Abstract:
Let $C$ be an irreducible curve of degree $d$ in the complex projective plane. We assume that each singular point is a one place point with multiplicity 2 or 3. Let $\sigma$ be the sum of "the Milnor numbers" of the singularities. Then we shall show that $7\sigma < 6{d^2} - 9d$. This gives a necessary condition for the existence of such a curve, for example, if $C$ is rational, then $d \leq 10$.References
