    In the paper under review, the author studies the minimal value of global Tjurina numbers for line arrangements. Let \(S = \mathbb{C}[x,y,z]\) be the graded polynomial ring and let \(C : \, f=0\) be a reduced curve of degree \(d\) in the complex projective plane \(\mathbb{P}^{2}_{\mathbb{C}}\). The minimal degree of a Jacobian relation for \(f\) is the integer \(\mathrm{mdr}(f)\) defined to be the smallest integer \(m\geq 0\) such that there is a non-trivial relation \[a\frac{\partial \, f}{\partial \, x} +b \frac{\partial \, f}{\partial \, y} + c\frac{\partial \, f}{\partial \, z} = 0\] with \(a,b,c \in S_{m}\). For a curve \(C\) we denote by \(\tau(C)\) the global Tjurina number of \(C\) which is the sum of the local Tjurina numbers of the singular points of \(C\). If now \(C\) is an arrangement of lines, then the global Tjurina number coincides with the global Milnor number. Let \(\mathcal{A} : \, f = 0\) be an arrangement of \(d\) lines in the complex projective plane and \(r:=\mathrm{mdr}(f)\). Let us denote by \(m(\mathcal{A})\) the maximal multiplicity of a singular point in \(\mathcal{A}\) and let \(n(\mathcal{A})\) be the maximal multiplicity of a point in \(\mathcal{A} \setminus \{p\}\), where \(p\) is a point of multiplicity \(m(\mathcal{A})\). The main result of the paper can be formulated as follows. Main Result: Let \(\mathcal{A}: \, f=0\) be an arrangement of \(d\geq 4\) lines in \(\mathbb{P}^{2}\) which is not free. If we set \(r =\mathrm{mdr}(f)\geq 2\) and \(\tau_{\min}(d,r) = (d-1)(d-r-1)\), then the following hold: \begin{itemize} \item[i)] \(\tau(\mathcal{A}) \geq \tau_{\min}'(d,r) := \tau_{\min}(d,r) + \binom{r}{2} + \binom{n(\mathcal{A})}{2}+1\). \item[ii)] If \(r\neq d - m(\mathcal{A})\), then the following possibly stronger inequality holds: \[\tau(\mathcal{A}) \geq \tau_{\min}''(d,r) := \tau_{\min}(d,r) + \binom{r}{2} + \binom{m(\mathcal{A})}{2}+1.\] \end{itemize} Corollary. Let \(\mathcal{A} : \, f=0\) be an arrangement of \(d\) lines in \(\mathbb{P}^{2}\) which is not free such that \(r = \mathrm{mdr}(f) \geq 3\) and \(n(\mathcal{A}) \geq 3\). Then \[\tau(\mathcal{A}) \geq \tau^{N}_{\min}(d,r) = \tau_{\min}(d,r) + \binom{r}{2} + 4 \geq \tau_{\min}(d,r) + 7.\]
