Main Result: Let $(M,L)$ be a smooth complex polarized threefold. Then the linear system $| K+tL|$ separates any two different points on $M$ for any $t\ge 6$, where $K$ is the canonical bundle of $M$. The argument in the proof is a variant…

The first part of Hilbert's sixteenth problem deals with the classification of the isotopy types realizable by real plane algebraic curves of given degree $m$. For $m \geq 8$, one restricts the study to the case of the $M$-curves. For…

In this note we determine, for an arbitrary but a fixed degree $d$, an algorithm to list the possible values $m$ for which $M_g^{Pl}(\mathbb{Z}/m)$ is non-empty where $\mathbb{Z}/m$ denotes the cyclic group of order $m$. In particular, we…

The divisor theory of the complete graph $K_n$ is in many ways similar to that of a plane curve of degree $n$. We compute the splitting types of all divisors on the complete graph $K_n$. We see that the possible splitting types of divisors…

The paper is an introduction to the use of the classical Newton-Puiseux procedure, oriented to an algorithmic description of it. This procedure enables to get polynomial approximations for parameterizations of branches of an algebraic plane…

This paper deals with a variation of the classical isoperimetric problem in dimension $N\ge 2$ for a two-phase piecewise constant density whose discontinuity interface is a given hyperplane. We introduce a weighted perimeter functional with…

We construct a compactification M_d of the moduli space of plane curves of degree d. We regard a plane curve C as a surface-divisor pair (P^2,C) and define M_d as a moduli space of pairs (X,D) where X is a degeneration of the plane. We show…

In this paper, the problem of bounding the number of reducible curves in a pencil of algebraic plane curves is addressed. Unlike most of the previous related works, each reducible curve of the pencil is here counted with its appropriate…

A canonical factorization is given for a quadratic pencil of accretive operators in a Hilbert space. Also, we establish some relationships between an m-accretive operator and its Moore-Penorse inverse. As an application, we study a result…

We consider the problem of computing the distance-dependent two-point function of general planar maps and hypermaps, i.e. the problem of counting such maps with two marked points at a prescribed distance. The maps considered here may have…

Let SU_X(3) be the moduli space of semi-stable vector bundles of rank 3 and trivial determinant on a curve X of genus 2. It maps onto P^8 and the map is a double cover branched over a sextic hypersurface called the Coble sextic. In the dual…

We formulate a conjecture on the behavior of the minimal free resolutions of sets of general points on arbitrary varieties embedded by complete linear series, in analogy with the well-known Minimal Resolution Conjecture for points in…

Given two sets $R$ and $B$ of $n$ points in the plane, we present efficient algorithms to find a two-line linear classifier that best separates the "red" points in $R$ from the "blue" points in $B$ and is robust to outliers. More precisely,…

In this paper we solve the problem of analytic classification of plane curves singularities with two branches by presenting their normal forms. This is accomplished by means of a new analytic invariant that relates vectors in the tangent…

The non-isomorphic locus of a general projection from an embedded smooth projective variety to a hypersurface moves in a linear system of an effective divisor which we call the double point divisor. David Mumford proved that the double…

In this paper we prove that no multiple of the linear system of plane curves of degree $d\geq 4$ with a point of multiplicity $d-m$ (with $2 \leq m \leq d$) and $m(2d-m)$ simple general points is effective.

We consider here 6-regular plane graphs whose faces have size 1, 2 or 3. In Section 2 a practical enumeration method is given that allowed us to enumerate them up to 53 vertices. Subsequently, in Section 3 we enumerate all possible symmetry…

A result of Keel and McKernan states that a hypothetical counterexample to the F-conjecture must come from rigid curves on $\bar {M}_{0,n}$ that intersect the interior. We exhibit several ways of constructing rigid curves. In all our…

We study real bitangents of real algebraic plane curves from two perspectives. We first show that there exists a signed count of such bitangents that only depends on the real topological type of the curve. From this follows that a generic…

In this paper, we study the divisor theory of the Simpson moduli space of semistable sheaves of dimension 1 on the projective plane. We prove that these spaces are all Mori dream spaces, and calculate their nef cones. We also study the…
