We characterize in terms of characteristic sequences the semigroups corresponding to branches at infinity of plane affine curves $\Gamma$ for which there exists a polynomial automorphism mapping $\Gamma$ onto the axis $x=0$.

We address the problem of computing bounds for the self-intersection number (the minimum number of self-intersection points) of members of a free homotopy class of curves in the doubly-punctured plane as a function of their combinatorial…

We classify 'primitive normal compactifications' of C^2 (i.e. normal analytic surfaces containing C^2 for which the curve at infinity is irreducible), compute the moduli space of these surfaces and their groups of auomorphisms. In…

We find an upper bound for the asymptotic dimension of a hyperbolic metric space with a set of geodesics satisfying a certain boundedness condition studied by Bowditch. The primary example is a collection of tight geodesics on the curve…

We determine all genus 2 curves, defined over $\mathbb C$, which have simultaneously degree 2 and 3 elliptic subcovers. The locus of such curves has three irreducible 1-dimensional genus zero components in $\mathcal M_2$. For each component…

In this paper we classify curves of genus two over a perfect field k of characteristic two. We find rational models of curves with a given arithmetic structure for the ramification divisor and we give necessary and sufficient conditions for…

We investigate the automorphism groups of the algebraic curves \[ \mathcal{C}_d : y^d = \varphi_d(x), \] where $\varphi_d(x)$ denotes the Chebyshev polynomial of degree $d$, defined over a field $k$ with $p:=\operatorname{char}(k) \nmid…

It is shown that a simple closed curve in $\mathbb C^n$ that is a uniform limit of rectifiable simple closed curves each of which has nontrivial polynomial hull has itself nontrivial polynomial hull. In case the limit curve is rectifiable,…

We study arc graphs and curve graphs for surfaces of infinite topological type. First, we define an arc graph relative to a finite number of (isolated) punctures and prove that it is a connected, uniformly hyperbolic graph of infinite…

We define and study analogs of curve graphs for infinite type surfaces. Our definitions use the geometry of a fixed surface and vertices of our graphs are infinite multicurves which are bounded in both a geometric and a topological sense.…

Recently, the first author classified finite groups obtained as automorphism groups of smooth plane curves of degree $d \ge 4$ into five types. He gave an upper bound of the order of the automorphism group for each types. For one of them,…

Let $N$ be a connected nonorientable surface of genus $g$ with $n$ punctures. Suppose that $g$ is odd and $g+n \geqslant 6$. We prove that the automorphism group of the complex of curves of $N$ is isomorphic to the mapping class group…

We study the algebraic dynamics of self-correspondences on a curve. A self-correspondence on a (proper and smooth) curve $C$ over an algebraically closed field is the data of another curve $D$ and two non-constant separable morphisms…

We prove that for any algebraic plane curve $C$ of degree at most $5$, the fundamental group $\pi_1(\mathbb CP^2\setminus C)$ is linear and virtually polyfree. As a consequence, we answer positively the open question on the residual…

Our purpose in this article is first, following [14], to find the topological upper limits of projections of secant planes to $C^{1}$ surfaces and the topological upper limits of projections of secant hyperplanes to $C^{1}$ hypersurfaces…

In this work we study the connection between the existence of finite dihedral covers of the projective plane ramified along an algebraic curve C, infinite dihedral covers, and pencils of curves containing C.

It is well known that plane curves with the same endpoints are homotopic. An analogous claim for plane curves with the same endpoints and bounded curvature still remains open. In this work we find necessary and sufficient conditions for two…

We show that up to automorphisms of $\mathbb{P}^2_{\mathbb C}$ there are $5$ homogeneous convex foliations of degree four on $\mathbb{P}^2_{\mathbb C}.$ Using this result, we give a partial answer to a question posed in $2013$ by D.…

We associate to each automorphism of the plane, a geometric construction with some properties, it is the {\it{canonical resolution}}. We study the geometry of the canonical resolution, we deduce from it an upper bound for a geometric…

Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a plane curve defined over the algebraic closure $K$ of a prime finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ by a separated polynomial, that is $\mathcal{C}: A(y)=B(x)$, where $A(y)$ is an additive polynomial of degree $p^n$ and the…
