    Nodal surfaces with obstructed deformations

    Full text link
    In this text we show that the deformation space of a nodal surface XX of degree dd is smooth and of the expected dimension if d7d\leq 7 or d8d\geq 8 and XX has at most 4d54d-5 nodes. (The case d7d\leq 7 was previously covered by Alexandru Dimca by using different techniques.) For d8d\geq 8 we give explicit examples of nodal surfaces with 4d44d-4 nodes, for which the tangent space to the deformation space has larger dimension than expected. We give a short discussion on the shape of the deformation space of surfaces of the form f1f2+f32f4f_1f_2+f_3^2f_4, where f1f_1 is a linear form.v2: Added a reference to a similar result by Alexandru Dimca and a discussion on the difference between Dimca\u27s result and ours v3: Expanded several argument

    v3. Some applications to the deformation theory of nodal surfaces in P3\mathbb{P}^3 are addedWe give sharp lower bounds for the degree of the syzygies involving the partial derivatives of a homogeneous polynomial defining an even dimensional nodal hypersurface. This implies the validity of formulas due to M. Saito, L. Wotzlaw and the author for the graded pieces with respect to the Hodge filtration of the top cohomology of the hypersurface complement in many new cases. A classical result by Severi on the position of the singularities of a nodal surface in P3\mathbb{P}^3 is improved and applications to deformation theory of nodal surfaces are given

    AbstractUsing the theory of the mixed Hodge structure one can define a notion of spectrum of a singularity or of a polynomial. Recently Claus Hertling proposed a conjecture about the variance of the spectrum of a singularity. Alexandru Dimca proposed a similar conjecture on polynomials. Here, we prove these two conjectures in the case of dimension 2 and when the singularity or the polynomial is Newton non-degenerated and commode
