We give a sharp bound on the number of automorphisms of a stable curve of a given genus and describe all curves attaining this bound.
We study plane curves over finite fields whose tangent lines at smooth $\mathbb{F}_q$-points together cover all the points of $\mathbb{P}^2(\mathbb{F}_q)$.
We generalize theorems of Deligne-Mumford and de Jong on semi-stable modifications of families of proper curves. The main result states that after a generically \'etale alteration of the base any (not necessarily proper) family of…
This paper is the eighth in a sequence on the structure of sets of solutions to systems of equations in free and hyperbolic groups, projections of such sets (Diophantine sets), and the structure of definable sets over free and hyperbolic…
Roughly speaking, a conic bundle is a surface, fibered over a curve, such that the fibers are conics (not necessarily smooth). We define stability for conic bundles and construct a moduli space. We prove that (after fixing some invariants)…
By working with coefficients in $\mathbb{Z}$ or $\mathbb{R}$, one can define two different notions of stability for a sandpile on a graph. We call a sandpile immutable when these notions agree. Our main results give linear-algebraic…
We study branched covers of curves with specified ramification points, under a notion of equivalence derived from linear series. In characteristic 0, no non-constant families of covers with fixed ramification points exist. In positive…
We use admissible covers to characterize irreducible stable curves that are $(d,h)$-elliptic, that is, that are limits of smooth curves admiting finite maps of degree-$d$ to smooth curves of genus $h\geq 1$.
We establish a Galois-theoretic trichotomy governing Diophantine stability for genus $0$ curves. We use it to prove that the curve associated to the Hilbert symbol is Diophantine stable with probability $1$. Our asymptotic formula for the…
In this article, we study finite dynamical systems defined over graphs, where the functions are applied asynchronously. Our goal is to quantify and understand stability of the dynamics with respect to the update sequence, and to relate this…
We describe methods to determine all the possible torsion groups of an elliptic curve that actually appear over a fixed quadratic field. We use these methods to find, for each group that can appear over a quadratic field, the field with the…
In this paper we study a family of curves obtained by fibre products of hyperelliptic curves. We then exploit this family to construct examples of curves of given genus g over a finite field Fq with many rational points. The results…
We describe stability conditions for pairs consisting of a coherent sheaf and a homomorphism to a fixed coherent sheaf on a projective variety. The corresponding moduli spaces are constructed for pairs on curves and surfaces. We consider…
The properties of motion close to the transition of a stable family of periodic orbits to complex instability is investigated with two symplectic 4D mappings, natural extensions of the standard mapping. As for the other types of…
We introduce a definition of finite-time curvature evolution along with our recent study on shape coherence in nonautonomous dynamical systems. Comparing to slow evolving curvature preserving the shape, large curvature growth points reveal…
We investigate homological stability for the space of sections of Fano fibrations over curves in the context of weak approximation, and establish it for projective bundles, as well as for conic and quadric surface bundles over curves.
This work deals with a scalar nonlinear neutral delay differential equation issued from the study of wave propagation. A critical value of the coefficients is considered, where only few results are known. The difficulty follows from the…
In this paper we consider coherent systems $(E,V)$ on an elliptic curve which are stable with respect to some value of a parameter $\alpha$. We show that the corresponding moduli spaces, if non-empty, are smooth and irreducible of the…
Let $K$ be a number field and $\ell \geq 5$ a prime number. Mazur and Rubin introduced the notion of diophantine stability for a variety $X_{/K}$ at a prime $\ell$. We show that there is a positive density set of elliptic curves…
We produce a collection of families of curves, whose point count statistics over F_p becomes Gaussian for p fixed. In particular, the average number of F_p points on curves in these families tends to infinity.
