In this paper, we continue the study of the relation between rational points of rational elliptic surfaces and plane curves. As an application, we give first examples of Zariski pairs of cubic-line arrangements that do not involve…
Let $S$ be an elliptic surface over a smooth curve $C$ with a section $O$. We denote its generic fiber by $E_S$. For a divisor $D$ on $S$, we canonically associate a $C(C)$-rational point $P_D$. In this note, we give a description of $P_D$…
In this paper, we give a Zariski triple of the arrangements for a smooth quartic and its four bitangents. A key criterion to distinguish the topology of such curves is given by a matrix related to the height pairing of rational points…
In this paper, we study the geometry of trisections on certain rational elliptic surfaces. We utilize Mumford representations of semi-reduced divisors in order to construct trisections and related plane curves with interesting properties…
In this note, we present two pairs of conic-line arrangements admitting a unique conic and that form Zariski pairs, both of degree $9$. Their topologies are distinguished using the connected numbers.
A $k$-Artal arrangement is a reducible algebraic curve composed of a smooth cubic and $k$ inflectional tangents. By studying the topological properties of their subarrangements, we prove that for $k=3,4,5,6$, there exist Zariski pairs of…
A couple of complex projective plane curves are said to make a Zariski pair if they have the same degree and the same type of singularities, but their embeddings in the projective plane are topologically different. In this paper, we present…
We present an approach to detecting Zariski pairs in conic line arrangements. Our method introduces a combinatorial condition that reformulates the tubular neighborhood homeomorphism criterion arising in the definition of Zariski pairs.…
The projective linear group \(\pgl(\comp,4)\) acts on cubic surfaces, considered as points of $\mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{C}}^{19}$. We compute the degree of the $15$-dimensional projective variety given by the Zariski closure of the orbit of a…
We prove that the enumerative geometry of lines on smooth cubic surfaces is governed by the arithmetic of the base field. In 1949, Segre proved that the number of lines on a smooth cubic surface over any field is 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 15, or…
Two arrangements with the same combinatorial intersection lattice but whose complements have different fundamental groups are called a Zariski pair. This work finds that there are at most nine such pairs amongst all ten line arrangements…
We prove that a surface in real 3-space containing a line and a circle through each point is a quadric. We also give some particular results on the classification of surfaces containing several circles through each point.
In this paper, we study the geometry of two-torsion points of elliptic curves in order to distinguish the embedded topology of reducible plane curves consisting of a smooth cubic and its tangent lines. As a result, we obtain a new family of…
In this paper, we establish the Zariski decompositions of arithmetic R-divisors of continuous type on arithmetic surfaces and investigate several properties. We also develop the general theory of arithmetic R-divisors on arithmetic…
A cubic polyhedron is a polyhedral surface whose edges are exactly all the edges of the cubic lattice. Every such polyhedron is a discrete minimal surface, and it appears that many (but not all) of them can be relaxed to smooth minimal…
We find a new Zariski pair with non-isomorphic fundamental groups that consists of degree $ 8 $ conic-line arrangements. Each arrangement has three conics and two lines. We use the Zariski-van Kampen Theorem and some known Coxeter groups to…
We give a complete deformation classification of real Zariski sextics, that is of generic apparent contours of nonsingular real cubic surfaces. As a by-product, we observe a certain "reversion" duality in the set of deformation classes of…
In this paper, we continue the study of the embedded topology of plane algebraic curves. We study the realization space of conic line arrangements of degree $7$ with certain fixed combinatorics and determine the number of connected…
This paper deals with surfaces with many lines. It is well-known that a cubic contains 27 of them and that the maximal number for a quartic is 64. In higher degree the question remains open. Here we study classical and new constructions of…
A pair of plane curves with the same combinatorics is said to be (a) a Zariski pair if the plane curves have different embedded topology, and (b) a strong Ziegler pair if their Milnor algebra are not isomorphic. We show that some examples…
