Demailly's conjecture on initial degrees of symbolic powers
Demailly's conjecture on initial degrees of symbolic powers
Let be an algebraically closed field of characteristic . Let be a set of distinct points, and let be the defining homogeneous ideal of . For a homogeneous ideal , write for the least degree of a nonzero homogeneous element of , and write for its th symbolic power. Let be any positive integer.
Demailly's conjecture. For every integer ,
This generalizes Chudnovsky's bound by allowing the right-hand side to use the initial degree of an arbitrary symbolic power. The supplied text attributes the generalization to Demailly and gives no evidence of resolution.
