Given a smooth curve defined over a field $k$ that admits a non-singular plane model over $\overline{k}$, a fixed separable closure of $k$, it does not necessarily have a non-singular plane model defined over the field $k$. We determine…

In this article, we study the existence of new and general type meromorphic $1$-forms on curves through explicit construction. Specifically, we have constructed a large family of new and general type meromorphic $1$-forms on $\mathbb{P}^1,$…

We consider the homotopical dynamics on compact orientable surfaces of positive genus g. We establish a sufficient and necessary algebraic criterion for homotopy classes with infinitely many periodic points of maps on such surfaces in terms…

We show that mapping class groups associated to all types of real algebraic curves are virtual duality groups. We also deduce some results about the orbifold homotopy groups of the moduli spaces of real algebraic curves. We achieve these…

The purpose of this article is to give an explicit formula for all curves of constant torsion $\tau$ in the unit two-sphere $S^2(1)$. These curves and their basic properties have been known since the 1890's, and some of these properties are…

The geodesic total curvature of rectifiable spherical curves is analyzed. We extend to the case of high dimension spheres the explicit formula that holds true for curves supported into the 2-sphere. For this purpose, we take advantage of…

We prove that a finite type curve is an $\xi$-asymptotic line (without parabolic points) of a suitable plane field. It is also given an explicit example of a hyperbolic closed finite type $\xi$-asymptotic line. These results obtained here…

The notion of covering type was recently introduced by Karoubi and Weibel to measure the complexity of a topological space by means of good coverings. When X has the homotopy type of a finite CW-complex, its covering type coincides with the…

For any smooth Hurwitz curve $\mathcal{H}_n: \, XY^n+YZ^n+X^nZ=0$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{p}$, an explict description of its Weierstrass points for the morphism of lines is presented. As a consequence, the full automorphism group…
