The starting point

LC, Edoardo Sernesi

Nodal curves on surfaces of general type.

Math. Ann. 307 (1997), 41-56

Severi varieties of surfaces

Varieties which parameterize singular

(nodal)

curves in a fixed linearsystem on a non-singular surface.

The name comes from Severi’s result on the varieties which parameterizesingular nodal curves in P2.

Some results

Problems

irreducibility? connectedness? non-emptiness?

smoothness?

dimension? (expected dimension = max{−1, dim |LD | − δ).

Many classical and modern authors found results on the problems above,when the surface S is P2,

or more in general when S is rational, K3, etc.

Main tool

Non-speciality of the normal sheaf of the desigularization C → C of C .

When S has general type, the previous tool fails and one needs new ideasof investigation.

S of general type

New idea (Edoardo)

Let C ∈ |LD | be a nodal curve. Call N the set of δ nodes of C .

The tangent space to C in |LD | can be identified with

H0(OS(LD))/ < C >

The tangent space to C in Vδ,D can be identified with

H0(IN(LD))/ < C >

If Vδ,D is not smooth of codimension δ at C , then N fails to imposeindependent conditions to LD .

S of general type

New idea (Edoardo)

If Vδ,D is not smooth of codimension δ at C , then N fails to imposeindependent conditions to LD . So the map H0(OS(LD))→ H0(ON) = Cδhas a non-trivial cokernel.

By Serre’s construction, this yields a rank 2 bundle E with a global sectionvanishing at N (or at some non-empty subset N0 of N). ([GH]).The Chern classes of E are:

c1(E) = LD − KS ;

c2(E) = deg(N0) ≤ δ.

When c1(E)2 − 4c2(E) > 0, the bundle E is Bogomolov unstable,

thus there exists a destabilizing divisor M.

h0(E(−M)) > 0 and (2M − c1(E))KS > 0.

Then, work with the arithmetic of S ,M,KS , LD , in order to exclude theexistence of M.

S of general type

Theorem (LC, E. Sernesi)

Let S be a smooth surface such that KS is ample and let C be anirreducible curve on S such that C =num pKS ; p ≥ 2; p ∈ Q and the linearsystem LD of C has smooth general member D. Assume that C has δ ≥ 1nodes and no other singularities.If δ < p(p − 2)K 2

S/4, then Vδ,D is smooth of codimension δ at C .

Corollary

Let S be a smooth surface of degree d ≥ 5 in P3 with plane section H.Assume that C ∈ |nH| has δ nodes and no other singularities and

δ <nd(n − 2d + 8)

4.

Then Vδ,nH is smooth of codimension δ at the point C .

The result of the corollary is sharp, at least for d = 5.

S of general type

Theorem (LC, E. Sernesi)

Let S be a smooth surface such that KS is ample and let C be anirreducible curve on S such that C =num pKS ; p ≥ 2; p ∈ Q and the linearsystem LD of C has smooth general member D. Assume that C has δ ≥ 1nodes and no other singularities.If δ < p(p − 2)K 2

S/4, then Vδ,D is smooth of codimension δ at C .

Corollary

Let S be a smooth surface of degree d ≥ 5 in P3 with plane section H.Assume that C ∈ |nH| has δ nodes and no other singularities and

δ <nd(n − 2d + 8)

4.

Then Vδ,nH is smooth of codimension δ at the point C .

The result of the corollary is sharp, at least for d = 5.

Question: characterize triple-point defective surfaces

Triple-point defective surfaces = surfaces satisfying one Laplace equationof the second order = surfaces such that a triple point imposes only 5conditions to the polarization.

CLASSICALLY

C. Segre and T.G. Room apparently stated that

“every triple-point defective surface is ruled”.

Dye’s example (1992)

This is not true in general.Dye found an example of a special smooth intersection of three quadrics inP5 which is triple-point defective but contains only a finite number of lines.

Question: characterize triple-point defective surfaces

Triple-point defective surfaces = surfaces satisfying one Laplace equationof the second order = surfaces such that a triple point imposes only 5conditions to the polarization.

CLASSICALLY

C. Segre and T.G. Room apparently stated that

“every triple-point defective surface is ruled”.

Dye’s example (1992)

This is not true in general.Dye found an example of a special smooth intersection of three quadrics inP5 which is triple-point defective but contains only a finite number of lines.

Theorem (LC and T. Markwig)

Let L be a very ample line bundle on S , such that L− KS is ample andbase-point-free.Assume moreover that (L− KS)2 > 16. Let S be triple-point defective.Then S is ruled in the embedding defined by L. Moreover, for P ∈ Sgeneral, curves C ∈ |L− 3P| contain the ruling through P as a fixedcomponent with multiplicity at least two.

It is a sort of analogue of Segre’s conjecture, but of course it requires nontrivial numerical and non-numerical hypothesis.

Examples of ruled surfaces satisfying the assumption (and theirdescription) can be found in:LC and Thomas Markwig, Triple-Point Defective Ruled Surfaces, J. Pure Appl.Alg. 212, n.6 (2008), 1337–1346.

– Try to use other unstability conditions.

The method produces a vector bundle only if the equisingulardeformation scheme is (locally) complete intersection, which holdsonly for double and triple points.

– Try to use torsion free sheaves, or use sheaves in a smarter way.

Weakness

The method only applies when several numerical conditions aresatisfied (due to the fact that one wants the bundle E to beBogomolov unstable).
