Homaloidal nets and ideals of fat points II: Subhomaloidal nets

    https://doi.org/10.1142/S0218196717500333Cited by:3 (Source: Crossref)

    This work is a natural sequel to a previous paper by the authors in that it tackles problems of the same nature. Here, one aims at the ideal theoretic and homological properties of an ideal of general plane fat points for which the corresponding second symbolic power has virtual multiplicities of a proper homaloidal type. For this purpose, one carries a detailed examination of the underlying linear system at the initial degree, where a good deal of the results depends on the method of the classical arithmetic quadratic transformations of Hudson–Nagata. A subsidiary guide to understand these ideals through their initial linear systems has been supplied by questions of birationality with source 2 and target higher dimensional spaces. This leads, in particular, to the retrieval of birational maps studied by Geramita–Gimigliano–Pitteloud, including a few of the celebrated Bordiga–White parameterizations.
