There recently has been progress in showing that a naive lower bound for the Hilbert functions of symbolic powers $I^{(m)}$ is in fact attained when n>9. Here, for m sufficiently large, the minimal free graded resolution of $I^{(m)}$ is determined when n>9 is an even square, assuming only that this lower bound on the Hilbert function is attained. Under ostensibly stronger conditions (that are nonetheless expected always to hold), a similar result is shown to hold for odd squares, and for infinitely many m for each nonsquare n bigger than 9. All results hold for an arbitrary algebraically closed field k.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1999-06-18T19:02:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "13P10", "14C99" ], "keywords": [ "uniform fat point subschemes", "hilbert function", "minimal free graded resolution", "naive lower bound", "similar result" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "1999math......6130H" } } }
