We characterize plane curve germes non-degenerate in Kouchnirenko's sense in terms of characteristics and intersection multiplicities of branches.
In this note we recall the classical notion of an algebraically rectifiable plane curve going back to J. A. Serret, E. Laguerre and G. Humbert. We provide new criteria of algebraic rectifiability, relate this notion to quadratic…
Given a point S and any irreducible algebraic curve C in P^2 (with any type of singularities), we consider the caustic of reflection defined as the Zariski closure of the envelope of the reflected lines from the point S on the curve C. We…
We are interested in the study of caustics by reflection of irreducible algebraic planar curves (in the complex projective plane). We prove the birationality of the caustic map (for a generic light position). We also give simple formulas…
The Severi variety $V_{d,n}$ of plane curves of a given degree $d$ and exactly $n$ nodes admits a map to the Hilbert scheme $\mathbb{P}^{2[n]}$ of zero-dimensional subschemes of $\mathbb{P}^2$ of degree $n$. This map assigns to every curve…
We present a complete classification of complex plane algebraic curves, equipped with the induced Euclidean, up to global bilipschitz homeomorphism.
We give a formula to compute the dimension of the generic component of the moduli space of an irreducible germ of curve in the complex plane.
We formulate and prove a weighted version of Zariski's hyperplane section theorem on the topological fundamental groups of the complements of hypersurfaces in a projective space. As an application, we calculate fundamental groups of the…
In this paper we give an asymptotic bound of the cardinality of Zariski multiples of particular plane singular curves. These curves have only nodes and cusps as singularities and are obtained as branched curves of ramified covering of the…
In this article, we prove that an algorithm introduced by the author in a previous work and giving the generic dimension of the moduli space of a germ of curve in the complex plane that is the union of smooth curves, can be used identically…
We study the existence of some irreducible projective plane curves of degree~$8$ with some prescribed topological type of singularities in the algebraic and symplectic worlds.
We study the Betti tables of reducible algebraic curves with a focus on connected line arrangements and provide a general formula for computing the quadratic strand of the Betti table for line arrangements that satisfy certain hypotheses.…
The purpose of this paper is two-fold. We first prove a series of results, concerned with the notion of Zariski multiplicity, mainly for non-singular algebraic curves. These results are required in the paper "A Theory of Branches for…
We give explicit computational algorithms to construct minimal degree (always $\le 4$) ramified covers of $\Prj^1$ for algebraic curves of genus 5 and 6. This completes the work of Schicho and Sevilla (who dealt with the $g \le 4$ case) on…
We enumerate plane complex algebraic curves of a given degree with one singularity of any given topological type. Our approach is to compute the homology classes of the corresponding equisingular strata in the parameter spaces of plane…
The paper gives topological as well as rigid isotopy classification of smooth irreducible algebraic curves in the real projective 3-space for the case when the degree of the curve is at most six and its genus is at most one.
The singularity space consists of all germs $(X,x)$, with $X$ a Noetherian scheme and $x$ a point, where we identify two such germs if they become the same after an analytic extension of scalars. This is a Polish space for the metric given…
In this article we give an implementation of the standard algorithm to segment a real algebraic plane curve defined implicitly. Our implementation is efficient and simpler than previous. We use global information to count the number of…
Let ${\mathcal {B}}$ be a reducible reduced plane curve. We introduce a new point of view to study the topology of $(\PP^2, {\mathcal {B}})$ via Galois covers and Alexander polynomials. We show its effectiveness through examples of Zariski…
We consider the locus of irreducible nonsingular rational curves of degree d Pn, n>2, meeting a generic collection of linear subspaces. When this locus is 0 (resp 1)- dimensional, we compute (recursively) its degree (resp. geometric genus).…
