Hadamard products of symbolic powers and Hadamard fat grids (Q6042145)

The authors study questions related to the Hadamard products of points in projective spaces (i.e. the coordinate-wise product of points considered as matrices). The first question addressed by the authors is the following. Question. Is it true that for points \(P,Q \in \mathbb{P}^{2}\) one has \[ I(P)^{m}\star I(Q)^{n} = I(P\star Q)^{n+m-1}? \] Here \(\star\) stands for the Hadamard product. In order to answer this question, let us recall that if \(H_{i} \subset \mathbb{P}^{n}\) with \(i \in \{0, \dots, n\}\) is the hyperplane given by \(x_{i}=0\), then \[ \Delta_{i} = \bigcup_{0 \leq j_{1} < \ldots < j_{n-i}\leq n}H_{j_{1}}\cap \dots \cap H_{j_{n-i}}. \] In other words, \(\Delta_{i}\) is the \(i\)-dimensional variety of points having at most \(i+1\) non-zero coordinates. Main Result. Let \(P\) and \(Q\) be two points in \(\mathbb{P}^{2} \setminus \Delta_{1}\), then for \(m,n\geq 1\) one has \[ I(P)^{m}\star I(Q)^{n} = I(P\star Q)^{n+m-1}. \] Based on that result, the authors define the so-called Hadamard fat grid. More precisely, let \(P_{M}=\{P_{1}, \dots, P_{r}\}\) and \(Q_{N} = \{Q_{1}, \dots, Q_{s}\}\) be two sets of collinear points in \(\mathbb{P}^{2}\setminus \Delta_{1}\) with assigned positive multiplicities, namely \(M = \{m_{1}, \dots, m_{r}\}\) and \(N=\{n_{1}, \dots, n_{s}\}\). We have \[ I(P_{M}) = I(P_{1})^{m_{1}} \cap \cdots \cap I(P_{r})^{m_{r}}, \] \[ I(Q_{N}) = I(Q_{1})^{n_{1}} \cap \cdots \cap I(Q_{s})^{n_{s}}. \] If we assume that \(P_{i}\star Q_{j} \neq P_{k} \star Q_{l}\) for all \(1 \leq i < k \leq r\) and \(1 \leq j < l \leq s\), then the set of fat points defined by \(I(P_{M}) \star I(Q_{N})\) is called a Hadamard fat grid and it is denoted by \(\mathrm{HFG}(P_{M}, Q_{N})\). The most important invariants of Hadamard fat grids, as minimal resolution, Waldschmidt constant and resurgence, are then computed there.
