    0 references
    This paper is concerned with the existence of families of projective plane curves with given singularities. The main result is: NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINETheorem. Let \(m\geq 9\). There exists an equisingular family (ESF) of irreducible plane curves with \(r\) ordinary \(m\)-fold points as only singularities having at least one smooth component of the expected dimension and at least one component of a nonexpected dimension. Moreover the fundamental group \(\pi_{1}(\mathbb P^2\setminus C)\) is abelian for any curve \(C\) in the ESF.
