Abstract We study the BPS invariants for local del Pezzo surfaces, which can be obtained as the signed Euler characteristic of the moduli spaces of stable one-dimensional sheaves on the surface $S$. We calculate the Poincaré polynomials of the moduli spaces for the curve classes $\beta $ having arithmetic genus at most 2. We formulate a conjecture that these Poincaré polynomials are divisible by the Poincaré polynomials of $((-K_S).\beta -1)$-dimensional projective space. This conjecture motivates the upcoming work on log BPS numbers [8].

It is a familiar fact that the arithmetic genus pa and the arithmetic linear genus ω of a general surface are linear functions of its four projective characters; and we find by direct calculation that a similar property holds for the numerical invariants of a general threefold. The question thus arises, whether this result can be established a priori for any algebraic variety Vk of general type, since in that case we should have a simple means of determining its numerical invariants. It has been shown by Severi that, subject to a certain assumption, the arithmetic genus pk of Vk is a function of its projective characters, while it is known that, for k ≤ 4, pk coincides with the arithmetic genus Pa obtained by the second definition (§ 5). In the present paper we obtain, by using Severi's postulate, expressions for the arithmetic genera of a V3 and a V4 in terms of their projective characters. We obtain also the characters of their virtual canonical systems and hence derive formulae for the relative invariants Ωi. For this purpose we replace certain projective characters of Vk by others which are more easily computed and better adapted to a simple notation.

Let ${\rm Hilb}^{6t-3}(\mathbb{P}^3)$ be the Hilbert scheme of closed 1-dimensional subschemes of degree 6 and arithmetic genus 4 in $\mathbb{P}^3$. Let $H$ be the component of ${\rm Hilb}^{6t-3}(\mathbb{P}^3)$ whose generic point corresponds to a canonical curve, that is, a complete intersection of a quadric and a cubic surface in $\mathbb{P}^3$. Let $F$ be the vector space of linear forms in the variables $z_1, z_2, z_3, z_4$. Denote by $F_d$ the vector space of homogeneous forms of degree $d$. Set $X = \{(f_2,f_3)\}$ where $f_2 \in \mathbb{P}(F_2)$ is a quadric surface, and $f_3 \in \mathbb{P}(F_3/f_2 \cdot F)$ is a cubic modulo $f_2$. We have a rational map, $\sigma : X \cdots \rightarrow H$ defined by $(f_2,f_3) \mapsto f_2 \cap f_3$. It fails to be regular along the locus where $f_2$ and $f_3$ acquire a common linear component. Our main result gives an explicit resolution of the indeterminacies of $\sigma$ as well as of the singularities of $H$. 2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: 14C05, 14N05, 14N10, 14N15.

Abstract We give a precise classification of the pairs (C, B͠) with C a smooth curve of genus g and B͠ ⊂ C(2) a curve of degree two and positive self-intersection. We prove that there are no such pairs if g < pa(B͠) < 2g−1. We study the singularities and self-intersection of any degree two curve in C(2). Moreover, we give examples of curves with arithmetic genus in the Brill–Noether range and positive self-intersection on C × C.
