We give an algorithm to compute the L\^e numbers of (the germ of) a Newton non-degenerate complex analytic function $f\colon(\mathbb{C}^n,0) \rightarrow (\mathbb{C},0)$ in terms of certain invariants attached to the Newton diagram of the…
We consider families of smooth projective curves of genus 2 with a single point removed and study their integral points. We show that in many such families there is a dense set of fibres for which the integral points can be effectively…
An old conjecture of Durfee 1978 bounds the ratio of two basic invariants of complex isolated complete intersection surface singularities: the Milnor number and the singularity (or geometric) genus. We give a counterexample for the case of…
On a smooth variety, Serre's intersection formula computes intersection multiplicities via an alternating sum of the lengths of Tor groups. When the variety is singular, the corresponding sum can be a divergent series. But there are…
The most useful and interesting line bundles over algebraic curves of a very high genus have the ratio \delta of the degree to the genus close to half-integer values, usually \delta \approx 0, \delta \approx 1/2, or \delta \approx 1; the…
Curves in Lagrange Grassmannians naturally appear when one studies intrinsically "the Jacobi equations for extremals", associated with control systems and geometric structures. In this way one reduces the problem of construction of the…
A genus one curve of degree 5 is defined by the 4 x 4 Pfaffians of a 5 x 5 alternating matrix of linear forms on P^4. We describe a general method for investigating the invariant theory of such models. We use it to explain how we found our…
We are interested in characterizing the holonomy maps associated to integral curves of non-degenerate singularities of holomorphic vector fields. Such a description is well-known in dimension 2 where is a key ingredient in the study of…
Let L be any number field or $\mathfrak{p}$-adic field and consider F:=(f_1,...,f_k) where f_i is in L[x_1,...,x_n]\{0} for all i and there are exactly m distinct exponent vectors appearing in f_1,...,f_k. We prove that F has no more than…
Given an edge colouring of a graph with a set of $m$ colours, we say that the graph is $m$-\textit{coloured} if each of the $m$ colours is used. For an $m$-colouring $\Delta$ of $\mathbb{N}^{(2)}$, the complete graph on $\mathbb{N}$, we…
S.-W. Zhang recently introduced a new adelic invariant for curves of genus at least 2 over number fields and function fields. We calculate this invariant when the genus is equal to 2.
We study the Duffing equation and its generalizations with polynomial nonlinearities. Recently, we have demonstrated that metamorphoses of the amplitude response curves, computed by asymptotic methods in implicit form as $F\left( \Omega ,\…
In this paper, we introduce the notion of spectral genus $\widetilde{p}_{g}$ of a germ of an isolated hypersurface singularity $(\mathbb{C}^{n+1}, 0) \to (\mathbb{C}, 0)$, defined as a sum of small exponents of monodromy eigenvalues. The…
We give an explicit slice formula for a surface invariant of generic immersions in $\mathbb{R}^3$, expressed in terms of curve invariants arising from planar slices. Using a motion-picture viewpoint, we introduce differential measures that…
We propose a topological approach to the problem of determining a curve from its iterated integrals. In particular, we prove that a family of terms in the signature series of a two dimensional closed curve with finite p variation, 1\leq…
Using reduced Gromov-Witten theory, we define new invariants which capture the enumerative geometry of curves on holomorphic symplectic 4-folds. The invariants are analogous to the BPS counts of Gopakumar and Vafa for Calabi-Yau 3-folds,…
Given a generically \'etale morphism $f\colon Y\to X$ of quasi-smooth Berkovich curves, we define a different function $\delta_f\colon Y\to[0,1]$ that measures the wildness of the topological ramification locus of $f$. This provides a new…
Oriented closed curves on an orientable surface with boundary are described up to continuous deformation by reduced cyclic words in the generators of the fundamental group and their inverses. By self-intersection number one means the…
The purpose of this note is to present and study a new series of the so-called unexpected curves. They enjoy a surprising property to the effect that their degree grows to infinity, whereas the multiplicity at a general fat point remains…
Given a rank-two sub-Riemannian structure $(M,\Delta)$ and a point $x_0\in M$, a singular curve is a critical point of the endpoint map $F:\gamma\mapsto\gamma(1)$ defined on the space of horizontal curves starting at $x_0$. The typical…
