In this paper, we consider the sigma functions for algebraic curves expressed by a canonical form using a finite sequence $(a_1,...,a_t)$ of positive integers whose greatest common divisor is equal to one (Miura [13]). The idea is to…
Mirror graphs were introduced by Bre\v{s}ar et al. in 2004 as an intriguing class of graphs: vertex-transitive, isometrically embeddable into hypercubes, having a strong connection with regular maps and polytope structure. In this article…
We use the theory of logarithmic line bundles to construct compactifications of spaces of roots of a line bundle on a family of curves, generalising work of a number of authors. This runs via a study of the torsion in the tropical and…
In this paper we obtain an explicit formula for the number of curves in a compact complex surface $X$ (passing through the right number of generic points), that has up to one node and one singularity of codimension $k$, provided the total…
We make explicit computations in the formal symplectic geometry of Kontsevich and determine the Euler characteristics of the three cases, namely commutative, Lie and associative ones, up to certain weights.From these, we obtain some…
A new class of rational parametrization has been developed and it was used to generate a new family of rational functions B-splines $\displaystyle{{\left({}^{\alpha}{\mathbf B}_{i}^{k} \right)}_{i=0}^{k}}$ which depends on an index $\alpha…
Mochizuki's work on torally crys-stable bundles has extensive implications for the theory of logarithmic connections on vector bundles of rank 2 on curves, once the language is translated appropriately. We describe how to carry out this…
Let $C$ be an algebraic curve of genus $g$ and $L$ a line bundle over $C$. Let $\mathcal{MS}_C(n,L)$ and $\mathcal{MO}_C(n,L)$ be the moduli spaces of $L$-valued symplectic and orthogonal bundles respectively, over $C$ of rank $n$. We…
We show that there are infinitely many elliptic curves $E/\mathbb{Q}$, up to isomorphism over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$, for which the finitely generated group $E(\mathbb{Q})$ has rank exactly $2$. Our elliptic curves are given by explicit…
In this note we give examples of Zariski's pairs $B_{1,m}, B_{2,m}$ ($m \in N$ and $m \geq 5$) of plane cuspidal curves such that (i) $B_{i,m}$ is the discriminant curve of a generic morphism $f_{i,m}:S_i \to P^2$, $i=1, 2$, (ii) $S_1$ and…
A metrized complex of algebraic curves is a finite metric graph together with a collection of marked complete nonsingular algebraic curves, one for each vertex, the marked points being in bijection with incident edges. We establish a…
Modular curves like X_0(N) and X_1(N) appear very frequently in arithmetic geometry. While their complex points are obtained as a quotient of the upper half plane by some subgroups of SL_2(Z), they allow for a more arithmetic description as…
Given a finite index subgroup $\Gamma$ of ${\rm{PSL}}_2(\Bbb{Z})$, we investigate Belyi functions on the corresponding modular curve $X(\Gamma)$ by introducing two methods for constructing such functions. Numerous examples have been worked…
This manuscript presents a detailed and original account of the theory of opers defined on pointed stable curves in arbitrary characteristic and their moduli. In particular, it includes the development of the study of dormant opers, which…
Mirror symmetry, a phenomenon in superstring theory, has recently been used to give tentative calculations of several numbers in algebraic geometry. In this paper, the numbers of lines and conics on various hypersurfaces which satisfy…
The Deligne-Lusztig varieties associated to the Coxeter classes of the algebraic groups 2A2, 2B2 and 2G2 are affine algebraic curves. We produce explicit projective models of the closures of these curves. Furthermore for $d$ the Coxeter…
The characteristic numbers of smooth plane quartics are computed using intersection theory on a component of the moduli space of stable maps. This completes the verification of Zeuthen's prediction of characteristic numbers of smooth plane…
We parametrize the commensurability classes of curves on Shimura surfaces that are totally geodesic, i.e., the commensurability classes of so-called $\mathbb{C}$-Fuchsian subgroups. In particular, if a Shimura surface contains one…
We classify 'primitive normal compactifications' of C^2 (i.e. normal analytic surfaces containing C^2 for which the curve at infinity is irreducible), compute the moduli space of these surfaces and their groups of auomorphisms. In…
We compute the algebraic equation of the universal family over the Kenyon-Smillie $(2,3,4)$-Teichm\"uller curve and give a nice geometric description of the torsion map. Moreover, we re-prove independently that the found algebraic equation…
