Maximizing curves viewed as free curves

Algebraic Geometry 2024-11-12 v4 Combinatorics

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to provide a direct link between maximizing curves that occur in the construction of smooth algebraic surfaces having the maximal possible Picard numbers and reduced free plane curves with simple singularities. We also investigate odd degree plane curves with simple singularities having maximal total Tjurina number.
