We study the number of elliptic curves, up to isomorphism, over a fixed quartic field $K$ having a prescribed torsion group $T$ as a subgroup. Let $T=\Z/m\Z \oplus \Z/n\Z$, where $m|n$, be a torsion group such that the modular curve…
We reformulate a fundamental result due to Cook, Harbourne, Migliore and Nagel on the existence and irreduciblity of unexpected plane curves of a set of points $Z$ in $\mathbb{P}^2$, using the minimal degree of a Jacobian syzygy of the…
We classify simple parametrisations of complex curve singularities. Simple means that all neighbouring singularities fall in finitely many equivalence classes. We take the neighbouring singularities to be the ones occurring in the versal…
The defect of a curve over a finite field is the difference between the number of rational points on the curve and the Weil-Serre upper bound for the number of points on the curve. We present algorithms for constructing curves of genus 5,…
In this note we focus on the defect of singular plane curve that was recently introduced by Dimca. Roughly speaking, the defect of a reduced plane curve measures the discrepancy from the property of being a free curve. We find some…
Given a real hyperelliptic algebraic curve $X$ with non-empty real part and a real effective divisor $\mc{D}$ arising via pullback from $\mathbb{P}^1$ under the hyperelliptic structure map, we study the real inflection points of the…
We produce curves with a record number of points over the finite fields with $4$, $9$, $16$ and $25$ elements, as unramified abelian covers of algebraic curves.
In arXiv:1505.04338(4), G. Mikhalkin introduced a refined count for the real rational curves in a toric surface which pass through certain conjugation invariant set of points on the toric boundary of the surface. Such a set consists of real…
We determine all the quadratic points on the genus $13$ modular curve $X_0(163)$, thus completing the answer to a recent question of Banwait, the second-named author, and Padurariu. In doing so, we investigate a curious phenomenon involving…
We show that manifolds admitting special generic maps also admit nice generalized multisections. Special generic maps are natural generalized versions of Morse functions with exactly two singular points on closed manifolds, characterizing…
Given a real curve, we study special linear systems called "very special" for which the dimension does not satisfy a Clifford type inequality. We classify all these very special linear systems when the gonality of the curve is small.
In this study, we determine all modular curves $X_0(N)$ that admit infinitely many cubic points.
Let $C: y^2=ax^4+bx^2+c$, be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb Q$. A set of rational points $(x_i,y_i) \in C(\mathbb Q)$, $i=1,2,\cdots,$ is said to be a sequence of consecutive squares if $x_i= (u + i)^2$, $i=1,2,\cdots$, for some…
In the article, we exhibit a series of new examples of rigid plane curves, that is, curves, whose collection of singularities determines them almost uniquely up to a projective transformation of the plane.
Throughout this paper we study the existence of irreducible curves C on smooth projective surfaces S with singular points of prescribed topological types S_1,...,S_r. There are necessary conditions for the existence of the type \sum_{i=1}^r…
Recently Fukasawa, Homma and Kim introduced and studied certain projective singular curves over $\mathbb {F}_q$ with many extremal properties. Here we extend their definition to more general non-rational curves.
We give some new congruences for singular real algebraic curves which generalize Fiedler's congruence for nonsingular curves.
It is very fundamental to study irreducible plane curve singularities in algebraic geometry. The contents of the paper consist of three parts, called Part[A], Part[B] and Part[C] with Good Appendix. Our aim is to prove by Part[B] and…
We describe the singularities and related properties of the arrangement of 21 reducible polars of Klein's quartic, containing Klein's well-known arrangement of $21$ lines.
We describe a natural open stratum in the moduli space of smooth real pointed quartic curves in the projective plane. This stratum consists of real isomorphism classes of pairs $(C, p)$ with $p$ a real point on the curve $C$ such that the…
