We study projective varieties $X \subset \mathbb{P}^r$ of dimension $n \geq 2$, of codimension $c \geq 3$ and of degree $d \geq c + 3$ that are of maximal sectional regularity, i.e. varieties for which the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity…

In this work we study the properties of maximal and minimal curves of genus 3 over finite fields with discriminant -19. We prove that any such curve can be given by an explicit equation of certain form. Using these equations we obtain a…

We study tropical line arrangements associated to a three-regular graph $G$ that we refer to as \emph{tropical graph curves}. Roughly speaking, the tropical graph curve associated to $G$, whose genus is $g$, is an arrangement of $2g-2$…

It is a consequence of the Jacobi Inversion Theorem that a line bundle over a Riemann surface M of genus g has a meromorphic section having at most g poles, or equivalently, the divisor class of a divisor D over M contains a divisor having…

Let $G$ and $H$ be two simple graphs and let $G*H$ denotes the graph theoretical product of $G$ by $H$. In this paper we provide some results on graded Betti numbers, Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity, projective dimension, $h$-vector, and…

We investigate the Jacobian decomposition of some algebraic curves over finite fields with genus $4$, $5$ and $10$. As a corollary, explicit equations for curves that are either maximal or minimal over the finite field with $p^2$ elements…

A graph is 1-planar if it can be drawn on the plane so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge. In this note we give examples of class two 1-planar graphs with maximum degree six or seven.

A canonically-embedded curve of genus $g$ is a pure 1-dimensional, non-degenerate subscheme $C$ of ${\bf P}^{g-1}$ over an algebraically closed field $k$, for which ${\cal O}_C(1) \cong \omega_C$, (the dualizing sheaf)$ and $h^0(C, {\cal…

If K is an odd-dimensional flag closed manifold, flag generalized homology sphere or a more general flag weak pseudomanifold with sufficiently many vertices, then the maximal number of edges in K is achieved by the balanced join of cycles.…

We study projective surfaces $X \subset \mathbb{P}^r$ (with $r \geq 5$) of maximal sectional regularity and degree $d > r$, hence surfaces for which the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity $\reg(\mathcal{C})$ of a general hyperplane section…

Generalized unitarity cut of a Feynman diagram generates an algebraic system of polynomial equations. At high-loop levels, these equations may define a complex curve or a (hyper-)surface with complicated topology. We study the curve cases,…

The gonality of a smooth geometrically connected curve over a field $k$ is the smallest degree of a nonconstant $k$-morphism from the curve to the projective line. In general, the gonality of a curve of genus $g \ge 2$ is at most $2g - 2$.…

We show that if $X$ is an abelian variety of dimension $g \geq 1$ and ${\mathcal E}$ is an M-regular coherent sheaf on $X$, the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of ${\mathcal E}$ with respect to an ample and globally generated line bundle…

Let $\mathcal{N}\mathcal{F}$ be the class of smooth non-flat curves near the origin and near infinity previously introduced by the second author and let $\gamma\in\mathcal{N}\mathcal{F}$. We show - via a unifying approach relative to the…

A one-degree-of-freedom graph is a graph obtained from a minimally rigid graph in the plane and removing an edge. For such graph, the set of realisations with fixed edge length, modulo rotations and reflections, is an algebraic curve. The…

Let alpha(G) denote the maximum size of an independent set of vertices and mu(G) be the cardinality of a maximum matching in a graph G. A matching saturating all the vertices is perfect. If alpha(G) + mu(G) equals the number of vertices of…

The maximum number of vertices in a graph of maximum degree $\Delta\ge 3$ and fixed diameter $k\ge 2$ is upper bounded by $(1+o(1))(\Delta-1)^{k}$. If we restrict our graphs to certain classes, better upper bounds are known. For instance,…

Genus 5 curves can be hyperelliptic, trigonal, or non-hyperelliptic non-trigonal, whose model is a complete intersection of three quadrics in $\mathbb{P}^4$. We present and explain algorithms we used to determine, up to isomorphism over…

Triangular modular curves are a generalization of modular curves that arise from quotients of the upper half-plane by congruence subgroups of hyperbolic triangle groups. These curves also arise naturally as a source of Belyi maps with…

Let $M$ be an irreducible holomorphically symplectic manifold. We show that all faces of the Kahler cone of $M$ are hyperplanes $H_i$ orthogonal to certain homology classes, called monodromy birationally minimal (MBM) classes. Moreover, the…
