Abstract

Let SS and TT be reduced divisors on P2\mathbb{P}^2 which have no common components, and Δ=S+2T.\Delta=S+2\,T. We assume degΔ=6.\deg\Delta=6. Let π:XP2\pi:X\to\mathbb{P}^2 be a normal triple cover with branch divisor Δ,\Delta, i.e. π\pi is ramified along SS (resp. TT) with the index 2 (resp. 3). In this note, we show that XX is either a P1\mathbb{P}^1-bundle over an elliptic curve or a normal cubic surface in P3.\mathbb{P}^3. Consequently, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for Δ\Delta to be the branch divisor of a normal triple cover over P2.\mathbb{P}^2.
