Torically maximal curves (known also as simple Harnack curves) are real algebraic curves in the projective plane such that their logarithmic Gau{\ss} map is totally real. In this paper we show that hyperplanes in projective spaces are the…
We generalize two classical formulas for complete intersection curves by introducing the the complete intersection discrepancy of a curve as a correction term. The first is a well-known multiplicity formula in singularity theory, due to…
We enumerate the singular algebraic curves in a complete linear system on a smooth projective surface. The system must be suitably ample in a rather precise sense. The curves may have up to eight nodes, or a triple point of a given type and…
We prove that every rational trinomial affine hypersurface admits a horizontal polynomial curve. This result provides an explicit non-trivial polynomial solution to a trinomial equation. Also we show that a trinomial affine hypersurface…
We study singular hypersurfaces in tensor multi-scalar theories of gravity. We derive in a distributional and then in an intrinsic way, the general equations of junction valid for all types of hypersurfaces, in particular for lightlike…
Given a smooth curve $\gamma$ in some $m$-dimensional surface $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^{m+1}$, we study existence and uniqueness of a flat surface $H$ having the same field of normal vectors as $M$ along $\gamma$, which we call a flat…
We introduce the separating semigroup of a real algebraic curve of dividing type. The elements of this semigroup record the possible degrees of the covering maps obtained by restricting separating morphisms to the real part of the curve. We…
We give a classification of generic bifurcations of intersections of wavefronts generated by different points of a hypersurface with or without boundaries.
T-curves are piecewise linear curves which have been used with success since the beginning of the 1990's to construct new real algebraic curves with prescribed topology mainly on the real projective plane. In fact T-curves can be used on…
We address the problem of bounding from below the self-intersection of integral curves on the projective plane blown-up at general points. In particular, by applying classical deformation theory we obtain the expected bound in the case of…
In this paper we study the intersection theory on surfaces with abelian quotient singularities and we derive properties of quotients of weighted projective planes. We also use this theory to study weighted blow-ups in order to construct…
We prove ``half-space" intersection properties in three settings: the hemisphere, half-geodesic balls in space forms, and certain subsets of Gaussian space. For instance, any two embedded minimal hypersurfaces in the sphere must intersect…
Given 2 points of a smooth hypersurface, their mid-hyperplane is the hyperplane passing through their mid-point and the intersection of their tangent spaces. In this paper we study the envelope of these mid-hyperplanes (EMH) at pairs whose…
Consider a Hamiltonian diffeomorphism $g$ on a surface. We describe several scenarios where a curve $L$ and its image $g(L)$ provide a simple evidence that $g$ is not autonomous.
In this paper, we show the fundamental theorems for rotationally symmetric hypersurfaces, and thus, together with the earlier results in [3] and [4], provide a complete classification of umbilic hypersurfaces in the Heisenberg groups…
We describe the second homotopy group of any CW-complex $K$ by analyzing the universal cover of a locally finite model of $K$ using the notion of $G$-coloring of a partially ordered set. As applications we prove a generalization of the…
We prove algebraic analogues of the facts that a curve on a surface with self-intersection number zero is homotopic to a cover of a simple curve, and that two simple curves on a surface with intersection number zero can be isotoped to be…
Our main theorem characterizes the complete intersections of codimension 2 in a projective space of dimension 3 or more over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 as the subcanonical and self-linked subschemes. In order to prove…
This is the second in a series of papers. Here we develop here an intersection theory for manifolds equipped with an action of a finite group. As in our previous paper, our approach will be homotopy theoretic, enabling us to circumvent the…
Given a hypersurface $i \colon X \hookrightarrow \widetilde{P}^n$ in a weighted projective space, we compute the intersection form on the second cohomology $H^2(X, \mathbb{Z})^{\otimes n-1} \to \mathbb{Z}$ for the purpose of identifying…
