Abstract: In the present note we prove a conjecture of Demailly for finite sets of sufficiently many very general points in projective spaces. This gives a lower bound on Waldschmidt constants of such sets. Waldschmidt constants are asymptotic invariants of subschemes receiving recently considerable amount of attention.

Review text

In the paper under review, the authors investigate an interesting conjecture which is attributed to \textit{J. P. Demailly} [Bull. Soc. Math. Fr. 110, 75--102 (1982; Zbl 0493.32003)]. Let \(Z \subset \mathbb{C}^{N}\) be a finite set of points, and we denote by \(\alpha(mZ)\) the least degree of a polynomial vanishing at all points of \(Z\) to order at least \(m\). Moreover, we denote by \(\hat{\alpha}(Z)\) the so-called Waldschmidt constant, i.e., \[ \hat{\alpha}(Z) := \lim_{m \rightarrow \infty} \frac{\alpha(mZ)}{m}. \] Conjecture. (Demailly). Let \(Z \subset \mathbb{C}^{N}\) be a finite set of points, then for all \(m\geq 1\) one has \[ \hat{\alpha}(Z) \geq \frac{ \alpha(mZ) + N -1}{m+N - 1}. \] The main result of the paper can be formulated as follows (following the authors). Main Theorem. The Demailly's Conjecture holds \(s \geq (m+1)^{N}\) very general points in \(\mathbb{P}^{N}\). It is worth pointing out that the authors prove only a variation on Demailly's Conjecture since they assume that the number of points is sufficiently large and depends on \(m\).
