Conjecture on recovering double-point structure from the scheme
Conjecture on recovering double-point structure from the scheme
Let be a rational plane curve with parameterization , and let be the scheme defined in Section 2. Assume that has only double points as singularities, write
and let be the corresponding subschemes of . For each , set
The multiple-line conjecture. For every , is curvilinear and . If is an singularity, then cuts two curvilinear schemes of length on , whose images under form a curvilinear subscheme of length of . If is an singularity, then is tangent to and cuts a curvilinear scheme of length on , whose image under is a curvilinear subscheme of length of .
The conjecture would make it possible to determine the structure and plane coordinates of the double points from and their preimages on ; equivalently, an singularity should be described by and its projection to .
