Abstract: We study the postulation of a general union Y of double, triple, and quartuple points of mathbbP3. We prove that Y has the expected postulation in degree dge41, using the Horace differential lemma. We also discuss the cases of low degree with the aid of computer algebra.


The theme of polynomial interpolation has a long history in Mathematics, and its ``ubiquity has been remarked by many authors, especially when it regards studying vector spaced of forms of a given degree \(d\) passing through given fixed points \(P_q,\dots,P_s \in {\mathbb P}^n\) with assigned multiplicities \(m_1,\dots,m_s\) (i.e. considering the degree \(d\) part of the ideal of the scheme of ``fat points \(m_1P_1+\dots+m_sP_s\)). In this paper the case of generic \(P_1,\dots,P_s \in {\mathbb P}^3\) is studied for \(m_1\leq m_2\leq \dots \leq m_s\leq 4\) is treated; the main result is that for \(d\geq 41\), such vector space have the expected dimension. The main tool for the proof is the ``differential Horace method, which allows an induction procedure on the multiplicities of the points.
