Continuing the work of Chiantini and Ciliberto (1999) on the Severi varieties of curves on surfaces in P3, we complete the proof of the existence of regular components for such varieties. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 14H10, 14B07. 1. Introduction. Let be a line bundle on a smooth surface S . Fix a positive integer δ and the Severi variety V 0 is defined as the subscheme of | | consisting of irre- ,δ ducible curves in | | with δ nodes and no other singularities. This scheme, or some- times, its closure V,δ in | | is called the Severi variety of curves with δ nodes in | |. The Severi variety V 0 , if not empty, has the dimension at least max {dim | |−δ, −1}, ,δ where max {dim | 0 |−δ, −1} is called the expected dimension of V,δ . A reduced com- ponent of V 0 that has the expected dimension is called a regular component of ,δ V 0 . ,δ The Severi varieties of plane curves have been classically extensively studied. It is natural to study the Severi varieties on other surfaces. The Severi varieties of surfaces in P3 were studied in [2]. Let S be a smooth surface of degree d in P3 and let |S (n)| be the linear series on S cut out by the degree n surfaces in |P 3 |. We use the notation V 0 (S) to denote the Severi variety of curves with δ nodes in |S (n)|. It was proved n,δ in [2] that for S general, n ≥ d and all δ with 0 ≤ δ ≤ dim(| 0
