This paper describes the foundations of a differential geometry of a quaternionic curves. The Frenet-Serret equations and the evolutes and evolvents of a particular quaternionic curve are accordingly determined. This new formulation takes…

Let $k(d)$ be the maximal possible integer $k$ such that there exists a plane curve of degree $d$ with an $A_k$--singularity. We construct a plane curve of degree $28s+9$ ($s\in\Z_{\ge 0}$) which has an $A_k$--singularity with…

In this paper we investigate Uludag's method for constructing new curves whose fundamental groups are central extensions of the fundamental group of the original curve by finite cyclic groups. In the first part, we give some generalizations…

We present a (possibly) new sphere eversion based on the contractibility* of a certain subset of the space of immersions of the circle in the plane. (*: by strong deformation retraction)

We use twisted stable maps to compute the number of rational degree d plane curves having prescribed contacts to a smooth plane cubic.

We construct the quantum curve for the Gromov-Witten theory of the complex projective line.

The geodesic total curvature of rectifiable spherical curves is analyzed. We extend to the case of high dimension spheres the explicit formula that holds true for curves supported into the 2-sphere. For this purpose, we take advantage of…

Generating Hilbert curves in Z^2 using L-systems appears to be efficient and easy

Define a ``slice'' curve as the intersection of a plane with the surface of a polytope, i.e., a convex polyhedron in three dimensions. We prove that a slice curve develops on a plane without self-intersection. The key tool used is a…

Physical processes that manifest as tangential vector fields on a sphere are common in geophysical and environmental sciences. These naturally occurring vector fields are often subject to physical constraints, such as being curl-free or…

We give a method to construct explicitly a supersingular curve of given genus g in characteristic 2.

We define a plane curve to be threadable if it can rigidly pass through a point-hole in a line L without otherwise touching L. Threadable curves are in a sense generalizations of monotone curves. We have two main results. The first is a…

We present a quantum deformation theory of the Airy curve and use it to establish a version of mirror symmetry of a point.

We show how to construct a cubic partial cube from any simplicial arrangement of lines or pseudolines in the projective plane. As a consequence, we find nine new infinite families of cubic partial cubes as well as many sporadic examples.

We demonstrate a method for exact determination of the quadratic curve of minimal energy and minimal curvature variation through three non-colinear points in the plane, including methods to determine the tangent vector and curvature at any…

We present an algorithm for constructing a map $\mathbb{P}^2\to\mathbb{P}^2$ with a given branching curve. The stepping stone is the ramification curve, which is obtained as the linear normalization of the branching curve.

We construct genus one curves on base extensions of generic Severi--Brauer varieties of a given index and period which are versal objects for families of geometrically elliptic normal curves. We also compute the periods and indices of these…

We develop an essentially algebraic method to study biharmonic curves into an implicit surface. Although our method is rather general, it is especially suitable to study curves into surfaces defined by a polynomial equation: in particular,…

For a smooth plane cubic $B$, we count curves $C$ of degree $d$ such that the normalizations of $C\backslash B$ are isomorphic to $\Bbb A^1$, for $d\leq7$ (for $d=7$ under some assumption). We also count plane rational quartic curves…

A space curve is determined by conformal arc-length, conformal curvature, and conformal torsion, up to M\"obius transformations. We use the spaces of osculating circles and spheres to give a conformally defined moving frame of a curve in…
