Abstract
Let IX be the saturated homogeneous ideal defining a codimension two arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay scheme (Formula presented.) and let (Formula presented.) denote its m-th symbolic power. We are interested in when (Formula presented.) We survey what is known about this problem when X is locally a complete intersection, and in particular, we review the classification of when (Formula presented.) for all (Formula presented.) We then discuss how one might weaken these hypotheses, but still obtain equality between the symbolic and ordinary powers. Finally, we show that this classification allows one to: (1) simplify known results about symbolic powers of ideals of points in (Formula presented.) (2) verify a conjecture of Guardo, Harbourne, and Van Tuyl, and (3) provide additional evidence to a conjecture of Römer.
