In this work we give a complete description of the collection of curves of tangencies induced by germs of foliation pairs -- non dicritical and dicritical -- given by analytic differential equations with degenerated non dicritical and…

We characterize plane rational curves of degree four with two or more inner Galois points. A computer verifies the existence of plane rational curves of degree four with three inner Galois points. This would be the first example of a curve…

For every $g\geq 2$ we distinguish real period matrices of real Riemann surfaces of topological type $(g,0,0)$ from the ones of topological type $(g,k,1)$, with $k$ equal to one or two for $g$ even or odd respectively (Theorem B). To that…

We study families of rational curves on an algebraic variety satisfying incidence conditions. We prove an analogue of bend-and-break: that is, we show that under suitable conditions, such a family must contain reducibles. In the case of…

The inhomogeneous metric theory for the set of simultaneously $\psi$-approximable points lying on a planar curve is developed. Our results naturally incorporate the homogeneous Khintchine-Jarnik type theorems recently established in [Ann.…

This paper is concerned with rational curves on real classical groups. Our contributions are three-fold: (i) We determine the structure of quadratic rational curves on real classical groups. As a consequence, we completely classify…

This survey paper discusses some of the recent progress in the study of rational curves on algebraic varieties. It was written for the survey volume of the priority programme "Global Methods in Complex Geometry", supported by the DFG. To…

This is a follow-up paper of arXiv:1805.00115, where rational curves in surfaces that satisfy general positioned point and cross-ratio conditions were enumerated. A suitable correspondence theorem provided in arXiv:1509.07453 allowed us to…

A plane curve $C\subset\mathbb{P}^2$ of degree $d$ is called \emph{blocking} if every $\mathbb{F}_q$-line in the plane meets $C$ at some $\mathbb{F}_q$-point. We prove that the proportion of blocking curves among those of degree $d$ is…

In 2000, Galbraith and McKee heuristically derived a formula that estimates the probability that a randomly chosen elliptic curve over a fixed finite prime field has a prime number of rational points. We show how their heuristics can be…

We describe a method for counting maps of curves of given genus (and variable moduli) to $\Bbb P^2$, essentially by splitting the $\Bbb P^2$ in two; then specialising to the case of genus 0 we show that the method of quantum cohomology may…

In her thesis, Mirzakhani showed that the number of simple closed geodesics of length $\leq L$ on a closed, connected, oriented hyperbolic surface $X$ of genus $g$ is asymptotic to $L^{6g-6}$ times a constant depending on the geometry of…

We show that various loci of stable curves of sufficiently large genus admitting degree $d$ covers of positive genus curves define non-tautological algebraic cycles on $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{g,N}$, assuming the non-vanishing of the $d$-th…

We prove a strong relation between Chern and log Chern invariants of algebraic surfaces. For a given arrangement of curves, we find nonsingular projective surfaces with Chern ratio arbitrarily close to the log Chern ratio of the log surface…

We investigate the asympotic behaviour of the moduli space of morphisms from the rational curve to a given variety when the degree becomes large. One of the crucial tools is the homogeneous coordinate ring of the variey. First we explain in…

Let $X$ be a germ of real analytic vector field at $({\mathbb R}^{2},0)$ with an algebracally isolated singularity. We say that $X$ is a topological generalized curve if there are no topological saddle-nodes in its reduction of…

We present three families of pairs of geometrically non-isomorphic curves whose Jacobians are isomorphic to one another as unpolarized abelian varieties. Each family is parametrized by an open subset of P^1. The first family consists of…

We prove algebraic analogues of the facts that a curve on a surface with self-intersection number zero is homotopic to a cover of a simple curve, and that two simple curves on a surface with intersection number zero can be isotoped to be…

We show that measures of irrationality on very general codimension two complete intersections and very general complete intersection surfaces are multiplicative in the degrees of the defining equations. This confirms some cases of a…

We introduce the notion of resultant of two planar curves in the tropical geometry framework. We prove that the tropicalization of the algebraic resultant can be used to compute the stable intersection of two tropical plane curves. It is…
