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 enumerate the singular algebraic curves in a complete linear system on a smooth projective surface. The system must be suitably ample in a rather precise sense. The curves may have up to eight nodes, or a triple point of a given type and…
We provide a real analog of the Yau-Zaslow formula counting rational curves on $K3$ surfaces.
This is the second part of our work on Zariski decomposition structures, where we compare two different volume type functions for curve classes. The first function is the polar transform of the volume for ample divisor classes. The second…
This text is a presentation of a set of formulae, first found by Vainsencher (for $\delta \leq 6$) and shortly after improved by Kleiman and Piene, counting $\delta$-nodal curves in a complete linear system on a smooth surface, if $\delta…
Using a quadratic version of the Bott residue theorem, we give a quadratic refinement of the count of twisted cubic curves on hypersurfaces and complete intersections in a projective space.
In this paper we prove an incidence bound for points and cubic curves over prime fields. The methods generalise those used by Mohammadi, Pham, and Warren (2021).
We prove upper bounds for the number of rational points on non-singular cubic curves defined over the rationals. The bounds are uniform in the curve and involve the rank of the corresponding Jacobian. The method used in the proof is a…
We study the Seshadri constants of cyclic coverings of smooth surfaces. The existence of an automorphism on these surfaces can be used to produce Seshadri exceptional curves. We give a bound for multiple Seshadri constants on cyclic…
We show that the number of tropical curves of given genus and degree through some given general points in the plane does not depend on the position of the points. In the case when the degree of the curves contains only primitive integral…
We develop a technique to study curves in a variety which has a degeneration into some union of varieties. The class of such varieties is very broad, but the theory becomes particularly useful when the variety has a degeneration into a…
We show that the number of square-tiled surfaces of genus $g$, with $n$ marked points, with one or both of its horizontal and vertical foliations belonging to fixed mapping class group orbits, and having at most $L$ squares, is asymptotic…
Given a smooth projective curve C defined over a number field and given two elliptic surfaces E_1/C and E_2/C along with sections P_i and Q_i of E_i (for i = 1,2), we prove that if there exist infinitely many algebraic points t on C such…
Edge-contraction operations form an effective tool in various graph enumeration problems, such as counting Grothendieck's dessins d'enfants and simple and double Hurwitz numbers. These counting problems can be solved by a mechanism known as…
In arXiv:1505.04338(4), G. Mikhalkin introduced a refined count for the real rational curves in a toric surface which pass through certain conjugation invariant set of points on the toric boundary of the surface. Such a set consists of real…
We review Mirzakhani's recursion for the volumes of moduli spaces of orientable surfaces, using a perspective that generalizes to non-orientable surfaces. The non-orientable version leads to divergences when the recursion is iterated, from…
We show that for $k>1$ the number of genus $k$ minimal Lagrangians with area at most $A$ in a product of hyperbolic surfaces grows on the order of $A^{6(k-1)}$, with an explicit leading constant given in terms of the Mirzakhani function. We…
In this paper, we determine the distribution of the length partition of a random multicurve of fixed topological type on a closed hyperbolic surface using the methods of Margulis' thesis and Mirzakhani's equidistribution theorem for…
A few years ago, G. Oberdieck conjectured a multiple cover fomula that determines the number of curves of fixed genus and degree passing through a configuration of points in an abelian surface. This formula was proved by the author using…
A longstanding avenue of research in orientable surface topology is to create and enumerate collections of curves in surfaces with certain intersection properties. We look for similar collections of curves in non-orientable surfaces. A…
