Abstract

We propose an upper bound for the regularity index of fat points of P^n with no geometric conditions on the points. Whenever the conjecture is true, the bound is sharp. It is, in fact, reached when there are points with high multiplicities either on a line or an some rational curve. Besides giving an easy proof of the conjecture in P^2, we prove it in P^3, by using some preliminary results which hold, more generally, in P^n.
