For each proper divisor d of (r^2-r+1), r being a power of a prime, maximal curves over a finite field with r^2 elements covered by the Hermitian curve of genus 1/2((r^2-r+1)/d-1) are constructed.

Let $k$ be an arbitrary field, the purpose of this work is to provide families of positive integers $\mathcal{A} = \{d_1,\ldots,d_n\}$ such that either the toric ideal $I_{\mathcal A}$ of the affine monomial curve $\mathcal C =…

We investigate formal ribbons on curves. Roughly speaking, formal ribbon is a family of locally linearly compact vector spaces on a curve. We establish a one-to-one correspondence between formal ribbons on curves plus some geometric data…

A $k$-nucleus of a normal rational curve in PG$(n,F)$ is the intersection over all $k$-dimensional osculating subspaces of the curve ($k\in\{-1,0,...,n-1\}$). It is well known that for characteristic zero all nuclei are empty. In case of…

We show that the set of F_q-rational points of either certain Fermat curves or certain F_q-Frobenius non-classical plane curves is a complete (k,d)-arc in P^2(F_q), where k and d are respectively the number of F_q-rational points and the…

We give necessary and sufficient topological conditions for a simple closed curve on a real rational surface to be approximable by smooth rational curves. We also study approximation by smooth rational curves with given complex…

For every $d\geq 2$, we construct a subset $D\subseteq \{1,2,\dots,n\}^d$ of size $n-o(n)$ such that every affine hyperplane of $\mathbb{R}^d$ intersects $D$ in at most $d$ points, and every hypersphere of $\mathbb{R}^n$ intersects $D$ in…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be an abstract complete intersection and let $P$ be a prime ideal of $A$. In [1] Avramov proved that $A_P$ is an abstract complete intersection. In this paper we give an elementary proof of this result.

Let $O$ be an order in a quadratic number field $K$ with ring of integers $D$, such that the conductor $\mathfrak F = f D$ is a prime ideal of $O$, where $f\in\mathbb Z$ is a prime. We give a complete description of the $\mathfrak…

We define formal orbifolds over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic as curves together with some branch data. Their \'etale coverings and their fundamental groups are also defined. These fundamental group approximates…

Let p be a prime and let A be a subset of F_p. For k<p let X_{A,k} be the (k-1)-dimensional complex on the vertex set F_p with a full (k-2)-skeleton whose (k-1)-faces are k-subsets S of F_p such that the sum of the elements of S belongs to…

Let $(A,\frak m)$ be an excellent normal local ring with algebraically closed residue class field. Given integrally closed $\frak m$-primary ideals $I\supset J$, we show that there is a composition series between $I$ and $J$, by integrally…

We construct the canonical structure of an irreducible projective variety on the set of connected curves of degree $d$ in $\Bbb P^n$ with rational components (some components can be multiple). The set of rational curves is open subset in…

We use stable maps, and their stable lifts to the Semple bundle variety of second-order curvilinear data, to calculate certain characteristic numbers for rational plane curves. These characteristic numbers involve first-order (tangency) and…

Suppose $\mathcal{X}$ is an $n$-correct set of nodes in the plane, that is, it admits a unisolvent interpolation with bivariate polynomials of total degree less than or equal to $n.$ Then an algebraic curve $q$ of degree $k\le n$ can pass…

Let X be a complex algebraic variety, and L(X) be the scheme of formal arcs in X. Let f be an arc whose image is not contained in the singularities of X. We show that the formal neighborhood of f in L(X) admits a decomposition into a…

Let X be a complete intersection of two hypersurfaces F_n and F_k in the projective space P^5 of degree n and k respectively with n >= k, such that the singularities of X are nodal and F_k is smooth. We prove that if the threefold X has at…

We consider complete intersection ideals in a polynomial ring over a field of characteristic zero that are stable under the action of the symmetric group permuting the variables. We determine the possible representation types for these…

In \cite{KP}, the last two authors introduced formal orbifold curves defined over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristics. They studied both \'etale and Nori fundamental group schemes associated to such objects. Our aim…
