We present an algorithmic framework for computing generators for the ring of invariants of an Artin-Schreier curve. We give explicit invariants for almost all Artin-Schreier curves of genus up to~8 in standard form, and for a handful of…
We describe the invariants of plane quartic curves -- nonhyperelliptic genus 3 curves in their canonical model -- as determined by Dixmier and Ohno, with application to the classification of curves with given structure. In particular, we…
We describe algorithms based on invariant theory to solve problems on the geometry of curves, mainly those of genus 2, 3 and 4. New theoretical results building on the first author's PhD thesis are also included.
We study the moduli space $\mathcal{AS}_{g}$ of Artin-Schreier curves of genus $g$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of positive characteristic $p$. The moduli space is partitioned by irreducible strata, where each stratum…
The aim of this paper is to classify reduction types of algebraic curves. Reduction types capture the discrete invariants of fibres in one-dimensional families of curves, and they have been described in genus 1, 2 and 3. For fixed genus…
We introduce four invariants of algebraic varieties over imperfect fields, each of which measures either geometric non-normality or geometric non-reducedness. The first objective of this article is to establish fundamental properties of…
The purpose of this paper is to lay the foundations of a theory of invariants in \'etale cohomology for smooth Artin stacks. We compute the invariants in the case of the stack of elliptic curves, and we use the theory we developed to get…
We study a mass formula for Artin--Schreier curves of genus $g$ defined over a finite field $k$ of characteristic $p$. For an odd prime $p$ and for small $g$, we determine the number of $k$-isomorphism classes of Artin-Schreier curves of…
Previous work established a connection between the geometric invariant theory of the third exterior power of a 9-dimensional complex vector space and the moduli space of genus 2 curves with some additional data. We generalize this…
The present paper gives an explicit classification of the isomorphism classes of non-hyperelliptic genus 4 curves over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. A non-hyperelliptic genus 4 curve lies on a quadric in $\mathbb{P^3}$…
We apply classical invariant theory of binary forms to explicitly characterize isomorphism classes of hyperelliptic curves of small genus and, conversely, propose algorithms for reconstructing hyperelliptic models from given invariants. We…
We study a moduli space AS_g for Artin-Schreier curves of genus g over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p. We study the stratification of AS_g by p-rank into strata AS_{g,s} of Artin-Schreier curves of genus g with p-rank…
This study defines finite-type invariants for curves on surfaces and reveals the construction of these finite-type invariants for stable homeomorphism classes of curves on compact oriented surfaces without boundaries. These invariants are a…
We describe some regular techniques of calculating finite degree invariants of triple points free smooth plane curves $S^1 \to R^2$. They are a direct analog of similar techniques for knot invariants and are based on the calculus of {\em…
We present a fundamental theory of curves in the affine plane and the affine space, equipped with the general-affine groups ${\rm GA}(2)={\rm GL}(2,{\bf R})\ltimes {\bf R}^2$ and ${\rm GA}(3)={\rm GL}(3,{\bf R})\ltimes {\bf R}^3$,…
We construct the infinite sequence of invariants for curves in surfaces by using word theory that V. Turaev introduced. For plane closed curves, we add some extra terms, e.g. the rotation number. From these modified invariants, we get the…
We characterise, in terms of Dixmier-Ohno invariants, the types of singularities that a plane quartic curve can have. We then use these results to obtain new criteria for determining the stable reduction types of non-hyperelliptic curves of…
We introduce a new invariant of fields that refines their real spectrum and is related to their absolute Galois group: the Artin-Schreier quandle. For formally real number fields, it is freely generated in its variety by a Cantor space of…
We survey various Alexander-type invariants of plane curve complements, with an emphasis on obstructions on the type of groups that can arise as fundamental groups of complements to complex plane curves. Also included are some new…
We extend our previous classification of stacky curves in positive characteristic using higher ramification data and Artin-Schreier-Witt theory. The main new technical tool introduced is the Artin-Schreier-Witt root stack, a generalization…
