We study integral points on affine surfaces by means of a new method, relying on the Subspace Theorem. Under suitable assumptions on the divisor at infinity, we prove that the integral points are contained in a curve. As a corollary, we…
We bound the genus of a projective curve lying on a complete intersection surface in terms of its degree and the degrees of the defining equations of the surface on which it lies.
We consider the space of all configurations of finitely many (potentially nested) circles in the plane. We prove that this space is aspherical, and compute the fundamental group of each of its connected components. It turns out these…
We show that the polynomial entropy of homeomorphisms on regular curves is bounded above by one. Moreover, the polynomial entropy equals one under the fairly mild condition that the homeomorphism possesses a wandering point. We obtain a…
We study the structure of collections of algebraic curves in three dimensions that have many curve-curve incidences. In particular, let $k$ be a field and let $\mathcal{L}$ be a collection of $n$ space curves in $k^3$, with…
We study the poles and residues of the complex zeta function $ f^s $ of a plane curve. We prove that most non-rupture divisors do not contribute to poles of $ f^s $ or roots of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial $ b_f(s) $ of $ f $. For plane…
In the recent paper arXiv:1807.02721, B. Lawrence and A. Venkatesh develop a method of proving finiteness theorems in arithmetic geometry by studying the geometry of families over a base variety. Their results include a new proof of both…
A linear system on a smooth complex algebraic surface gives rise to a family of smooth curves in the surface. Such a family has a topological monodromy representation valued in the mapping class group of a fiber. Extending arguments of…
We initiate the study of a class of real plane algebraic curves which we call expressive. These are the curves whose defining polynomial has the smallest number of critical points allowed by the topology of the set of real points of a…
We study jet schemes of Newton non-degenerate plane curve singularities. We identify a subgraph of the graph of jet components and show that it can be constructed from walks on the lattice points in the first quadrant of the Cartesian…
We study the affine cone over a reducible nodal curve $X$ obtained by gluing three projective lines along three pairs of points to form a connected curve of arithmetic genus \(1\). We endow \(X\) with a line bundle \(L\) of multidegree…
We use class field theory to search for curves with many rational points over small finite fields. By going through abelian covers of curves of small genus we find a number of new curves. In particular, we settle the question of how many…
Let $p$ be a fixed prime number, and $q$ a power of $p$. For any curve over $\mathbb{F}_q$ and any local system on it, we have a number field generated by the traces of Frobenii at closed points, known as the trace field. We show that as we…
We study plane curves over finite fields whose tangent lines at smooth $\mathbb{F}_q$-points together cover all the points of $\mathbb{P}^2(\mathbb{F}_q)$.
The trigonal curves of genus 5 can be represented by projective plane quintics that have 1 singularity of delta invariant 1. Combining this with a partial sieve method for plane curves we count the number of such curves over any finite…
Let $\mathcal{C}\subseteq \mathbb{N}^p$ be an integer cone. A $\mathcal{C}$-semigroup $S\subseteq \mathcal{C}$ is an affine semigroup such that the set $\mathcal{C}\setminus S$ is finite. Such $\mathcal{C}$-semigroups are central to our…
We study equi-singular strata of plane curves with two singular points of prescribed types. The method of the previous work [Kerner06] is generalized to this case. In particular we consider the enumerative problem for plane curves with two…
We present a certified algorithm based on subdivision for computing an isotopic approximation to any number of curves in the plane. Our algorithm is based on the certified curve approximation algorithm of Plantinga and Vegter. The main…

In this work we introduce the notion of almost-symmetry for generalized numerical semigroups. In addition to the main properties occurring in this new class, we present several characterizations for its elements. In particular we show that…
