We completely classify all plane curves of degree at most 30 with a unique cuspidal (locally unibranch) singular point and rational normalization in terms of the Newton pairs parameterizing the cusp. We distinguish between prime and…

Using a combination of several powerful modularity theorems and class field theory we derive a new modularity theorem for semistable elliptic curves over certain real abelian fields. We deduce that if $K$ is a real abelian field of…

A Huff curve over a field $K$ is an elliptic curve defined by the equation $ax(y^2-1)=by(x^2-1)$ where $a,b\in K$ are such that $a^2\ne b^2$. In a similar fashion, a general Huff curve over $K$ is described by the equation…

In this paper, we regard the smooth quadric threefold $Q_{3}$ as Lagrangian Grassmannian and search for fixed rational curves of low degree in $Q_{3}$ with respect to a torus action, which is the maximal subgroup of the special linear group…

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic field, and let $\mathcal{O}_{K,f}$ be an order in $K$ of conductor $f\geq 1$. Let $E$ be an elliptic curve with CM by $\mathcal{O}_{K,f}$, such that $E$ is defined by a model over $\mathbb{Q}(j_{K,f})$,…

Let X be a smooth complex projective variety, and let Y in X be a smooth very ample hypersurface such that -K_Y is nef. Using the technique of relative Gromov-Witten invariants, we give a new short and geometric proof of (a version of) the…

We study some properties of quadratic forms with values in a field whose underlying vector spaces are endowed with the structure of right vector spaces over a division ring extension of that field. Some generalized notions of isotropy,…

We give some methods for computing equations for certain Shimura curves, natural maps between them, and special points on them. We then illustrate these methods by working out several examples in varying degrees of detail. For instance, we…

We investigate vertices for plane curves with singular points. As plane curves with singular points, we consider Legendre curves (respectively, Legendre immersions) in the unit tangent bundle over the Euclidean plane and frontals…

Given two general rational curves of the same degree in two projective spaces, one can ask whether there exists a third rational curve of the same degree that projects to both of them. We show that, under suitable assumptions on the degree…

We consider quantum symmetric algebras, FRT bialgebras and, more generally, intertwining algebras for pairs of Hecke symmetries which represent quantum hom-spaces. The paper makes an attempt to investigate Koszulness and Gorensteinness of…

We reduce the classification of finite extensions of function fields (of curves over finite fields) with the same class number to a finite computation; complete this computation in all cases except when both curves have base field…

We describe algebraic curves $ X : F(x, y) = 0 $ defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ that satisfy the following property: there exist a number field $k$ and an infinite set $S \subset k$ such that, for every $y \in S$, the roots of the…

For $r \geq 1$ an odd integer, we provide a sequence from the function field $\mathcal{F}_{q, r}$ of the maximal curve over $\mathbb{F}_{q^{2r}}$ defined by the affine equation $y^q+y=x^{q^r + 1}$. This sequence has high nonlinear…

A plane curve is called strange if its tangent line at any smooth point passes through a fixed point, called the strange point. In this paper, we study $\mathbb{A}^1$-curves on the complement of a rational strange curve of degree $p$ in…

Kontsevich's formula for rational plane curves is a recursive relation for the number $N_d$ of degree $d$ rational curves in $\mathbb{P}^2$ passing through $3d-1$ general points. We provide two proofs of this recursion: the first more…

We give a complete classification of complex Q-homology projective planes with isolated rational double point singularities and numerically trivial canonical bundle. There are 31 types, and each has one-dimensional moduli. In fact, all…

We classify, up to isomorphism, maximal curves covered by the Hermitian curve \mathcal H by a prime degree Galois covering. We also compute the genus of maximal curves obtained by the quotient of \mathcal H by several automorphisms groups.…

We show that the curvature of a positive relative line module over quantum projective space is given by $q$-integer deformation of its classical curvature. This generalises a result of Majid for the Podle\'s sphere.

Algebraic quantum field theory, or AQFT for short, is a rigorous analysis of the structure of relativistic quantum mechanics. It is formulated in terms of a net of operator algebras indexed by regions of a Lorentzian manifold. In several…
