Interpolation matrices and jumping lines of logarithmic bundles
Abstract
We study jumping lines loci of logarithmic bundles associated with finite sets of points in the projective plane. Using the interpolation matrix introduced in [DMTG25], we describe these loci as the zero sets of explicit determinants depending on parameters (d,m) determined by the number of points. We show that for points in general position the determinant defines an irreducible curve of the expected degree, while for special configurations it acquires fixed components related to the combinatorics of the arrangement. The approach provides a new geometric interpretation of the classical jumping lines of Dolgachev--Kapranov and Barth, and connects them to the framework of unexpected curves and hypersurfaces.
