Hilbert polynomials of Kähler differential modules for fat point schemes (Q2048949)

Let \(W=m_1P_1+\cdots+m_sP_s\) be a scheme of fat points in \(\mathbb P^n_K\), where \(K\) is a field of characteristic zero. The authors deal with the problem of computing the Hilbert polynomial of the modules of the Kähler differential \(k\)-forms of the coordinate ring of \(W\), \(\Omega^{k}_{R_{W/K}}\). After introducing notation and basic facts in Section 2, they show in Theorem 3.7 that the Hilbert polynomial of \(\Omega^{n+1}_{R_{W/K}}\) is \(\sum_j\binom{m_j+n-2}{n},\) i.e., it is the Hilbert polynomial of the coordinate ring of the fat points scheme \((m_1-1)P_1+\cdots+(m_s-1)P_s\). This answers positively to a conjecture the authors stated in a previous paper, see Conjecture 5.7 in [\textit{M. Kreuzer} et al., J. Algebra 501, 255--284 (2018; Zbl 1388.13051)]. Moreover, making use of Theorem 3.7, the authors compute the Hilbert polynomial of the modules of the Kähler differential of a scheme of fat points in \(\mathbb P^2\), see Proposition 4.1.
