Bourbaki modules and the module of Jacobian derivations of projective hypersurfaces

Alexandru Dimca, Gabriel Sticlaru

Two properties of projective hypersurfaces related to the module of Jacobian derivations, namely being tame and being plus-one generated, are discussed in this paper. Tame hypersur…

Plus-one generated curves, Briançon-type polynomials and eigenscheme ideals

Alexandru Dimca, Gabriel Sticlaru

We define the minimal plus-one generated curves and prove a result explaining why they are the closest relatives of the free curves, after the nearly free curves. Then we look at t…

Curves with Jacobian syzygies of the same degree

Alexandru Dimca, Gabriel Sticlaru

In this notes we study complex projective plane curves whose graded module of Jacobian syzygies is generated by its minimal degree component. Examples of such curves include the sm…
