Deletion-addition of a smooth conic for free curves
Abstract
We describe the behaviour of a free reduced plane projective curve with respect to the deletion, respectively addition, of a smooth conic. These results apply in particular to conic-line arrangements. We present some obstructions to the geometry and combinatorics of a free reduced curve, generalizing results known a priori only for free projective line arrangements.
