Even sets of nodes on sextic surfaces

Fabrizio Catanese, Fabio Tonoli (2007)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We determine the possible even sets of nodes on sextic surfaces in 3 , showing in particular that their cardinalities are exactly the numbers in the set { 24 , 32 , 40 , 56 } . We also show that all the possible cases admit an explicit description. The methods that we use are an interplay of coding theory and projective geometry on one hand, and of homological and computer algebra on the other. We give a detailed geometric construction for the new case of an even set of 56 nodes, but the ultimate verification of existence...

Exceptional singular -homology planes

Karol Palka (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We consider singular -acyclic surfaces with smooth locus of non-general type. We prove that if the singularities are topologically rational then the smooth locus is 1 - or * -ruled or the surface is up to isomorphism one of two exceptional surfaces of Kodaira dimension zero. For both exceptional surfaces the Kodaira dimension of the smooth locus is zero and the singular locus consists of a unique point of type A 1 and A 2 respectively.

Explicit birational geometry of threefolds of general type, I

Jungkai A. Chen, Meng Chen (2010)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Let V be a complex nonsingular projective 3-fold of general type. We prove P 12 ( V ) : = dim H 0 ( V , 12 K V ) > 0 and P m 0 ( V ) > 1 for some positive integer m 0 24 . A direct consequence is the birationality of the pluricanonical map ϕ m for all m 126 . Besides, the canonical volume Vol ( V ) has a universal lower bound ν ( 3 ) 1 63 · 126 2 .

Explicit resolutions of double point singularities of surfaces.

Alberto Calabri, Rita Ferraro (2002)

Collectanea Mathematica

Locally analytically, any isolated double point occurs as a double cover of a smooth surface. It can be desingularized explicitly via the canonical resolution, as it is very well-known. In this paper we explicitly compute the fundamental cycle of both the canonical and minimal resolution of a double point singularity and we classify those for which the fundamental cycle differs from the fiber cycle. Moreover we compute the conditions that a double point singularity imposes to pluricanonical systems....
