Freeness versus maximal degree of the singular subscheme for surfaces in $P^3$

Algebraic Geometry 2017-08-30 v2

Abstract

We show that a free surface in P3P^3 is characterized by the maximality of the degree of its singular subscheme, in the presence of an additional tameness condition. This is similar to the characterization of free plane curves by the maximality of their global Tjurina number given by A. A. du Plessis and C.T.C. Wall. Simple characterizations of the nearly free tame surfaces are also given.
