Components of simple and non--simple type of Hurwitz schemes
Ciro Ciliberto, Andreas Leopold Knutsen, Sara Torelli
Let , with , be the Hurwitz space, parametrizing all morphisms of degree , with points $x_1,\…
Contact Invariants for Plane Curves in a Pencil
Ciro Ciliberto, Rick Miranda, Joaquim Roe
Let $\calP$ be a general pencil of curves of degree in the projective plane. In this paper we review the computation of the number of curves in $\calP$ that have a hyperflex li…
On the Hurwitz existence problem for branched covers of the projective line
Ciro Ciliberto, Andreas Leopold Knutsen, Sara Torelli
We give an alternative proof of the Hurwitz existence problem for branched covers of in the case where the number of ramification points equals the number of branch…
A remark on isolated complex hypersurface singularities
Fabrizio Catanese, Ciro Ciliberto, Concettina Galati
This is now an expository note about the following classical problem. Let be the germ of a hypersurface in with an ordinary singularity of multip…
Constructions for rational multiple planes
Ciro Ciliberto, Rick Miranda
A finite, normal cover $f: X\longrightarrow \bbP^2$ of degree (the case is well known and we do not consider it in this paper) is called \emph{simple}, if there is…
2--elementary rational covers of the plane
Ciro Ciliberto
In this paper I classify, up to Cremona transformations, the Galois cover of the plane with Galois group of the form .
