We give a description of the relative Hilbert scheme of lines in the Dwork pencil of quintic threefolds. We describe the corresponding relative Hilbert scheme associated to the mirror family of quintic threefolds.
The Wiman-Edge pencil is a pencil of genus $6$ curves for which the generic member has automorphism group the alternating group $\mathfrak{A}_5$. There is a unique smooth member, the Wiman sextic, with automorphism group the symmetric group…
In this paper we investigate the geometry of the Dwork pencil in any dimension. More specifically, we study the automorphism group G of the generic fiber of the pencil over the complex projective line, and the quotients of it by various…
In this paper, we study the restrictions on the number $m$ of conic-line curves in special pencils. The most general result we obtain is the relation between upper bounds on $m$ and the number $p$ of concurrent lines in these pencils. We…
A general smooth curve of genus six lies on a quintic del Pezzo surface. In \cite{AK11}, Artebani and Kond\=o construct a birational period map for genus six curves by taking ramified double covers of del Pezzo surfaces. The map is not…
We prove that for a generic Lefschetz pencil of plane curves of degree $d\geq 3$ there exists a curve $H$ (called the Hesse curve of the pencil) of degree $6(d-1)$ and genus $3(4d^2-13d+8)+1$, and such that: $(i)$ $H$ has $d^2$ singular…
The {\em Wiman-Edge pencil} is the universal family $C_t, t\in\mathcal B$ of projective, genus $6$, complex-algebraic curves admitting a faithful action of the icosahedral group $\Af_5$. The curve $C_0$, discovered by Wiman in 1895…
The sextic plane curves that are invariant under the standard action of the icosahedral group on the projective plane make up a pencil of genus ten curves (spanned by a sum of six lines and a three times a conic). This pencil was first…
Let $G$ be a subgroup of the three dimensional projective group $\mathrm{PGL}(3,q)$ defined over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of order $q$, viewed as a subgroup of $\mathrm{PGL}(3,K)$ where $K$ is an algebraic closure of $\mathbb{F}_q$.…

The attempted classification of regular algebras of global dimension four, so-called quantum $\mathbb P^3$s, has been a driving force for modern research in noncommutative algebra. Inspired by the work of Artin, Tate, and Van den Bergh,…
Two families of surfaces arise from considering cyclic branched covers of $\mathbb{P}^{2}$ over smooth quartic curves. These consist of degree 2 del Pezzo surfaces with a $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ action and $K3$ surfaces with a…
In this paper, we study plane quintic curves whose automorphism groups have order greater than 10, as well as those with cyclic automorphism groups of order 8 and 10. The latter two cases are represented as one-parameter families, where…
We construct two small resolutions of singularities of the Coble fourfold (the double cover of the four-dimensional projective space branched over the Igusa quartic). We use them to show that all $S_6$-invariant three-dimensional quartics…
We investigate the moduli of genus 10 curves that are endowed with a faithful action of the icosahedral group $\mathcal{A}_5$. We show among other things that this has the structure of a Deligne-Mumford stack whose underlying coarse moduli…
The pencil of Kuribayashi-Komiya quartics $$ x^4 + y^4 + z^4 + t(x^2y^2 + x^2z^2 + y^2z^2)=0 \, \mbox{ where } t \in \bar{\mathbb{C}} $$is a complex one-dimensional family of Riemann surfaces of genus three endowed with a group of…
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 linear systems cut out by cones of fixed degree on a smooth complex curve $C\subset\mathbb{P}^{3}$. We develop a systematic study of the families of such systems, considering their limits, their infinitesimal behaviour and some…
The fine 1-curve graph of a surface is a graph whose vertices are simple closed curves on the surface and whose edges connect vertices that intersect in at most one point. We show that the automorphism group of the fine 1-curve graph is…
The distribution of degree $d$ points on curves is well understood, especially for low degrees. We refine this study to include information on the Galois group in the simplest interesting case: $d = 3$. For curves of genus at least 5, we…
