We classify real families of minimal degree rational curves that cover an embedded rational surface. A corollary is that if the projective closure of a smooth surface is not biregular isomorphic to the projective closure of the unit-sphere,…
We study the family of rational curves on arbitrary smooth hypersurfaces of low degree using tools from analytic number theory.
We study neighborhoods of rational curves in surfaces with self-intersection number 1 that can be linearised.
We present an algorithm for computing curves and families of curves of prescribed degree and geometric genus on real rational surfaces.
We study the rational approximation properties of special manifolds defined by a set of polynomials with rational coefficients. Mostly we will assume the case of all polynomials to depend on only one variable. In this case the manifold can…
We survey some results on real rational surfaces focused on their topology and their birational geometry.
We show that if a compact complex surface admits a locally conformally flat metric, then it cannot contain a smooth rational curve of odd self-intersection. In particular, the surface has to be minimal. Then we give a list of possibilities…
We show that a real rational (over $\C$) surfaces are quasi-simple, i.e., that such a surface is determined up to deformation in the class of real surfaces by the topological type of its real structure.
By studying $\mathbb{A}^1$-curves on varieties, we propose a geometric approach to strong approximation problem over function fields of complex curves. We prove that strong approximation holds for smooth, low degree affine complete…
We prove that holomorphic maps from an open subset of a complex smooth projective curve to a complex smooth projective rationally simply connected variety can be approximated by algebraic maps for the compact-open topology. This theorem can…
We present an approach of computing the intersection curve $\mathcal{C}$ of two rational parametric surface $\S_1(u,s)$ and $\S_2(v,t)$, one being projectable and hence can easily be implicitized. Plugging the parametric surface to the…
We study the geometry of the space of rational curves on smooth complete intersections of low degree, which pass through a given set of points on the variety. The argument uses spreading out to a finite field, together with an adaptation to…
In characteristic $p>0$ and for $q$ a power of $p$, we compute the number of nonplanar rational curves of arbitrary degrees on a smooth Hermitian surface of degree $q+1$ under the assumption that the curves have a parametrization given by…
Consider the scheme parametrizing non-constant morphisms from a fixed projective curve to a projective surface. There is a rational map between this scheme and the Chow variety of $1$-cycles on the surface. We prove that, if the curve is…
Given an ordered sequence of $N$-choose-2 integers, we give necessary and sufficient conditions to have an ordered collection of $N$ simple closed curves on a torus such that the algebraic pairwise intersections of those curves are the…
We describe the topology of singular real algebraic curves in a smooth surface. We enumerate and bound in terms of the degree the number of topological types of singular algebraic curves in the real projective plane.
This paper explores the relationship between closed curves on surfaces and their intersections. Like Dehn-Thurston coordinates for simple curves, we explore how to determine closed curves using the number of times they intersect other…
In this paper we describe an algorithm for implicitizing rational hypersurfaces in case there exists at most a finite number of base points. It is based on a technique exposed in math.AG/0210096, where implicit equations are obtained as…
Given two general rational curves of the same degree in two projective spaces, one can ask whether there exists a third rational curve of the same degree that projects to both of them. We show that, under suitable assumptions on the degree…
We consider systems of simple closed curves on surfaces and their total number of intersection points, their so-called crossing number. For a fixed number of curves, we aim to minimise the crossing number. We determine the minimal crossing…
