Let $C: y^2=f(x)$ be a hyperelliptic curve of genus $g\geq 1$, defined over a complete discretely valued field $K$, with ring of integers $O_K$. Under certain conditions on $C$, mild when residue characteristic is not $2$, we explicitly…

We investigate the proportion of superelliptic curves that have a $\mathbb{Q}_p$ point for every place $p$ of $\mathbb{Q}$. We show that this proportion is positive and given by the product of local densities, we provide lower bounds for…

A nonlocal curvature flow is introduced to evolve locally convex curves in the plane. It is proved that this flow with any initial locally convex curve has a global solution, keeping the local convexity and the elastic energy of the…

We study the rigidity of the local conditions in two well-known local-global principles for elliptic curves over number fields. In particular, we consider a local-global principle for torsion due to Serre and Katz, and one for isogenies due…

We give an explicit positive answer, in the case of reduced curve singularities, to a question of B. Teissier about the existence of a toric embedded resolution after reembedding. In the case of a curve singularity $(C,O)$ contained in a…

In this article, we study subloci of solvable curves in $\mathcal{M}_g$ which are contained in either a K3-surface or a quadric or a cubic surface. We give a bound on the dimension of such subloci. In the case of complete intersection genus…

We compute the $L$-functions of a large class of algebraic curves, and verify the expected functional equation numerically. Our computations are based on our previous results on stable reduction to calculate the local $L$-factor and the…

Consider a hyperelliptic curve of genus $g$ over a field $K$ of characteristic zero. After extending $K$ we can view it as a marked curve with its $2g+2$ Weierstrass points. We present an explicit algorithm to compute the stable reduction…

In this work, we study the existence of local solutions in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ to $k$-Hessian equation,for which the nonhomogeneous term $f$ is permitted to change the sign or be non negative; if $f$ is $C^\infty,$ so is the local solution. We…

It is known that a vector bundle E on a smooth projective curve Y defined over an algebraically closed field is semistable if and only if there is a vector bundle F on Y such that the cohomologies of E\otimes F vanish. We extend this…

Tate's algorithm tells us that for an elliptic curve $E$ over a local field $K$ of residue characteristic $\geq 5$, $E/K$ has potentially good reduction if and only if $\text{ord}(j_E)\geq 0$. It also tells us that when $E/K$ is semistable…

Let $K$ be a local field of residue characteristic $p$. Let $C$ be a curve over $K$ whose minimal proper regular model has totally degenerate semi-stable reduction. Under certain hypotheses, we compute the prime-to-$p$ rational torsion…

Let $C$ be a complex, reduced, locally planar curve. We extend the results of Rennemo arXiv:1308.4104 to reducible curves by constructing an algebra $A$ acting on $V=\bigoplus_{n\geq 0} H_*(C^{[n]}, \mathbb{Q})$, where $C^{[n]}$ is the…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic $p \neq 2$, and let $f(x)$ be a sextic polynomial irreducible over $K$ with no repeated roots, whose Galois group is isomorphic to $\A_5$. If the jacobian $J(C)$ of the hyperelliptic curve $C:y^2=f(x)$…

Homogeneous Hilbert curves (HHC) in two dimensions are generalized by introducing the construction of the space filling curves from the same affine transformations but using an arbitrary kernel, we call such curves HHCK. The new curves are…

Given a Galois cover $Y \to X$ of smooth projective geometrically connected curves over a complete discrete valuation field $K$ with algebraically closed residue field, we define a semistable model of $Y$ over the ring of integers of a…

A curve $C$ defined over $\mathbb Q$ is modular of level $N$ if there exists a non-constant morphism from $X_1(N)$ onto $C$ defined over $\mathbb Q$ for some positive integer $N$. We provide a sufficient and necessary condition for the…

In this note, we give sufficient conditions for the (semi)stability of a hypersurface $H$ of $\mathbb{P}^N_k$ in terms of its degree $d$, the maximal multiplicity $\delta$ of its singularities, and the dimension $s$ of its singular locus.…

Let $K$ be a totally real field, and let $S$ be a finite set of non-archimedean places of $K$. It follows from the work of Merel, Momose and David that there is a constant $B_{K,S}$ so that if $E$ is an elliptic curve defined over $K$,…

We prove the following result: if a continuous vector field $F$ is Lipschitz when restricted to the hypersurfaces determined by a suitable foliation and a transversal condition is satisfied at the initial condition, then $F$ determines a…
