Cusps and Codes

Equations of low-degree Projective Surfaces with three-divisible Sets of Cusps

Let Y be a surface with only finitely many singularities all of which are cusps. A set of cusps on Y is called three-divisible, if there is a cyclic global triple cover of Y branched precisely over these cusps. The aim of this note is to determine the equations of surfaces $Y \subset P_3$ of degrees $\leq 6$ carrying a minimal, non-empty, three-divisible set.

On quartics with three-divisible sets of cusps

We study the geometry and codes of quartic surfaces with many cusps. We apply Gröbner bases to find examples of various configurations of cusps on quartics.

On Chisini's Conjecture. II

It is proved that if $S\subset \mathbb P^N$ is a smooth projective surface and $f:S\to \mathbb P^2$ is a generic linear projection branched over a cuspidal curve $B\subset \mathbb P^2$, then the surface $S$ is determined uniquely up to an isomorphism of $S$ by the curve $B$.

On a Chisini Conjecture

Chisini's conjecture asserts that for a cuspidal curve $B\subset \mathbb P^2$ a generic morphism $f$ of a smooth projective surface onto $\mathbb P^2$ of degree $\geq 5$, branched along $B$, is unique up to isomorphism. We prove that if $°f$ is greater than the value of some function depending on the degree, genus, and number of cusps of $B$, then the Chisini conjecture holds for $B$. This inequality holds for many different generic morphisms. In particular, it holds for a generic morphism given by a linear subsystem of the $m$th canonical class for almost all surfaces with ample canonical cla…
