Title
Freeness and invariants of rational plane curves
Abstract
Given a parameterization phi of a rational plane curve C, we study some invariants of C via phi. We first focus on the characterization of rational cuspidal curves, in particular, we establish a relation between the discriminant of the pull-back of a line via phi, the dual curve of C, and its singular points. Then, by analyzing the pull-backs of the global differential forms via phi, we prove that the (nearly) freeness of a rational curve can be tested by inspecting the Hilbert function of the kernel of a canonical map. As a by-product, we also show that the global Tjurina number of a rational curve can be computed directly from one of its parameterization, without relying on the computation of an equation of C.
