Distinguishing -configurations

Abstract: A

B b b k

-configuration is a set of points

m a t h b b X

in

m a t h b b P^{2}

that satisfies a number of geometric conditions. Associated to a

B b b k

-configuration is a sequence

(d_{1}, l d o t s, d_{s})

of positive integers, called its type, which encodes many of its homological invariants. We distinguish

B b b k

-configurations by counting the number of lines that contain

d_{s}

points of

m a t h b b X

. In particular, we show that for all integers

m g g 0

, the number of such lines is precisely the value of

D e l t a m a t h b f H_{m m a t h b b X} (m d_{s} - 1)

. Here,

D e l t a m a t h b f H_{m m a t h b b X} (-)

is the first difference of the Hilbert function of the fat points of multiplicity

m

supported on

m a t h b b X

.
