We define a computable topological invariant $\mu(\gamma)$ for generic closed planar regular curves $\gamma$, which gives an effective lower bound for the number of inflection points on a given generic closed planar curve. Using it, we…

We study sections of the relative Picard bundle of a family of curves of genus $g \geq 2$ through the rank of the associated normal function. Using Griffiths' formula for the infinitesimal invariant and higher Schiffer variations, we…

In this article we consider smooth projective curves $C$ of genus two described by integral equations of the form $y^2=xh(x)$, where $h(x)\in\mathbb{Z}[x]$ is monic of degree $4$. It turns out that if $h(x)$ is reducible, then the absolute…

The Welschinger invariants of real rational algebraic surfaces count real rational curves which represent a given divisor class and pass through a generic conjugation-invariant configuration of points. No invariants counting real curves of…

For smooth projective curves the Clifford index is an important invariant which provides a bound for the dimension of the space of sections of a line bundle. This is the first step in distinguishing curves of the same genus. In this paper…

In 1967, Shioda \cite{Shi1} determined the ring of invariants of binary octavics and their syzygies using the symbolic method. We discover that the syzygies determined in \cite{Shi1} are incorrect. In this paper, we compute the correct…

Let k=F_q be a finite field of characteristic 2. A genus 3 curve C/k has many involutions if the group of k-automorphisms admits a C_2\times C_2 subgroup H (not containing the hyperelliptic involution if C is hyperelliptic). Then C is an…

An upper bound on degrees of elements of a minimal generating system for invariants of quivers of dimension (2,...,2) is established over a field of arbitrary characteristic and its precision is estimated. The proof is based on the…

It follows from the Grothendieck-Ogg-Shafarevich formula that the rank of an abelian variety (with trivial trace) defined over the function field of a curve is bounded by a quantity which depends on the genus of the base curve and on bad…

We provide a complete enumeration of all quotients of genus $0, 1$ and $2$ of the Shimura curves $X_0^D(N)$ over $\mathbb{Q}$ by non-trivial subgroups of Atkin--Lehner involutions. For all $1270$ genus $1$ quotients $X$ with $N$ squarefree,…

In this paper, we introduce and study two new types of non-abelian zeta functions for curves over finite fields, which are defined by using (moduli spaces of) semi-stable vector bundles and non-stable bundles. A Riemann-Weil type hypothesis…

We consider an Sp(4,Z) invariant expression involving two factors of the Kawazumi--Zhang (KZ) invariant each of which is a modular graph with one link, and four derivatives on the moduli space of genus two Riemann surfaces. Manipulating it,…

The generating function for $S_n$-equivariant Euler characteristics of moduli spaces of pointed hyperelliptic curves for any genus g>1 is calculated. This answer generalizes the known ones for genera 2 and 3 and answers obtained by J.…

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…

Generalized Donaldson-Thomas invariants corresponding to local D6-D2-D0 configurations are defined applying the formalism of Joyce and Song to ADHM sheaves on curves. A wallcrossing formula for invariants of D6-rank two is proven and shown…

We introduce the concept of constant $2$-labelling of a weighted graph and show how it can be used to obtain perfect weighted coverings. Roughly speaking, a constant $2$-labelling of a weighted graph is a $2$-colouring of its vertex set…

There is an elegant relation found by Fabricius-Bjerre [Math. Scand 40 (1977) 20--24] among the double tangent lines, crossings, inflections points, and cusps of a singular curve in the plane. We give a new generalization to singular curves…

This paper is devoted to understanding curves $X$ over a number field $k$ that possess infinitely many solutions in extensions of $k$ of degree at most $d$; such solutions are the titular low degree points. For $d=2,3$ it is known (by the…
