Let C be a 2-connected Gorenstein curve either reduced or contained in a smooth algebraic surface and let S be a subcanonical cluster (i.e. a 0-dim scheme such that the space H^0(C, I_S K_C) contains a generically invertible section). Under…

Let $C\subset \mathbb{P}^{g-1}$ be a general curve of genus $g$ and let $k$ be a positive integer such that the Brill-Noether number $\rho(g,k,1)\geq 0$ and $g > k+1$. The aim of this short note is to study the relative canonical resolution…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field and let $C$ be a non--hyperelliptic smooth projective curve of genus $g$ defined over $k$. Since the canonical model of $C$ is arithmetically Gorenstein, Macaulay's theory of inverse systems allows…

For a smooth plane cubic $B$, we count curves $C$ of degree $d$ such that the normalizations of $C\backslash B$ are isomorphic to $\Bbb A^1$, for $d\leq7$ (for $d=7$ under some assumption). We also count plane rational quartic curves…

If $C$ is a smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{F}$ and $G$ is a subgroup of automorphisms of $C$, then $G$ acts linearly on the $\mathbb{F}$-vector space of holomorphic differentials…

In the present paper, we define and study $C$-parallel and $C$-proper slant curves of $S$-manifolds. We prove that a curve $\gamma $ in an $S$-manifold of order $r\geq 3,$ under certain conditions, is $C$-parallel or $C$-parallel in the…

Consider the smooth projective models C of curves y^2=f(x) with f(x) in Z[x] monic and separable of degree 2g+1. We prove that for g >= 3, a positive fraction of these have only one rational point, the point at infinity. We prove a lower…

For $q\leq 3$ smooth plane algebraic curves $\mathcal{C}_i$ having simple normal crossings, if the invariant logarithmic $2$-jet differential bundle associated to $(\mathbb{P}^2(\mathbb{C}), \sum_{i=1}^q \mathcal{C}_i)$ has a nonzero…

We give a new example of a curve C algebraically, but not rationally, uniformized by radicals. This means that C has no map onto the projective line P^1 with solvable Galois group, while there exists a curve C' that maps onto C and has a…

We prove that, if two germs of plane curves $(C,0)$ and $(C',0)$ with at least one singular branch are equivalent by a (real) smooth diffeomorphism, then $C$ is complex isomorphic to $C'$ or to $\overline{C'}$. A similar result was shown by…

Recall that a smooth complex projective curve has a very ample canonical bundle when it is non-hyperelliptic, and according to a theorem of M. Noether the resulting embedding is projectively normal. A theorem of Petri further asserts that…

We prove that a canonical curve $C$ of genus $\ge 11$ is bielliptic if and only if its second syzygy scheme $\mathrm{Syz}_2(C)$ is different from $C$.

We present the construction of canonical lifts of $\ell$-adic cycle classes of sections of $p$-adic projective anabelian curves to the cohomology of arbitrary proper, regular, flat models. This answers a question of Esnault and Wittenberg.

The \emph{canonical degree} of a curve $C$ on a surface $X$ is $K_X\cdot C$. Our main result, is that on a surface of general type there are only finitely many curves with negative self--intersection and sufficiently large canonical degree.…

In the open problem of classification of rational cuspidal plane curves it is essential to find good necessary conditions on the type of singularities of a curve C in order C to exit. Motivated by the study of the Seiberg-Witten invariant…

We show that the canonical-lift construction for ordinary elliptic curves over perfect fields of characteristic $p>0$ extends uniquely to arbitrary families of ordinary elliptic curves, even over $p$-adic formal schemes. In particular, the…

We give a proof of Iitaka's Conjecture C_{2,1} using only elementary methods from algebraic geometry. The main point is that, given a non-isotrivial and relatively minimal family f : X \to B, where X is a surface and B is a curve, both…

In the classical case of irreducible smooth algebraic curves every genus $2$ curve is hyperelliptic, or in other words there is a complete linear series $g_2^1$ on them. On the other hand if $g > 2$, then a generic smooth curve of genus $2$…

The canonical ideal for Harbater Katz Gabber covers satisfying the conditions of Petri's theorem is studied and an explicit non-singular model of the above curves is given.

This paper is concerned with rational curves on real classical groups. Our contributions are three-fold: (i) We determine the structure of quadratic rational curves on real classical groups. As a consequence, we completely classify…
