Singularities of some projective rational surfaces

From MaRDI portal





The singularities of some rational algebraic surfaces in complex projective spaces are studied. Formulas for the degree of the various types of singular loci in terms of invariants of the surface are given. One example studied is the surface \(X\) obtained by projecting the \(d\)--th Veronese embeddings of the plane \(\mathbb P^2\) to \(\mathbb P^3\) from a linear subspace \(L\subset \mathbb P^N\) of dimension \(N-4\), \(N=\left(\begin{smallmatrix} d+2\\2\end{smallmatrix}\right)-1\). Let \(\Gamma\) be the singular locus of \(X\) then \(\Gamma\) is a curve of degree at most \(\frac{1}{2}d(d-1)(d^2+d-3)\). Similarly the projection of the Segre surface, given by the Segre embedding of bidegree \((a,b)\) of \(\mathbb P^1\times \mathbb P^1\) in \(\mathbb P^N\), \(N=(a+1)(b+1)-1\), is studied. Here \(\deg(\Gamma)\leq 2a^2b^2-4ab+a+b\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 1054.65005].
