In this note, we obtain various formulas for the curvature of the $L^2$ metric on the direct image of the relative canonical bundle twisted by a holomorphic line bundle endowed with a positively curved metric with analytic singularities,…
An approach to defining quadratic implicit curves is to prescribe two tangent lines and a secant line going through the points of tangency. This paper will show that this method can be generalized to a higher number of tangents, resulting…
We show that a general plane curve of degree at least 4 is uniquely determined by the full set of its bitangent lines. This problem has an elementary solution for degree at least 5, and the paper is almost entirely devoted to curves of…
In this article we give explicit formulas for the equations of a generic genus $4$ curve in terms of its theta constants. The method uses the Prym construction and the beautiful classical geometry around it.
Any smooth projective curve embeds into $\mathbb{P}^3$. More generally, any curve embeds into a rationally connected variety of dimension at least three. We prove conversely that if every curve embeds in a threefold $X$, then $X$ is…
This article deals with applications of Voronin's universality theorem for the Riemann zeta-function $\zeta$. Among other results we prove that every plane smooth curve appears up to a small error in the curve generated by the values…
We construct universal geometric coefficients, over the integers, the rationals, and the reals, for cluster algebras arising from the once-punctured torus. We verify that the once-punctured torus has a property called the Null Tangle…
We deal with linear programming problems involving absolute values in their formulations, so that they are no more expressible as standard linear programs. The presence of absolute values causes the problems to be nonconvex and nonsmooth,…
We give a characterization of smooth quadrics in terms of the existence of full exceptional collections of certain type, which generalizes a result of C.Vial for projective spaces.
In this paper, we focus on some characterizations for curves in the Galilean and Pseudo-Galilean space.
A novel and deterministic algorithm is presented to detect whether two given rational plane curves are related by means of a similarity, which is a central question in Pattern Recognition. As a by-product it finds all such similarities, and…
A telegraphic survey of some of the standard results and conjectures about the set $C({\bf Q})$ of rational points on a smooth projective absolutely connected curve $C$ over ${\bf Q}$.
The (proper) power graph of a group is a graph whose vertex set is the set of all (nontrivial) elements of the group and two distinct vertices are adjacent if one is a power of the other. Various kinds of planarity of (proper) power graphs…
A \emph{thrackle} is a graph drawn in the plane so that every pair of its edges meet exactly once, either at a common end vertex or in a proper crossing. Conway's thrackle conjecture states that the number of edges is at most the number of…
The deformation theory of curves is studied by using the canonical ideal. The problem of lifting curves with automorphisms is reduced to a lifting problem of linear representations.
Variational analysis presents a unified theory encompassing in particular both smoothness and convexity. In a Euclidean space, convex sets and smooth manifolds both have straightforward local geometry. However, in the most basic hybrid case…
We use the solution set of a real ordinary differential equation which has order n which is at least 2 to construct a smooth curve C in R^n. We describe when C is a proper embedding of infinite length with finite total first curvature.
We determine the zeta functions of trinomial curves in terms of Gauss sums and Jacobi sums, and we obtain an explicit formula of the genus of a trinomial curve over a finite field, then we study the conditions for a trinomial curve to be a…
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 develop a method for computing all the {\it generalized asymptotes} of a real plane algebraic curve $\cal C$ over $\Bbb C$ implicitly defined by an irreducible polynomial $f(x,y)\in {\Bbb R}[x,y]$. The approach is based on the notion of…
