On the containment problem
The purpose of this note is to provide an overview of the containment problem
for symbolic and ordinary powers of homogeneous ideals, related conjectures and
examples. We focus here on ideals with zero dimensional support. This is an
area of ongoing active research. We conclude the note with a list of potential
promising paths of further research.Comment: 13 pages, 1 figur
On Parameterizations of plane rational curves and their syzygies
Let be a plane rational curve of degree and its normalization. We are interested in the splitting type of ,
where
gives the syzigies of the ideal , and
is a parameterization of . We want to describe in which
cases (, via a geometric description; namely we show
that if and only if is the projection of a rational curve
on a rational normal surface in .Comment: 12 Page
Osculating spaces to secant varieties
We generalize the classical Terracini's Lemma to higher order osculating
spaces to secant varieties. As an application, we address with the so-called
Horace method the case of the -Veronese embedding of the projective 3-space
Points fattening on P^1 x P^1 and symbolic powers of bi-homogeneous ideals
We study symbolic powers of bi-homogeneous ideals of points in the Cartesian
product of two projective lines and extend to this setting results on the
effect of points fattening obtained by Bocci, Chiantini and Dumnicki, Szemberg,
Tutaj-Gasi\'nska. We prove a Chudnovsky-type theorem for bi-homogeneous ideals
and apply it to classification of configurations of points with minimal or no
fattening effect. We hope that the ideas developed in this project will find
further algebraic and geometric applications e.g. to study similar problems on
arbitrary surfaces.Comment: 12 pages, notes from a workshop on linear series held in Lanckoron
