Bounding symbolic powers via asymptotic multiplier ideals
Abstract
We revisit a bound on symbolic powers found by Ein–Lazarsfeld–Smith and subsequently improved by Takagi–Yoshida. We show that the original argument of [6] actually gives the same improvement. On the other hand, we show by examples that any further improvement based on the same technique appears unlikely. This is primarily an exposition; only some examples and remarks might be new.
