Separators of Arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay fat points in P^1 x P^1
Abstract
Let Z be a set of fat points in P^1 x P^1 that is also arithmetically
Cohen-Macaulay (ACM). We describe how to compute the degree of a separator of a
fat point of multiplicity m for each point in the support of Z using only a
numerical description of Z. Our formula extends the case of reduced points
which was previously known.
