The pedal of a curve in the Euclidean plane is a classical subject which has a singular point at the inflection point of the original curve or the pedal point. The primitive of a curve is a curve given by the inverse construction for making…
A simple closed curve in the boundary surface of a handlebody is called primitive if there exists an essential disk in the handlebody whose boundary circle intersects the curve transversely in a single point. The primitive curve complex is…
The evolute of a plane curve is the envelope of its normals. Replacing the normals by the lines that make a fixed angle with the curve yields a new curve, called the evolutoid. We prefer the term ``skew evolute", and we study the geometry…
We investigate helicoidal (screw) surfaces generated not only by regular curves but also by curves with singular points. For curves with singular points, it is useful to use frontals in the Euclidean plane. The helicoidal surface of a…
We investigate vertices for plane curves with singular points. As plane curves with singular points, we consider Legendre curves (respectively, Legendre immersions) in the unit tangent bundle over the Euclidean plane and frontals…
A number field $K$ is primitive if $K$ and $\mathbb{Q}$ are the only subextensions of $K$. Let $C$ be a curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. We call an algebraic point $P\in C(\overline{\mathbb{Q}})$ primitive if the number field…
We investigate not only the associated curves of regular plane curves, but also those of Legendre curves. As associated curves, we consider Bertrand regular plane curves and Bertrand Legendre curves. These curves contain parallel, evolute…
In this paper we investigate the relationships between envelopes of circle families and some special curves in the plane, such as evolutes, pedals, evolutoids and pedaloids.
A number field $K$ is called primitive if $\mathbb Q$ and $K$ are the only subfields of $K$. Let $X$ be a nice curve over $\mathbb Q$ of genus $g$. A point $P$ of degree $d$ on $X$ is called primitive if the field of definition $\mathbb…
We construct highly singular projective curves and surfaces defined by invariants of primitive complex reflection groups.
For Legendre curves, we consider surfaces of revolution of frontals. The surface of revolution of a frontal can be considered as a framed base surface. We give the curvatures and basic invariants for surfaces of revolution by using the…
We find a geometrical method of analysing the singularities of a plane nodal curve. The main results will be used in a forthcoming paper on geometric Plucker formulas for such curves. Plane nodal curves, that is plane curves having at most…
Pedal and contrapedal curves are important study objects of plane curves. As for a mixed-type Minkowski plane curve, since the definitions of the pedal and contrapedal curves at lightlike points can not always be given, the investigation of…
In this article, we study rectifying curves in arbitrary dimensional Euclidean space. A curve is said to be a rectifying curve if, in all points of the curve, the orthogonal complement of its normal vector contains a fixed point. We…
A primitive multiple curve is a Cohen-Macaulay irreducible projective curve Y that can be locally embedded in a smooth surface, and such that the associated reduced curve Y_red is smooth. The subject of this paper is the study of…
Constructions and exploration of plane algebraic curves has received a new push with the development of automated methods, whose algorithms are continuously improved and implemented in various software packages. We use them to explore the…
The primitive curves are the multiple curves that can be locally embedded in smooth surfaces (we will always suppose that the associated reduced curves are smooth). These curves have been defined and studied by C. Banica and O.Forster in…
The evolute of a curve is the envelope of its normals. In this note we consider a projectively natural discrete analog of this construction: we define projective perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a polygon in the projective plane, and…
In the article, we exhibit a series of new examples of rigid plane curves, that is, curves, whose collection of singularities determines them almost uniquely up to a projective transformation of the plane.
The Legendre curve in the unit tangent bundle over Euclidean plane is a plane curve with a moving frame. We have the (Legendre) curvature of the Legendre curve, and the existence and uniqueness theorems for the curvature are valid. In this…
