Review text

This paper studies ``fat points, intended here as affine schemes over the complex numbers having support at one point; the aim is to study the possible embeddings of such schemes in affine spaces. Note that any analytic embedding is actually algebraic in these settings. The main results in the paper give that a fat point has at most one embedding in \({\mathbb A}^n\) up to analytic equivalence, while the embedding is unique also up to algebraic equivalence if the algebra of functions admits a non-trivial \({\mathbb Z}_+\)-grading (this is shown to happen if and only if the group of automorphisms of the algebra contains the torus \({\mathbb C}^*\)). Moreover, it is shown that there are fat points admitting non-equivalent embeddings in \({\mathbb A}^2\) (example are given).
