Base points of polar curves

Eduardo Casas-Alvero (1991)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

The base points of the system of polar curves of an irreducible algebroid plane curve with general moduli are determined. As consequences a lower bound for the Tjurina number and many continuous analytic invariants of the curve are found.

Brill–Noether loci for divisors on irregular varieties

Margarida Mendes Lopes, Rita Pardini, Pietro Pirola (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We take up the study of the Brill-Noether loci W r ( L , X ) : = { η Pic 0 ( X ) | h 0 ( L η ) r + 1 } , where X is a smooth projective variety of dimension > 1 , L Pic ( X ) , and r 0 is an integer. By studying the infinitesimal structure of these loci and the Petri map (defined in analogy with the case of curves), we obtain lower bounds for h 0 ( K D ) , where D is a divisor that moves linearly on a smooth projective variety X of maximal Albanese dimension. In this way we sharpen the results of [Xi] and we generalize them to dimension > 2 . In the 2 -dimensional case we prove an...
