Codimension formula for Severi varieties of unicuspidal rational curves
Codimension formula for Severi varieties of unicuspidal rational curves
Let , and let be the subvariety of maps with a unique cuspidal singularity having semigroup and ramification profile . Assume . For , let be the number of elements of strictly greater than . Codimension conjecture.
Here , , and are the combinatorial quantities defined from the semigroup and ramification profile in the preceding setup. The formula predicts the codimension of the corresponding Severi variety, accounting for both ramification conditions and the additional conditions imposed by Betti elements. The supplied text gives no evidence that the conjecture has been resolved.
