Let $\mathcal C$ be a real plane algebraic curve defined by the resultant of two polynomials (resp. by the discriminant of a polynomial). Geometrically such a curve is the projection of the intersection of the surfaces $P(x,y,z)=Q(x,y,z)=0$…

The edges of the characteristic imset polytope, $\operatorname{CIM}_p$, were recently shown to have strong connections to causal discovery as many algorithms could be interpreted as greedy restricted edge-walks, even though only a strict…

Branched covers of the complex projective line ramified over $0,1$ and $\infty$ (Grothendieck's {\em dessins d'enfant}) of fixed genus and degree are effectively enumerated. More precisely, branched covers of a given ramification profile…

We treat the problem of defining, and characterising in a practical way, an appropriate class of distinguished curves for Poincar\'e-Einstein manifolds, and other conformally singular geometries. These "generalised geodesics" agree with…

Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in general position in the plane. Let $R$ be a set of $n$ points disjoint from $P$ such that for every $x,y \in P$ the line through $x$ and $y$ contains a point in $R$ outside of the segment delimited by $x$…

We generalize the notion of quasielliptic curves, which have infinitesimal symmetries and exist only in characteristic two and three, to a remarkable hierarchy of regular curves having infinitesimal symmetries, defined in all…

Graphical designs are subsets of vertices of a graph that perfectly average a selected set of eigenvectors of the Graph Laplacian. We show that in highly-structured graphs, graphical designs can coincide with highly structured and…

Let $X$ be a complex projective variety defined over $\mathbb R$. Recently, Bernardi and the first author introduced the notion of admissible rank with respect to $X$. This rank takes into account only decompositions that are stable under…

All parabolic geometries, i.e. Cartan geometries with homogeneous model a real generalized flag manifold, admit highly interesting classes of distinguished curves. The geodesics of a projective class of connections on a manifold, conformal…

How does one generalize differential geometric constructs such as curvature of a manifold to the discrete world of graphs and other combinatorial structures? This problem carries significant importance for analyzing models of discrete…

Let $(\Sigma,p)$ be a pointed Riemann surface of genus $g\geq 1$. For any integer $k\geq 1$, we parametrize the space of meromorphic quadratic differentials on $\Sigma$ with a pole of order $(k+2)$ at $p$, having a connected critical graph…

Let G be a finite group. Denoting by cd(G) the set of degrees of the irreducible complex characters of G, we consider the character degree graph of G: this is the (simple undirected) graph whose vertices are the prime divisors of the…

For a finite dimensional vector space G we define the k-th generic syzygy scheme Gensyz_k(G) by explicit equations. We show that the syzygy scheme Syz(f) of any syzygy in the linear strand of a projective variety X which is cut out by…

In this paper, a construction of an infinite dimensional associative algebra, which will be called a \emph{Surface Algebra}, is associated in a "canonical" way to a dessin d'enfant, or more generally, a cellularly embedded graph in a…

We study genus $4$ curves over finite fields and two invariants of the $p$-torsion part of their Jacobians: the $a$-number ($a$) and $p$-rank ($f$). We collect and analyze statistical data of curves over $\mathbb{F}_p$ for $p=3,5,7,11$ and…

On a general hypersurface of degree $d\leq n$ in $\mathbb P^n$ or $\mathbb P^n$ itself, we prove the existence of curves of any genus and high enough degree depending on the genus passing through the expected number $t$ of general points or…

We give synthetic proofs of many new results in triangle geometry, focusing especially on fixed points of certain affine maps which are defined in terms of the cevian triangle $DEF$ of a point $P$ with respect to a given triangle $ABC$, as…

It is proven that for any topological or analytical types of isolated singular points of plane curves, there exists a non-real irreducible plane algebraic curve of degree $d$ which goes through $d^2$ real distinct points and has imaginary…

Regular algebraic surfaces isogenous to a higher product of curves can be obtained from finite groups with ramification structures. We find unmixed ramification structures for finite groups constructed as p-quotients of particular infinite…

A graph G is said to be 1-perfectly orientable (1-p.o. for short) if it admits an orientation such that the out-neighborhood of every vertex is a clique in G. The class of 1-p.o. graphs forms a common generalization of the classes of…
