Abstract: Consider a rational projective plane curve C parameterized by three homogeneous forms h1,h2,h3 of the same degree d in the polynomial ring R=k[x,y] over the field k. Extracting a common factor, we may harmlessly assume that the ideal I=(h1,h2,h3)R has height two. Let phi be a homogeneous minimal Hilbert-Burch matrix for the row vector [h1,h2,h3]. So, phi is a 3 by 2 matrix of homogeneous forms from R; the entries in column m have degree dm, with d1 le d2 and d1+d2=d. The Rees algebra calR of I is the subring k[h1t,h2t,h3t] of the polynomial ring k[t]. The bi-projective spectrum of calR is the graph of the parameterization of C; and therefore, there is a dictionary which translates between the singularities of C and the algebra structure of calR. The ring calR is the quotient of the symmetric algebra Sym(I) by the ideal, A, of local cohomology with support in the homogeneous maximal ideal of R. The ideal A_{ge d2-1}, which is an approximation of A, can be calculated using linkage. We exploit the bi-graded structure of Sym(I) in order to describe the structure of an improved approximation A_{ge d1-1} when d1<d2 and phi has a generalized zero in its first column. (The later condition is equivalent to assuming that C has a singularity of multiplicity d2.) In particular, we give the bi-degrees of a minimal bi-homogeneous generating set for this ideal. When 2=d1<d2 and phi has a generalized zero in its first column, then we record explicit generators for A. When d1=d2, we provide a translation between the bi-degrees of a bi-homogeneous minimal generating set for A_{d1-2} and the number of singularities of multiplicity d1 which are on or infinitely near C. We conclude with a table which translates between the bi-degrees of a bi-homogeneous minimal generating set for A and the configuration of singularities of C in the case that the curve C has degree six.
