Connecting interpolation and multiplicity estimates in commutative algebraic groups

Abstract: Let

G

be a commutative algebraic group embedded in projective space and

G a m m a

a finitely generated subgroup of

G

. From these data we construct a chain of algebraic subgroups of

G

which is intimately related to obstructions to multiplicity or interpolation estimates. Let

g a m m a_{1}, ..., g a m m a_{l}

denote a family of generators of

G a m m a

and, for any

S > 1

, let

G a m m a (S)

be the set of elements

n_{1} g a m m a_{1} + .. + n_{l} g a m m a_{l}

with integers

n_{j}

such that

| n_{j} | < S

. Then this chain of subgroups controls, for large values of

S

, the distribution of

G a m m a (S)

with respect to algebraic subgroups of

G

. As an application we essentially determine (up to multiplicative constants) the locus of common zeros of all

which vanish to at least some given order at all points of

G a m m a (S)

. When

D

is very small this result reduces to a multiplicity estimate; when

D

is very large it is a kind of interpolation estimate.
