On the Severi problem
From MaRDI portal
Let \({\mathbb{P}}^ N\) be the projective space of plane curves of degree d and let \(V^{d,g}\) be the closure in \({\mathbb{P}}^ N\) of the locus of reduced, irreducible curves of genus g. \textit{F. Severi} [Vorlesungen über algebraische Geometrie (1921), pp. 307-353] gave a proof that \(V^{d,g}\) is an irreducible variety. Apparently, Severi's proof was incorrect [\textit{W. Fulton}, Algebraic Geometry - open problems, Proc. Conf., Ravello/Italy 1982, Lecture Notes Math. 997, 146-155 (1983; Zbl 0514.14012)]. Here, a proof is given along the lines suggested by Severi. It is sufficient to show that every component of \(V^{d,g}\) contains a component of \(V^{d,g-1}\). The proof requires much complicated detail, but it is done by essentially classical techniques such as degeneration of varieties. It is a most impressive result.
