We construct pairs of elliptic curves over number fields with large intersection of projective torsion points.

We give a recursive formula for purely real Welschinger invariants of the following real Del Pezzo surfaces: the projective plane blown up at $q$ real and $s \leq 1$ pairs of conjugate imaginary points, where $q+2s\le 5$, and the real…

We study the homogeneous coordinate rings of real multiplication noncommutative tori as defined by A. Polishchuk. Our aim is to understand how these rings give rise to an arithmetic structure on the noncommutative torus. We start by giving…

A projective threefold transition $Y \xrightarrow{\phi} \bar{Y} \rightsquigarrow X$ is del Pezzo if $\phi$ contracts a smooth del Pezzo surface to a point. We show that the GW/PT correspondence holds on $Y$ implies that it holds on $X$. In…

Real, complex, and tropical algebraic geometry join forces in a new branch of mathematical physics called positive geometry. We develop the positive geometry of del Pezzo surfaces and their moduli spaces, viewed as very affine varieties.…

We discuss the classical problem of counting planes tangent to general canonical sextic curves at three points. We determine the number of real tritangents when such a curve is real. We then revisit a curve constructed by Emch with the…

Itenberg and Shustin's pseudoholomorphic curve patchworking is in principle more flexible than Viro's original algebraic one. It was natural to wonder if the former method allows one to construct non-algebraic objects. In this paper we…

Every graph $\Gamma$ can be embedded in the plane with a minimal number of edge intersections, called its classical crossing number $\text{cross}\left(\Gamma\right)$. In this paper, we prove that if $\Gamma$ is a metric graph it can be…

These notes outline some basic notions of Tropical Geometry and survey some of its applications for problems in classical (real and complex) geometry. To appear in the Proceedings of the Madrid ICM.

In this paper we give an interpretation to the boundary points of the compactification of the parameter space of convex projective structures on an n-manifold M. These spaces are closed semi-algebraic subsets of the variety of characters of…

We show that the non-Archimedean skeleton of the $d$-th symmetric power of a smooth projective algebraic curve $X$ is naturally isomorphic to the $d$-th symmetric power of the tropical curve that arises as the non-Archimedean skeleton of…

We prove that every connected component of an intersection of tropical hypersurfaces contains a point of their stable intersection unless their stable intersection is empty. This is done by studying algebraic hypersurfaces that tropicalize…

We consider the Alexander polynomial of a plane algebraic curve twisted by a linear representation. We show that it divides the product of the polynomials of the singularity links, for unitary representations. Moreover, their quotient is…

We study a tropical analogue of the projective dual variety of a hypersurface. When $X$ is a curve in $\mathbb{P}^2$ or a surface in $\mathbb{P}^3$, we provide an explicit description of $\text{Trop}(X^*)$ in terms of $\text{Trop}(X)$, as…

Jaramillo Puentes et al. give a Grothendieck-Witt valued floor-diagram formula for rational curves in smooth toric del Pezzo surfaces with simple and quadratic double point conditions. We study its dependence on the choice of merge…

Let $\mathbb F_{q^2}$ be the finite field with $q^2$ elements. We provide a simple and effective method, using reciprocal polynomials, for the construction of algebraic curves over $\mathbb F_{q^2}$ with many rational points. The curves…

Exploiting a connection between amoebas and tropical curves, we devise a method for computing tropical curves using numerical algebraic geometry and give an implementation. As an application, we use this technique to compute Newton polygons…

We show that tropicalization of linear series on curves gives rise to two-parameter families of tilings by polymatroids, with one parameter arising from the theory of divisors on tropical curves and the other from the reduction of linear…

This note presents a formula for the enumerative invariants of arbitrary genus in toric surfaces. The formula computes the number of curves of a given genus through a collection of generic points in the surface. The answer is given in terms…

In this paper we give an elementary proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra for polynomials over the rational tropical semi-ring. We prove that, tropically, the rational numbers are algebraically closed. We provide a simple algorithm…
