Abstract: We investigate the expected dimensionality of linear systems with general fat points on certain surfaces using an approach by specialization to elliptic surfaces. For the projectivization of the Atiyah bundle over an elliptic curve with a certain polarization, we observe that the special case of only one fat point implies the general case of arbitrarily many fat points, as well as results concerning other surfaces. We conjecture that this special case holds in characteristic 0, but prove that it fails in any positive characteristic.

Review text

Let \(E\) be an elliptic curve and let \(V\) be the vector bundle of rank \(2\) obtained as a non-trivial extension \(0\to O_E\to V\to O_E\to 0\). Consider the ruled surface \(S=\mathbb P(E)\). The author studies the interpolation problem with multiplicities, with respect to the line bundle \(L=F+\ell D\) on \(S\), where \(F\) is the fiber over a fixed point and \(D\) is the section induced by the embedding \(O_E\to V\) in the exact sequence above. The behavior of general divisors on ruled surfaces with respect to the interpolation problem is well known to be often quite special, even when one imposes just one single point of multiplicity \(m\geq 3\). The author proves that sets \(m_1P_1+\dots+m_nP_n\), with \(P_1,\dots, P_n\in S\) general points, impose the expected number of conditions to the divisor \(L\) if and only if the same is true for \(n=1\) (i.e. for a single multiple point). Then, the author gives examples, in positive characteristic, of ruled surfaces \(S\) as above for which a single multiple point fails to impose the expected number of conditions to the divisor \(L=F+\ell D\).
