Abstract: We provide a structural generalization of a theorem by Kleiman--Piene, concerning the enumerative geometry of nodal curves in a complete linear system |L| on a smooth projective surface S. Provided that r, the number of nodes, is sufficiently small compared to the ampleness of the linear system, we show that, under certain assumptions, the number of r-nodal curves passing through points in general position on S is given by a Bell polynomial in universally defined integers a_i(S,L), which we identify, using classical intersection theory, as linear, integral polynomials evaluated in four basic Chern numbers. Furthermore, we provide a decomposition of the a_i as a sum of three terms with distinct geometric interpretations, and discuss the relationship between these polynomials and Kazarian's Thom polynomials for multisingularities of maps.

Review text

For a smooth projective surface \(S\) and a linear system \(|L|\) let \(N_r\) be the degree of the locus of \(r\)-nodal curves. It is known from the Göttsche conjecture that \(N_r\) is a polynomial of the four relevant numbers of the situation. An earlier paper of the author proves that \(r!N_r=P_r(a_1,\ldots,a_r)\) where \(P_r\) is the \(r\)th complete exponential Bell polynomial and \(a_i\) are universal integer coefficient linear polynomials of the four numbers.NEWLINENEWLINEIn this paper, the author gives an intersection theoretic interpretation of the \(a_i\) linear forms. In addition the relation of the results with \textit{M. È. Kazaryan}'s [Russ. Math. Surv. 58, No. 4, 665--724 (2003); translation from Usp. Mat. Nauk 58, No. 4, 29--88 (2003; Zbl 1062.58039)] multi-singularity formulas is discussed.
