Let E be an elliptic curve of conductor N and rank one over Q. So there is a non-constant morphism X+0(N) --> E defined over Q, where X+0(N) = X0(N)/wN and wN is the Fricke involution of the modular curve X+0(N). Under this morphism the…

Let $F$ be a family of pseudo-disks in the plane, and $P$ be a finite subset of $F$. Consider the hypergraph $H(P,F)$ whose vertices are the pseudo-disks in $P$ and the edges are all subsets of $P$ of the form $\{D \in P \mid D \cap S \neq…

For a given graph $H$, we say that a graph $G$ has a perfect $H$-subdivision tiling if $G$ contains a collection of vertex-disjoint subdivisions of $H$ covering all vertices of $G.$ Let $\delta_{\mathrm{sub}}(n, H)$ be the smallest integer…

We study the stack B_{h,g,n} of uniform cyclic covers of degree n between smooth curves of genus h and g and, for h >> g, present it as an open substack of a vector bundle over the universal Jacobian stack of M_g. We use this description to…

Let $p$ be a prime and let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$. Let $E/K$ be an elliptic curve with additive reduction. In this paper, we study the topological group structure of the set of points of good reduction of $E(K)$. In…

The Riemann -Rock theorem plays a central role in the theory of Riemann surfaces with applications to several branches in Mathematics and Physics. Suppose $X$ ia a compact Riemann surface of genus $g$ and $P \in X$. By the Riemann-Roch…

In this paper we compute the order (or Feng-Rao) bound on the minimum distance of one-point algebraic geometry codes, when the Weierstrass semigroup at the point Q is an Arf semigroup. The results developed to that purpose also provide the…

Let $G$ be a group which is the semidirect product of a normal subgroup $N$ and some subgroup $T$. Let $I^n(G)$, $n\ge 1$, denote the powers of the augmentation ideal $I(G)$ of the group ring $\Z(G)$. Using homological methods the groups…

We develop a new method for establishing the extremality in the closed cone of effective curves on the moduli space of curves and determine the extremality of many boundary $1$-strata. As a consequence, by using a general criterion for…

The following problem is considered: if $H$ is a semiregular abelian subgroup of a transitive permutation group $G$ acting on a finite set $X$, find conditions for (non) existence of $G$-invariant partitions of $X$. Conditions presented in…

We consider the problem of determining Weierstrass gaps and pure Weierstrass gaps at several points. Using the notion of relative maximality in generalized Weierstrass semigroups due to Delgado \cite{D}, we present a description of these…

In this paper, we examine algebraic geometric (AG) codes associated with curves generated by separated polynomials, and we create AG codes and quantum stabilizer codes from these curves by varying their parameters. Our research involves a…

In this paper for each $n\ge g\ge 0$ we consider the moduli stack $\widetilde{\mathcal U}^{ns}_{g,n}$ of curves $(C,p_1,\ldots,p_n,v_1,\ldots,v_n)$ of arithmetic genus $g$ with $n$ smooth marked points $p_i$ and nonzero tangent vectors…

We calculate the classes of the universal hyperelliptic Weierstrass divisor $\bar{{\mathcal H}}_{g,w}$ and the universal $g^1_2$ divisor $\bar{{\mathcal H}}_{g,g^1_2}$. Our results are expressed in terms of a basis for $Cl(\bar{{\mathcal…

We study the automorphisms of modular curves associated to Cartan subgroups of $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z)$ and certain subgroups of their normalizers. We prove that if $n$ is large enough, all the automorphisms are induced by the…

A set cover of a hypergraph $H$ is a set of vertices intersecting every hyperedge. In the minimum sum set cover problem, vertices are selected one by one; each edge pays the position of the first vertex that hits it, and the objective is to…

The Geil-Matsumoto bound (GM bound) constrains the number of rational points on a curve over a finite field in terms of the Weierstrass semigroup of any of the points on the curve. For general numerical semigroups, the GM bound lacks a…

Many problems in extremal combinatorics can be reduced to determining the independence number of a specific auxiliary hypergraph. We present two such problems, one from discrete geometry and one from hypergraph Tur\'an theory. Using results…

Given a divisor on a tropical curve, we associate to each point of the curve a Weierstrass gap sequence. We investigate structural properties of these gap sequences and explore their relationship with the Weierstrass gap sequences of line…
