Farin proposed a method for designing Bezier curves with monotonic curvature and torsion. Such curves are relevant in design due to their aesthetic shape. The method relies on applying a matrix M to the first edge of the control polygon of…
In this paper we investigate Uludag's method for constructing new curves whose fundamental groups are central extensions of the fundamental group of the original curve by finite cyclic groups. In the first part, we give some generalizations…
We give new examples of plane curves with two or more Galois points as a family, and describe the number of Galois points for these curves, by using finite fields.
In this paper we focus on various aspects of singular complex plane curves, mostly in the context of their homological properties and the associated combinatorial structures. We formulate some challenging open problems that can point to new…
In this notes we study complex projective plane curves whose graded module of Jacobian syzygies is generated by its minimal degree component. Examples of such curves include the smooth curves as well as the maximal Tjurina curves. However,…
In this paper we classify curves of genus two over a perfect field k of characteristic two. We find rational models of curves with a given arithmetic structure for the ramification divisor and we give necessary and sufficient conditions for…
We study the group of automorphisms of the affine plane preserving some given curve, over any field. The group is proven to be algebraic, except in the case where the curve is a bunch of parallel lines. Moreover, a classification of the…
The study of planar free curves is a very active area of research, but a structural study of such a class is missing. We give a complete classification of the possible generators of the Jacobian syzygy module of a plane free curve under the…
In this present paper, we study the splitting of nodal plane curves with respect to contact conics. We define the notion of splitting type of such curves and show that it can be used as an invariant to distinguish the embedded topology of…
We survey various Alexander-type invariants of plane curve complements, with an emphasis on obstructions on the type of groups that can arise as fundamental groups of complements to complex plane curves. Also included are some new…
We determine conditions that guarantee that a hyperelliptic or plane curve over a field of characteristic not equal to 2 can be defined over its field of moduli. We also give new examples of curves not definable over their fields of moduli.
We describe the invariants of plane quartic curves -- nonhyperelliptic genus 3 curves in their canonical model -- as determined by Dixmier and Ohno, with application to the classification of curves with given structure. In particular, we…
In a recent paper, after introducing the notion of plus-one generated hyperplane arrangements, Takuro Abe has shown that if we add (resp. delete) a line to (resp. from) a free line arrangement, then the resulting line arrangement is either…
A plane curve $C$ in $\mathbb{P}^2$ defined over $\mathbb{F}_q$ is called plane-filling if $C$ contains every $\mathbb{F}_q$-point of $\mathbb{P}^2$. Homma and Kim, building on the work of Tallini, proved that the minimum degree of a smooth…
We define and study analogs of curve graphs for infinite type surfaces. Our definitions use the geometry of a fixed surface and vertices of our graphs are infinite multicurves which are bounded in both a geometric and a topological sense.…
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…
In this article, we study the existence of new and general type meromorphic $1$-forms on curves through explicit construction. Specifically, we have constructed a large family of new and general type meromorphic $1$-forms on $\mathbb{P}^1,$…
We study various generalisations of rationally connected varieties, allowing the connecting curves to be of higher genus. The main focus will be on free curves $f:C\to X$ with large unobstructed deformation space as originally defined by…
We consider blowups at a general point of weighted projective planes and, more generally, of toric surfaces with Picard number one. We give a unifying construction of negative curves on these blowups such that all previously known families…
This study defines finite-type invariants for curves on surfaces and reveals the construction of these finite-type invariants for stable homeomorphism classes of curves on compact oriented surfaces without boundaries. These invariants are a…
