Curves of low genus on a surface carry important informations on that surface. We study the Fano surfaces of lines of cubic threefolds that contain 12 or 30 elliptic curves. We determine their Picard number and compute a basis of the…

A line field on a manifold is a smooth map which assigns a tangent line to all but a finite number of points of the manifold. As such, it can be seen as a generalization of vector fields. They model a number of geometric and physical…

We study lines on smooth cubic surfaces over the field of $p$-adic numbers, from a theoretical and computational point of view. Segre showed that the possible counts of such lines are $0,1,2,3,5,7,9,15$ or $27$. We show that each of these…

This work presents the conjugacy classes of finite abelian subgroups of the Cremona group of the plane. Using a well-known theory, this problem amounts to the study of automorphism groups of some Del Pezzo surfaces and conic bundles. We…

We show that a sequence of smooth analytic curves of the unit ball of the complex plane, for which the genus is bounded by the area, converges to a lamination in a weak sense.

For a prime $p$ congruent to three modulo four, we prove that there exists a smooth curve of genus five in characteristic $p$ that is supersingular. We produce this curve as an unramified double cover of a curve of genus three. We…

This is the revised version of our previous preprint. In this paper, we establish a generic smoothness result for moduli space of semistable sheaves of arbitrary rank over surfaces provided that the second Chern class of the sheaves is…

This paper explores the Fano variety of lines in hypersurfaces, particularly focusing on those with mild singularities. Our first result explores the irreducibility of the variety $\Sigma$ of lines passing through a singular point $y$ on a…

We propose a conjecture on the generating series of Chern numbers of tautological bundles on Hilbert schemes of points on curves and establish the rank 1 and rank -1 case of this conjecture. Thus we compute explicitly the generating series…

Beauville surfaces are a class of complex surfaces defined by letting a finite group $G$ act on a product of Riemann surfaces. These surfaces possess many attractive geometric properties several of which are dictated by properties of the…

An efficient computer algorithm is described for the perspective drawing of a wide class of surfaces. The class includes surfaces corresponding lo single-valued, continuous functions which are defined over rectangular domains. The algorithm…

We prove the existence of a bound on the number of steps of the minimal model program for singular surfaces in terms of discrepancies and top Chern numbers. As an application, we prove that given $R\in\mathbb{R}$ and $\epsilon\in (0,1)$,…

We show that smooth hypersurfaces in complex projective spaces with automorphism groups of maximum size are isomorphic to Fermat hypersurfaces, with a few exceptions. For the exceptions, we give explicitly the defining equations and…

Reider's Theorem on the very ampleness of adjoint linear series on a complex projective algebraic surface is extended in two new directions. First, Reider-type inequalities are shown to imply nefness of linear series of the form dH - E on…

Large sets of equiangular lines are constructed from sets of mutually unbiased bases, over both the complex and the real numbers.

We introduce a new class of pseudoprimes-so called "overpseudoprimes to base $b$", which is a subclass of strong pseudoprimes to base $b$. Denoting via $|b|_n$ the multiplicative order of $b$ modulo $n$, we show that a composite $n$ is…

In this note is we exhibit an elementary method to construct explicitly curves over finite fields with many points. Despite its elementary character the method is very efficient and can be regarded as a partial substitute for the use of…

We shall characterize the Fermat K3 surface, among all complex K3 surfaces, by means of its finite group symmetries.

We call an integer N>1 primover to base a if it either prime or overpseudoprime to base a. We prove, in particular, that every Fermat number is primover to base 2. We also indicate a simple process of receiving of primover divisors of…

We enumerate the singular algebraic curves in a complete linear system on a smooth projective surface. The system must be suitably ample in a rather precise sense. The curves may have up to eight nodes, or a triple point of a given type and…
