Four alternative proposals as the possible solutions for the rotation curve problem are introduced on the basis of assumption that the cosmic expansion is engaged with the galactic dynamics over the halo. The first one proposes a…

We determine the set $S(d)$ of possible prime orders of $K$-rational points on elliptic curves over number fields $K$ of degree $d$, for $d = 4$, $5$, $6$, and $7$.

We construct two connected plane sets which can be embedded into rational curves. The first is a biconnected set with a dispersion point. It answers a question of Joachim Grispolakis. The second is indecomposable. Both examples are…

We give a formula computing the number of one-nodal rational curves that pass through an appropriate collection of constraints in a complex projective space. We combine the methods and results from three different papers.

We recall two basic conjectures on the developables of convex projective curves, prove one of them and disprove the other in the firdt nontrivial case of curves in RP^3. Namely, we show that i) the tangent developable surface of any convex…

In this paper, we will give a uniform upper bound of the number of rational points of bounded height in non-singular curves by applying the global determinant method.

In this paper, we study configurations of three rational points on the Hermitian curve over $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}$ and classify them according to their Weierstrass semigroups. For $q>3$, we show that the number of distinct semigroups of this…

Pascal's Theorem gives a synthetic geometric condition for six points $a,\ldots,f$ in $\mathbb{P}^2$ to lie on a conic. Namely, that the intersection points $\overline{ab}\cap\overline{de}$, $\overline{af}\cap\overline{dc}$,…

We classify rational, irreducible quartic symmetroids in projective 3-space. They are either singular along a line or a smooth conic section, or they have a triple point or a tacnode.

Consider the smooth projective models C of curves y^2=f(x) with f(x) in Z[x] monic and separable of degree 2g+1. We prove that for g >= 3, a positive fraction of these have only one rational point, the point at infinity. We prove a lower…

Suppose that $\gamma \subset \mathbb{C}$ is a Jordan curve of diameter $2R$ which encloses a region of area $A$. We prove that there exists a subset $I \subset (0,\pi)$ of measure at least $A/R^2$ such that if $\theta \in I$, then there…

Let $X$ be the product of two projective spaces and consider the general CICY threefold $Y$ in $X$ with configuration matrix $A$. We prove the finiteness part of the analogue of the Clemens' conjecture for such a CICY in low bidegrees. More…

We present a geometric theorem on a porism about cyclic quadrilaterals, namely the existence of an infinite number of cyclic quadrilaterals through four fixed collinear points once one exists. Also, a technique of proving such properties…

A classical result of von Staudt states that if eight planes osculate a twisted cubic curve and we divide them into two groups of four, then the eight vertices of the corresponding tetrahedra lie on a twisted cubic curve. In the current…

For a triangle $\Delta$, let (P) denote the problem of the existence of points in the plane of $\Delta$, that are at rational distance to the 3 vertices of $\Delta$. Answer to (P) is known to be positive in the following situation: $\Delta$…

In this paper I demonstrate that any pair (m, n) of non-zero and distinct rational numbers may have, at most, four representations as the product of two rational factors such that the sum of factors of m coincides with the sum of factors of…

Place the vertices of a rectangle at $\{(0, \pm 1/2), (a, \pm 1/2)\}$, where $a$ is rational. We show that if $v_3(a) = 0$, then any point $(x,y)$ that is rational distance from all four vertices of the rectangle has either $v_3(x) < 0$ or…

The square peg problem asks whether every Jordan curve in the plane has four points which form a square. The problem has been resolved (positively) for various classes of curves, but remains open in full generality. We present two new…

We call a set of points $Z\subset{\mathbb P}^{3}_{\mathbb C}$ an $(a,b)$-geproci set (for GEneral PROjection is a Complete Intersection) if its projection from a general point $P$ to a plane is a complete intersection of curves of degrees…

A simple graph is called triangular if every edge of it belongs to a triangle. We conjecture that any graphical degree sequence all terms of which are greater than or equal to 4 has a triangular realisation, and establish this conjecture…
