The type of a complex projective plane curve has been recently introduced by T. Abe, P. Pokora and the first author. In the same paper they have studied the type two curves. In this paper we study plane curves of type three, with special…
We present an axiomatic approach to finite- and infinite-dimensional differential calculus over arbitrary infinite fields (and, more generally, suitable rings). The corresponding basic theory of manifolds and Lie groups is developed.…
We use class field theory to search for curves with many rational points over small finite fields. By going through abelian covers of curves of small genus we find a number of new curves. In particular, we settle the question of how many…
We complete the solution of the relative class number one problem for function fields of curves over finite fields. Using work from two earlier papers, this reduces to finding all function fields of genus 6 or 7 over $\mathbb{F}_2$ with one…
A basis of the ideal of the complement of a linear subspace in a projective space over a finite field is given. As an application, the second largest number of points of plane curves of degree $d$ over the finite field of $q$ elements is…
Working over a field ${\mathbb{k}}$ of characteristic $\ne 2$, we study what we call bisector fields, which are arrangements of paired lines in the plane that have the property that each line in the arrangement crosses the paired lines in…
We give a sharp lower bound on the area of the domain enclosed by an embedded curve lying on a two-dimensional sphere, provided that geodesic curvature of this curve is bounded from below. Furthermore, we prove some dual inequalities for…
The area distance to a convex plane curve is an important concept in computer vision. In this paper we describe a strong link between area distances and improper affine spheres. This link makes possible a better understanding of both…
Inside the moduli space of curves of genus 2 with 2 marked points we consider the loci of curves admitting a map to P^1 of degree d totally ramified over the two marked points, for d>= 2. Such loci have codimension two. We compute the class…
We study points of moderately low degree on a curve $C$ over a number field, which is embedded on a nice toric surface $S$. Recently, Smith and Vogt related the linear equivalence classes of such points to intersections of $C$ with curves…
We present an algorithm for computing curves and families of curves of prescribed degree and geometric genus on real rational surfaces.

This article is a short introduction to the theory of the groups of points of elliptic curves over finite fields. It is concerned with the elementary theory and practice of elliptic curves cryptography, the new generation of public key…
We show that the geometric classification of smooth projective curves admitting infinitely many points of degree $d\leq 5$ extends from number fields to function fields of characteristic 0. Over number fields, this classification was…
We formulate and prove a generalized Albanese property for families of maps from a smooth curve over an arbitrary field into a commutative group stack. Our proof, which is mostly self-contained, employs local-to-global techniques and some…
We study the distribution of algebraic points on curves in abelian varieties over finite fields.
