Equigeneric and equisingular families of curves on surfaces

We investigate the following question: let C be an integral curve contained in a smooth complex algebraic surface X; is it possible to deform C in X into a nodal curve while preserving its geometric genus? We armatively answer it in most cases when X is a Del Pezzo or Hirzebruch surface (this is due...

Sumario:We investigate the following question: let C be an integral curve contained in a smooth complex algebraic surface X; is it possible to deform C in X into a nodal curve while preserving its geometric genus? We armatively answer it in most cases when X is a Del Pezzo or Hirzebruch surface (this is due to Arbarello and Cornalba, Zariski, and Harris), and in some cases when X is a K3 surface. Partial results are given for all surfaces with numerically trivial canonical class. We also give various examples for which the answer is negative.
