Higher Infinitesimal Neighbourhoods

We study the Hilbert function of thekth order neighbourhood of a collection Γ of points in linearly general position in Pn, writtenhPn(Γk,m). Our main results are the following bounds onhPn(Γk,k+1): If degΓ≥2n−k+1 thenhPn(Γk,k+1)≥hPn(Ck,k+1), whereC⊂Pnis a rational normal curve of degreen. If Γ is s...

Zusammenfassung:We study the Hilbert function of thekth order neighbourhood of a collection Γ of points in linearly general position in Pn, writtenhPn(Γk,m). Our main results are the following bounds onhPn(Γk,k+1): If degΓ≥2n−k+1 thenhPn(Γk,k+1)≥hPn(Ck,k+1), whereC⊂Pnis a rational normal curve of degreen. If Γ is sufficiently general ands=degΓ then and equality holds whenk=3.
