We construct and classify, in the case of two complex dimensions, the possible tangent cones at points of limit spaces of non-collapsed sequences of K\"ahler-Einstein metrics with cone singularities.
A superspecial curve is a (non-singular) curve over a field of positive characteristic whose Jacobian variety is isomorphic to a product of supersingular elliptic curves over the algebraic closure. It is known that for given genus and…
We prove that for each characteristic direction $[v]$ of a tangent to the identity diffeomorphism of order $k+1$ in $\mathbb{C}^2$ there exist either an analytic curve of fixed points tangent to $[v]$ or $k$ parabolic manifolds where all…
We study the "generic" degenerations of curves with two singular points when the points merge. First, the notion of generic degeneration is defined precisely. Then a method to classify the possible results of generic degenerations is…
This paper addresses a very classical topic that goes back at least to Pl\"ucker: how to understand a plane curve singularity using its polar curves. Here, we explicitly construct the singular points of a plane curve singularity directly…
We study the geometry of varieties parametrizing degree d rational and elliptic curves in P^n intersecting fixed general linear spaces and tangent to a fixed hyperplane H with fixed multiplicities along fixed general linear subspaces of H.…
First, this paper presents a systematic procedure for constructing criteria for singularities of curves of finite multiplicities in $\boldsymbol{R}^N$. Based on this method, we provide explicit criteria for singularities of multiplicities…
We introduce a novel formulation for the evolution of parametric curves by anisotropic curve shortening flow in ${\mathbb R}^d$, $d\geq2$. The reformulation hinges on a suitable manipulation of the parameterization's tangential velocity,…
We enumerate the number of surfaces of degree $d$ in $P^3$ having a singular line of order $k$, passing through $\delta$ generic points (where $\delta$ is the dimension of moduli space of such surfaces).
For real irreducible algebraic curves of the seventh degree, there are 22 types of singular points of multiplicity six, 174 types of singular points of multiplicity five, and at least 182 types of singular points of multiplicity four. For…
In this paper, we study the deformation theory of degenerate algebraic curves on singular varieties which appear as the degenerate limit of families of varieties. For this purpose, we systematically develop a new method to calculate the…
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…
Below we consider the evolutes of plane real-algebraic curves and discuss some of their complex and real-algebraic properties. In particular, for a given degree $d\ge 2$, we provide lower bounds for the following four numerical invariants:…
In this paper we compute the number of rational curves with one node passing through a given number of points, lines and tangent to a given number of planes in $\mathbb{P}^3$.
We study the local symplectic algebra of curves. We use the method of algebraic restrictions to classify symplectic $W_8$ and $W_9$ singularities. We use discrete symplectic invariants to distinguish symplectic singularities of the curves.…
Kontsevich's formula for rational plane curves is a recursive relation for the number $N_d$ of degree $d$ rational curves in $\mathbb{P}^2$ passing through $3d-1$ general points. We provide two proofs of this recursion: the first more…
In this paper we classify curves of genus two over a perfect field k of characteristic two. We find rational models of curves with a given arithmetic structure for the ramification divisor and we give necessary and sufficient conditions for…
A plane curve is called strange if its tangent line at any smooth point passes through a fixed point, called the strange point. In this paper, we study $\mathbb{A}^1$-curves on the complement of a rational strange curve of degree $p$ in…
In this paper we classify curves of genus 2 with group of automorphisms isomorphic to D_8 or D_12 over an arbitrary field k (of characteristic different from 2 in the D_8 case and from 2 and 3 in the D_{12} case) up to k-isomorphism. As an…
We present algorithms for parametrizing by radicals an irreducible curve, not necessarily plane, when the genus is less o equal to 4 and they are defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. In addition, we also…
