Nodal deformations of hypersurfaces with an ordinary m-fold point
Abstract
Let X⊂ 𝕆n be a nodal hypersurface of degree d with an ordinary m-fold point. Let δX be the largest value of δ such that X is contained in the closure of the Severi variety of degree d hypersurface in ℙn with δ nodes. After recalling how the semicontinuity of the spectrum yields an upper bound for δX, we produce various lower bounds for δX. These bounds are given by polynomials in m of degree n, with different leading coefficients. This improves previous bounds given by Ciliberto-Galati.

AB - Let X⊂ 𝕆^n be a nodal hypersurface of degree d with an ordinary m-fold point. Let δ_X be the largest value of δ such that X is contained in the closure of the Severi variety of degree d hypersurface in ℙ^n with δ nodes. After recalling how the semicontinuity of the spectrum yields an upper bound for δ_X, we produce various lower bounds for δ_X. These bounds are given by polynomials in m of degree n, with different leading coefficients. This improves previous bounds given by Ciliberto-Galati.
