k\leq12$) is greater then some $r(m,k)$. Additionally, the upper bounds for $r(m,k)$ are given.
