We continue the investigation of curves of type p,q started in [KKW]. We study the space of such curves and the space of nodal curves with prescribed Weierstra\ss semigroup. A necessary and sufficient criterion for a numerical semigroup to…
We find a geometrical method of analysing the singularities of a plane nodal curve. The main results will be used in a forthcoming paper on geometric Plucker formulas for such curves. Plane nodal curves, that is plane curves having at most…
In this work, we are concerned with the structure of sparse semigroups and some applications of them to Weierstrass points. We manage to describe, classify and find an upper bound for the genus of sparse semigroups. We also study the…
Assume $a$ and $b=na+r$ with $n \geq 1$ and $0<r<a$ are relatively prime integers. In case $C$ is a smooth curve and $P$ is a point on $C$ with Weierstrass semigroup equal to $<a;b>$ then $C$ is called a $C_{a;b}$-curve. In case $r \neq…
We define a class of numerical semigroups S, which we call Castelnuovo semigroups, and study the subvariety $M^S_{g,1}$ of $M_{g,1}$ consisting of marked smooth curves with Weierstrass semigroup S. We determine the number of irreducible…
Let C be a complete non-singular irreducible curve of genus 4 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. We determine all possible Weierstrass semigroups of ramification points on double covers of C which have genus greater…
We determine the Weierstrass semigroup $H(P_{\infty}, P_{1}, \ldots , P_{m})$ at several points on the $GK$ curve. In addition, we present conditions to find pure gaps on the set of gaps $G(P_{\infty}, P_{1}, \ldots , P_{m})$. Finally, we…
We show that three numerical semigroups <5,6,7,8>, <3,7,8 > and <3,5> are of double covering type, i.e., the Weierstrass semigroups of ramification points on double covers of curves. Combining this with the results of Oliveira-Pimentel and…
We investigate the structure of the generalized Weierstrass semigroups at several points on a curve defined over a finite field. We present a description of these semigroups that enables us to deduce properties concerned with the…
In this article we explicitly determine the structure of the Weierstrass semigroups $H(P)$ for any point $P$ of the Suzuki curve $\mathcal{S}_q$. As the point $P$ varies, exactly two possibilities arise for $H(P)$: one for the…
We study the algebraic curve over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$ defined by $y^{q+1} = x^n(x^n+1)$, where $n$ is a positive integer coprime to the characteristic. We first prove (when $q$ is odd) that the nonsingular model of this curve is…
In 2017, D. Skabelund constructed a maximal curve over $\mathbb{F}_{q^4}$ as a cyclic cover of the Suzuki curve. In this paper we explicitly determine the structure of the Weierstrass semigroup at any point $P$ of the Skabelund curve. We…
For each group $G$, $(|G| > 2)$ \, which acts as a full automorphism group on a genus 3 hyperelliptic curve, we determine the family of curves which have 2-Weierstrass points. Such families of curves are explicitly determined in terms of…
Let $f$ be a plane curve. We give a procedure based on Abhyankar's approximate roots to detect if it has a single place at infinity, and if so construct its associated $\delta$-sequence, and consequently its value semigroup. Also for fixed…
Suppose C is a singular curve in CP^2 and it is topologically an embedded surface of genus g; such curves are called cuspidal. The singularities of C are cones on knots K_i. We apply Heegaard Floer theory to find new constraints on the sets…
The aim of this manuscript is to give some basic notions related to numerical semigroups, and from these on the one hand describe a classical application to the study of singularities of plane algebraic curves, and on the other, show how…
We report on the problem of the existence of complex and real algebraic curves in the plane with prescribed singularities up to analytic and topological equivalence. The question is whether, for a given positive integer $d$ and a finite…
In this paper, we determine the Weierstrass semigroup $H(P_{\infty})$ and the full automorphism group of a certain family of curves $\mathcal{X}_{n,r}$, which was recently introduced by Borges and Concei\c{c}\~ao.
Two plane analytic branches are topologically equivalent if and only if they have the same multiplicity sequence. We show that having same semigroup is equivalent to having same multiplicity sequence, we calculate the semigroup from a…
This paper addresses a very classical topic that goes back at least to Pl\"ucker: how to understand a plane curve singularity using its polar curves. Here, we explicitly construct the singular points of a plane curve singularity directly…
