Chudnovsky's Conjecture for very general points in $\mathbb{P}_k^{N}$

Abstract: We prove a long-standing conjecture of Chudnovsky for very general and generic points in $\mathbb{P}_k^N$, where $k$ is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and for any finite set of points lying on a quadric, without any assumptions on $k$. We also prove that for any homogeneous ideal $I$ in the homogeneous coordinate ring $R=k[x_0, \ldots, x_N]$, Chudnovsky's conjecture holds for large enough symbolic powers of $I$.
