Given a vector bundle $A\to M$ we study the geometry of the graded manifolds $T^*[k]A[1]$, including their canonical symplectic structures, compatible Q-structures and Lagrangian Q-submanifolds. We relate these graded objects to classical…
In this paper, we discuss some problems of elementary plane differential geometry and kinematics. Although the results are not new, the consistent use of complex-valued functions (plane curves) of a real variable (parameter) allows to…
Let X be a geometrically irreducible smooth projective curve over a field k. We describe the algebra of endomorphisms of indecomposable unstable vector bundles over X of rank 2 and degree d. Fixing some numerical invariants, namely the…
We introduce two polynomial invariants $V_1(K;t)$ and $V_2(K;t)$ of a long virtual knot $K$, which generalize the degree-two finite type invariants $v_{2,1}$ and $v_{2,2}$ of Goussarov, Polyak, and Viro. We establish their fundamental…
We study a generalization of the classical correspondence between homogeneous quadratic polynomials, quadratic forms, and symmetric/alternating bilinear forms to forms in $n$ variables. The main tool is combinatorial polarization, and the…
We describe the invariants of plane quartic curves -- nonhyperelliptic genus 3 curves in their canonical model -- as determined by Dixmier and Ohno, with application to the classification of curves with given structure. In particular, we…
Recently, the geodesibility of planar vector fields, which are algebrizable (differentiable in the sense of Lorch for some associative and commutative unital algebra), has been established. In this paper, we consider algebrizable…
The object of this paper is to address the following question: When is a polynomial vector field on $\mathbb{C}^2$ completely determined (up to affine equivalence) by the spectra of its singularities? We will see that for quadratic vector…
It has been conjectured that every algebraic curve may be defined either over its field of moduli or over an extension of degree two of it. In this paper we provide a negative answer to it by giving examples of hyperelliptic curves which…
An invariant of a model of genus one curve is a polynomial in the coefficients of the model that is stable under certain linear transformations. The classical example of an invariant is the discriminant, which characterizes the singularity…
A Lie algebra structure on variation vector fields along an immersed curve in a $2$-dimensional real space form is investigated. This Lie algebra particularized to plane curves is the cornerstone in order to define a Hamiltonian structure…
Planar polynomial automorphisms are polynomial maps of the plane whose inverse is also a polynomial map. A map is reversible if it is conjugate to its inverse. Here we obtain a normal form for automorphisms that are reversible by an…
There is a classical geometric construction which uses a binary quadratic form to define an involution on the space of binary d-ics. We give a complete characterization of a general class of such involutions which are definable using…
Conformal fields are a recently discovered class of representations of the algebra of vector fields in $N$ dimensions. Invariant first-order differential operators (exterior derivatives) for conformal fields are constructed.
We show how to construct infinite families of explicitly determined cubic number fields whose class group has a subgroup isomorphic to $(\mathbb{Z}/2)^8$ using degree $1$ del Pezzo surfaces. We illustrate the method and provide an example…
We investigate modularity of elliptic curves over a general totally real number field, establishing a finiteness result for the set non-modular $j$-invariants. By analyzing quadratic points on some modular curves, we show that all elliptic…
In this paper, we analyze the algebraic invariants for two classes of multivariate quadratic systems: systems made by OV quadratic polynomials and systems made by both OV polynomials and fully quadratic ones. For such systems, we explicitly…
In this paper we extend a previous investigation by us regarding an iterative construction of irreducible polynomials over finite fields of odd characteristic. In particular, we show how it is possible to iteratively construct irreducible…
For certain problems involving vector fields, it is possible to find an associated imaginary field that, in conjunction with the first, forms a complex field for which the equation can be solved. This result is generalized to arbitrary…
We give some real polynomials in two variables of degrees 4, 5, and 6 whose hessian curves have more connected components than had been known previously. In particular, we give a quartic polynomial whose hessian curve has 4 compact…
