After being open for 90 years, a series of papers by J. Alexander and A. Hirschowitz in 1992–1995 settled this question in what is referred to as the Alexander-Hirschowitz theorem. In this paper we primarily use commutative algebra to lay the groundwork necessary to prove analogous statements in the <em>weighted projective space</em>, a natural generalization of the projective space. We prove the Hilbert function of general simple points in any <em>n</em>-dimensional weighted projective space exhibits the expected behavior. We also introduce an inductive procedure for weighted projective space, similar to that originally due to A. Terracini from 1915, to demonstrate an example of a weighted projective plane where the analogue of the Alexander-Hirschowitz theorem holds without exceptions and prove our example is the only such plane. Furthermore, Terracini's lemma regarding secant varieties is adapted to give an interpolation bound for an infinite family of weighted projective planes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54770,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra","volume":"230 1","pages":"Article 108167"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145926216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
