We initiate the study of a class of real plane algebraic curves which we call expressive. These are the curves whose defining polynomial has the smallest number of critical points allowed by the topology of the set of real points of a…
We consider quadrangles of perimeter $2$ in the plane with marked directed edge. To such quadrangle $Q$ a two-dimensional plane $\Pi\in\mathbb{R}^4$ with orthonormal base is corresponded. Orthogonal plane $\Pi^\bot$ defines a plane…
We use fine curve graph tools to prove that there exist parabolic isometries of graphs of curves associated to surfaces of infinite type.
The quotient of a finite-dimensional vector space by the action of a finite subgroup of automorphisms is usually a singular variety. Under appropriate assumptions, the McKay correspondence relates the geometry of nice resolutions of…
Oka manifolds can be viewed as the "opposite" of Kobayashi hyperbolic manifolds. Kobayashi asked whether the complement in projective space of a generic hypersurface of sufficiently high degree is hyperbolic. Therefore it is natural to…
Any quasi-isometry of the complex of curves is bounded distance from a simplicial automorphism. As a consequence, the quasi-isometry type of the curve complex determines the homeomorphism type of the surface.
We show that in many cases, the automorphism group of a curve and the permutation automorphism group of a corresponding AG code are the same. This generalizes a result of Wesemeyer beyond the case of planar curves.
We show that every automorphism of the Hilbert scheme of $n$ points on a weak Fano or general type surface is natural, i.e. induced by an automorphism of the surface, unless the surface is a product of curves and $n=2$. In the exceptional…
Nandakumar asked whether there is a tiling of the plane by pairwise non-congruent triangles of equal area and equal perimeter. Here a weaker result is obtained: there is a tiling of the plane by pairwise non-congruent triangles of equal…
Let A^2 denote the affine plane over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. Besides contributing several new results in the general theory of birational endomorphisms of A^2, this article describes certain classes of…
Hyperplanes and hyperplane complements in the Segre product of partial linear spaces are investigated . The parallelism of such a complement is characterized in terms of the point-line incidence. Assumptions, under which the automorphisms…
In [DJL07] it was shown that if A is an affine hyperplane arrangement in C^n, then at most one of the L^2-Betti numbers of its complement is non--zero. We will prove an analogous statement for complements of any algebraic curve in C^2.…
We show that there are five types of planar curves such that arrangements of its translates are combinatorially equivalent to an arrangement of lines. These curves can be used to define norms giving constructions with many unit distances…
The action of ring automorphisms of the polynomial ring in two variables over the real numbers on real plane curves is considered. The orbits containing degree-three polynomials are computed, with one representative per orbit being…
We proved that, in characteristic 0, if two dominant endomorphisms of the projective plane of degree at least 2 are conjugate by some birational transformation, then they are conjugate by an automorphism. We also gave counterexamples in…
We show that the hessian map of quartic plane curves is a birational morphism onto its image, thus bringing new evidence for a very interesting conjecture of Ciro Ciliberto and Giorgio Ottaviani. Our new approach also yields a simpler proof…
We show that the extended based mapping class group of an infinite-type surface is naturally isomorphic to the automorphism group of the loop graph of that surface. Additionally, we show that the extended mapping class group stabilizing a…
The notion of an unexpected curve in the plane was introduced in 2018, and was quickly generalized in several directions in a flurry of mathematical activity by many authors. In this expository paper we first describe some of the main…
We give a complete answer to the question of when two curves in two different Riemannian manifolds can be seen as trajectories of rolling one manifold on the other without twisting or slipping. We show that up to technical hypotheses, a…
We study cubic rational maps that take lines to plane curves. A complete description of such cubic rational maps concludes the classification of all planarizations, i.e., maps taking lines to plane curves.
