We have developed in the past several algorithms with intrinsic complexity bounds for the problem of point finding in real algebraic varieties. Our aim here is to give a comprehensive presentation of the geometrical tools which are…
Some physical problems as flame front propagation or Laplacian growth without surface tension have nice analytical solutions which replace its complex integro-differential motion equations by simple differential equations of poles motion in…
In this paper we establish the exact growth of the solution of the singular quasilinear p-parabolic obstacle problem near the free boundary from which we deduce its porosity.
For an old problem of Euler's elastica we prove the novel global property that every planar elastica with non-constant monotone curvature is uniquely minimal subject to the clamped boundary condition. We also partly extend this unique…
Consider the following variational problem: among all curves in $\mathbb{R}^n$ of fixed length with prescribed end points and prescribed tangents at the end points, minimise the $L^\infty$-norm of the curvature. We show that the solutions…

A cold gas of particles with anisotropic interactions of general form, due to a polarizing field, is studied. Special cases are atoms or molecules with dipole-dipole or quadrupole-quadrupole interactions. It is shown that the angular…
Discrete analogs of extrema of curvature and generalizations of the four-vertex theorem to the case of polygons and polyhedra are suggested and developed. For smooth curves and polygonal lines in the plane, a formula relating the number of…
We study singularities and geometric properties of surfaces given by the singular loci of normal congruence of frontals with pure-frontal singular points. These surfaces consist of the normal ruled surface and focal surfaces of the initial…
We use Monte Carlo simulations to study the finite temperature behavior of vortices in the XY- model for tangent vector order on curved backgrounds. Contrary to naive expectations, we show that the underlying geometry does not affect the…
We determine the basepoint-freeness threshold of a very general polarized abelian surface over the field of complex numbers. We also give the first example of a polarized abelian surface whose basepoint-freeness threshold is irrational.
We study the dynamics of an entangled, isotropic solution of polar filaments coupled by molecular motors which generate relative motion of the filaments in two and three dimensions. We investigate the stability of the homogeneous state for…
An exact solution to the dynamic equations for a massive boson traveling in a pp-wave gravitational background under the influence of the force induced by curvature, is presented. We focus on the effect of anomalous polarization-curvature…
We study focal surfaces of (wave) fronts associated to unbounded principal curvatures near non-degenerate singular points of initial fronts. We give characterizations of singularities of those focal surfaces in terms of types of…

We study, for plane complex branches of genus one, the topological type of its generic polar curve, as a function of the semigroup of values and the Zariski invariant of the branch. We improve some results given by Casas-Alvero in 2023,…
We consider closed planar curves with fixed length and arbitrary winding number whose elastic energy depends on an additional density variable and a spontaneous curvature. Working with the inclination angle, the associated $L^2$-gradient…
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…
We define the polar curves and the polar family associated to a projective web and obtain some results about the geometry of the generic element of this family. We also deal with the particular case of foliations and prove the constancy of…
We study the existence of linear series on curves lying on an Enriques surface and general in their complete linear system. Using a method that works also below the Bogomolov-Reider range, we compute, in all cases, the gonality of such…
