Extract

In this paper we consider complex projective surfaces V, defined by an equation of the form fn–1 (x, y, z) w + fn (x, y, z) = 0, where fi is homogeneous of degree i, and relate the geometry of the intersections of the piane projective curves fn–1 = 0 and fn = 0 with the singularities of V. The results we obtain clarify and generalize some of those presented by Bruce and Wall (3).
