    Existence of Singular Hypersurfaces 
 
   | 
      Problem: 
    Determine maximal number of
    triple points of type T3,3,3
    on a surface of degree 7 in
   P3.
   | 
  
 
 
We use the following facts:
 
  | 
      Fact 1: 
   | 
  
The singularities of type T3,3,3
form a µ-constant one parameter family given by
x3+ y3+ z3+ txyz =
0,  t3
 
-27.

  | 
      Fact 2:  | 
  
       The spectrum is constant
       under µ-constant deformations
       and has the following semi-continuity property:
    | 
  
 
    | 
   
 
  # ( spectral numbers of all singularities of a small deformation of
 f in  (a,a+1] )
 
 
  # ( spectral numbers of
  f in   (a,a+1] )
  
 | 
 
 | 
For semi-quasihomogeneous singularities: also true
for intervals (a,a+1).
