On codimension two flats in Fermat-type arrangements

arXiv:1705.00639

Abstract

In the present note we study certain arrangements of codimension flats in projective spaces, we call them "Fermat arrangements". We describe algebraic properties of their defining ideals. In particular, we show that they provide counterexamples to an expected containment relation between ordinary and symbolic powers of homogeneous ideals.
