In this paper, we study the geometric configurations of a finite set of points having the Cayley-Bacharach property in the $n$-dimensional projective space $\bbP^n$. Our main contribution is the proof of the Levinson-Ullery conjecture for the previously unsolved case where $d=4$ and $r\ge 1$.
Given a 0-dimensional scheme $\X$ in $\mathbb{P}^n_K$ over a perfect field $K$, we examine the second differential power of its homogeneous vanishing ideal. This enables us to establish the canonical exact sequence for the associated Kähler differential module. We also provide a formula for the Hilbert polynomial of Kähler differential modules when $\X$ is either a fat point scheme or a 0-dimensional locally monomial Gorenstein scheme.
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 equal to $1, \frac{2n-3}{n-1}, 2, \frac{16}{7}, \frac{7}{3}, \frac{17}{7},$ or $\frac{5}{2}$. Together with the Hilbert polynomials, this gives a complete geometric characterization for $\mathbb{X}$. Next, we study some specific configurations whose Waldschmidt constants are bounded from above by $\frac{5}{2}$. Under this condition, we describe all configurations of $n$ points with $n-1$ points among them lying on an irreducible conic, and we also study some specific configurations of $9$ points.
For a 0-dimensional scheme $\mathbb{X}$ in $\mathbb{P}^n$ over a perfect field $K$, we first embed the homogeneous coordinate ring $R$ into its truncated integral closure $\widetilde{R}$. Then we use the corresponding map from the module of Kähler differentials $Ω^1_{R/K}$ to $Ω^1_{\widetilde{R}/K}$ to find a formula for the Hilbert polynomial ${\rm HP}(Ω^1_{R/K})$ and a sharp bound for the regularity index ${\rm ri}(Ω^1_{R/K})$. Additionally, we extend this to formulas for the Hilbert polynomials ${\rm HP}(Ω^m_{R/K})$ and bounds for the regularity indices of the higher modules of Kähler differentials. Next we derive a new characterization of a weakly curvilinear scheme $\mathbb{X}$ which can be checked without computing a primary decomposition of its homogeneous vanishing ideal. Moreover, we prove precise formulas for the Hilbert polynomial of $Ω^m_{R/K}$ of a fat point scheme $\mathbb{X}$, extending and settling previous partial results and conjectures. Finally, we characterize uniformity conditions on $\mathbb{X}$ using the Hilbert functions of the Kähler differential modules of $\mathbb{X}$ and its subschemes.
Given an ACM set $\mathbb{X}$ of points in a multiprojective space $\mathbb{P}^m\times\mathbb{P}^n$ over a field of characteristic zero, we are interested in studying the Kähler different and the Cayley-Bacharach property for $\mathbb{X}$. In $\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1$, the Cayley-Bacharach property agrees with the complete intersection property and it is characterized by using the Kähler different. However, this result fails to hold in $\mathbb{P}^m\times\mathbb{P}^n$ for $n>1$ or $m>1$. In this paper we start an investigation of the Kähler different and its Hilbert function and then prove that $\mathbb{X}$ is a complete intersection of type $(d_1,...,d_m,d'_1,...,d'_n)$ if and only if it has the Cayley-Bachrach property and the Kähler different is non-zero at a certain degree. When $\mathbb{X}$ has the $(\star)$-property, we characterize the Cayley-Bacharach property of $\mathbb{X}$ in terms of its components under the canonical projections.
Given a fat point scheme $\mathbb{W}=m_1P_1+\cdots+m_sP_s$ in the projective $n$-space $\mathbb{P}^n$ over a field $K$ of characteristic zero, the modules of Kähler differential $k$-forms of its homogeneous coordinate ring contain useful information about algebraic and geometric properties of $\mathbb{W}$ when $k\in\{1,\dots, n+1\}$. In this paper we determine the value of its Hilbert polynomial explicitly for the case $k=n+1$, confirming an earlier conjecture. More precisely this value is given by the multiplicity of the fat point scheme $\mathbb{Y} = (m_1-1)P_1 + \cdots + (m_s-1)P_s$. For $n=2$, this allows us to determine the Hilbert polynomials of the modules of Kähler differential $k$-forms for $k=1,2,3$, and to produce a sharp bound for the regularity index for $k=2$.
Given a 0-dimensional scheme X in a n-dimensional projective space P^n_K over an arbitrary field K, we use Liaison theory to characterize the Cayley-Bacharach property of X. Our result extends the result for sets of K-rational points given in [7]. In addition, we examine and bound the Hilbert function and regularity index of the Dedekind different of X when X has the Cayley-Bacharach property.
Let $X$ be a set of $K$-rational points in $P^1 \times P^1$ over a field $K$ of characteristic zero, let $Y$ be a fat point scheme supported at $ X$, and let $R_Y$ be the bihomogeneus coordinate ring of $Y$. In this paper we investigate the module of Kaehler differentials $Ω^1_{R_Y/K}$. We describe this bigraded $R_Y$-module explicitly via a homogeneous short exact sequence and compute its Hilbert function in a number of special cases, in particular when the support $X$ is a complete intersection or an almost complete intersection in $P^1 \times P^1$. Moreover, we introduce a Kaehler different for $Y$ and use it to characterize reduced fat point schemes in $P^1 \times P^1$ having the Cayley-Bacharach property.
Given a 0-dimensional scheme $\mathbb{X}$ in a projective space $\mathbb{P}^n_K$ over a field $K$, we characterize the Cayley-Bacharach property of $\mathbb{X}$ in terms of the algebraic structure of the Dedekind different of its homogeneous coordinate ring. Moreover, we characterize Cayley-Bacharach schemes by Dedekind's formula for the conductor and the complementary module, we study schemes with minimal Dedekind different using the trace of the complementary module, and we prove various results about almost Gorenstein and nearly Gorenstein schemes.
Given a 0-dimensional scheme in a projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$ over a field $K$, we study the Kähler differential algebra $Ω_{R/K}$ of its homogeneous coordinate ring $R$. Using explicit presentations of the modules $Ω^m_{R/K}$ of Kähler differential $m$-forms, we determine many values of their Hilbert functions explicitly and bound their Hilbert polynomials and regularity indices. Detailed results are obtained for subschemes of $\mathbb{P}^1$, fat point schemes, and subschemes of $\mathbb{P}^2$ supported on a conic.
