A smooth ruled surface in 4-space has only parabolic points or inflection points of real type. We show, by means of contact with transverse planes, that at a parabolic point, there exist two tangent directions determining two planes along…
It is proved that a generic simple, closed, piecewise regular curve in space can be the boundary of only finitely many developable surfaces with nonvanishing mean curvature. The relevance of this result in the context of the dynamics of…

We study curve singularities in a smooth surface relative to a smooth boundary curve. We consider the semiuniversal deformations and equisingular deformations of curves with a fixed local intersection number $w$ with the boundary, and prove…
Given two semistable, non potentially isotrivial elliptic surfaces over a curve $C$ defined over a field of characteristic zero or finitely generated over its prime field, we show that any compatible family of effective isometries of the…
In this paper we study G-surfaces, a rather unknown surface class originally defined by Calapso, and show that the coordinate surfaces of a Guichard net are G-surfaces. Based on this observation, we present distinguished Combescure…
This work investigates slant timelike-ruled surfaces and their evolute offsets in Minkowski 3-space $\mathbb{E}_{1}^{3}$. Using the symmetry of evolute curves, we derive a parametric formulation for skew timelike-ruled surfaces and…

We study the structure of collections of algebraic curves in three dimensions that have many curve-curve incidences. In particular, let $k$ be a field and let $\mathcal{L}$ be a collection of $n$ space curves in $k^3$, with…
In this paper, following Grothendieck {\it Esquisse d'un programme}, which was motivated by Belyi's work, we study some properties of surfaces $X$ which are triangulated by (possibly ideal) isometric equilateral triangles of one of the…
In Euclidean plane geometry, cycloids are curves which are homothetic to their respective bi-evolutes. In smooth normed planes, cycloids can be similarly defined, and they are characterized by their radius of curvature functions being…
The geometry of closed surfaces equipped with a Euclidean metric with finitely many conical points of arbitrary angle is studied. The main result is that the image of a non-closed geodesic has 0 distance from the set of conical points.…
We continue our study of the Hodge theory of degenerations, Part I of which covered consequences of the Decomposition Theorem and Part II of which concerned geometric applications in the isolated singularity case. The focus here in Part III…
In the previous paper (arXiv:0804.0701), the authors gave criteria for A_{k+1}-type singularities on wave fronts. Using them, we show in this paper that there is a duality between singular points and inflection points on wave fronts in the…
In Euclidean space we study surfaces with constant anisotropic mean curvature $\Lambda$ of the Dirichlet energy $\int_\Omega( |Du|^2+\Lambda u)$. We prove the existence of non-rotational surfaces with $\Lambda=0$ and foliated by a…

In this paper, we analyze the Hessian locus associated to a general cubic hypersurface, by describing for every $n$ its singular locus and its desingularization. The strategy is based on strong connections between the Hessian and the…
