SOME RESULTS OF REGULARITY FOR SEVERI VARIETIES OF PROJECTIVE SURFACES

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: For a linear system |C| on a smooth projective surface S, whose general element is a smooth, irreducible curve, the Severi variety V|C|,delta is the locally closed subscheme of |C| which parametrizes irreducible curves with only delta nodes as singularities. In this paper we give numerical conditions on the class of divisors and upper-bounds on delta ensuring that the corresponding Severi variety is everywhere smooth of codimension delta in |C| (regular, for short). In particular, we focus on surfaces of general type, since for such surfaces less is known than what is proven for other cases. Our result generalizes some results of Chiantini-Sernesi (1997) and of Greuel-Lossen-Shustin (1997 - in the case of nodes) as it is shown by some examples of Severi varieties on blown-up surfaces or surfaces in P3 which are elements of a component of the Noether-Lefschetz locus. We also consider examples of regular Severi varieties on surfaces in P3 of general type which contain a line.
