On the splitting types of bundles of logarithmic vector fields along plane curves

Algebraic Geometry 2019-09-17 v1 Combinatorics

Abstract

We give a formula relating the total Tjurina number and the generic splitting type of the bundle of logarithmic vector fields associated to a reduced plane curve. By using it, we give a characterization of nearly free curves in terms of splitting types. Several applications to free and nearly free arrangements of lines are also given, in particular a proof of a form of Terao's Conjecture for arrangements having a line with at most 4 intersection points.
