In this paper we consider an elementary, and largely unexplored, combinatorial problem in low-dimensional topology. Consider a real 2-dimensional compact surface $S$, and fix a number of points $F$ on its boundary. We ask: how many…
A criterion for the existence of a plane model with two non-smooth Galois points for algebraic curves is presented, which is a generalization of Fukasawa's criterion for two smooth Galois points. Owing to this generalized criterion,…
We show that all the possible pairs of integers occur as exponents for free or nearly free irreducible plane curves and line arrangements, by producing only two types of simple families of examples. The topology of the complements of these…
In this paper we collect the main properties of free curves in the complex projective plane and a lot of conjectures and open problems, both old and new. In the quest to understand the mystery of free curves, many tools were developed and…
We derive $H_{\text{curl}}$-error estimates and improved $L^2$-error estimates for the Maxwell equations approximated using edge finite elements. These estimates only invoke the expected regularity pickup of the exact solution in the scale…
The Information-Theoretic Schottky Problem treats the period matrix of a compact Riemann Surface as a compressible signal. In this case, the period matrix of a smooth plane curve is characterized by only 4 of its columns, a significant…
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 show that a realization of a closed connected PL-manifold of dimension n-1 in n-dimensional Euclidean space (n>2) is the boundary of a convex polyhedron (finite or infinite) if and only if the interior of each (n-3)-face has a point,…
We study some density results for integral points on the complement of a closed subvariety in the $n$-dimensional projective space over a number field. For instance, we consider a subvariety whose components consist of $n-1$ hyperplanes…
The convergence theory for the set of simultaneously $\psi$-approximable points lying on a planar curve is established. Our results complement the divergence theory developed in `Diophantine approximation on planar curves and the…
The inhomogeneous metric theory for the set of simultaneously $\psi$-approximable points lying on a planar curve is developed. Our results naturally incorporate the homogeneous Khintchine-Jarnik type theorems recently established in [Ann.…
A classification theorem is given of smooth threefolds of $\Bbb P^5$ covered by a family of dimension at least three of plane integral curves of degree $d\geq 2.$ It is shown that for such a threefold $X$ there are two possibilities:…
In this paper, we survey some Galois-theoretic techniques for studying torsion points on curves. In particular, we give new proofs of some results of A. Tamagawa and the present authors for studying torsion points on curves with "ordinary…
For a given graph whose edges are labeled with general real numbers, we consider the set of functions from the vertex set into the Euclidean plane such that the distance between the images of neighbouring vertices is equal to the…
This is a survey of the rationality problem in invariant theory. It also contains some new results, in particular in Chapter 2 on moduli spaces of plane curves with a theta-characteristic, and a detailed account of the relation of the…
We prove that there exists a>0 such that for any integer d>2 and any topological types S_1,...,S_n of plane curve singularities, satisfying $\mu(S_1)+...+\mu(S_n) \leq ad^2$, there exists a reduced irreducible plane curve of degree d with…
We consider several natural sets of curves associated to a given Teichm\"uller disc, such as the systole set or cylinder set, and study their coarse geometry inside the curve graph. We prove that these sets are quasiconvex and agree up to…
We generalize the joints problem to sets of varieties and prove almost sharp bound on the number of joints. As a special case, given a set of $N$ $2$-planes in $\mathbb{R}^6$, the number of points at which three $2$-planes intersect and…
We give a simple proof of a recent result by Kleinbock and Merrill concerning intrinsic approximations on sphere, in the simplest case of two-dimensional sphere in $\mathbb{R}^3$.
A procedure for interpolating between specified points of a curve or surface is described. The method guarantees slope continuity at all junctions. A surface panel divided into p x q contiguous patches is completely specified by the…
