We introduce a notion of limit linear series for nodal curves which are not of compact type. We give a construction of a moduli space of limit linear series, which works also in smoothing families, and we prove a corresponding…
We study when Hurwitz curves are supersingular. Specifically, we show that the curve $H_{n,\ell}: X^nY^\ell + Y^nZ^\ell + Z^nX^\ell = 0$, with $n$ and $\ell$ relatively prime, is supersingular over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{p}$ if and…
We give a conjectural description for the cone of effective divisors of the Grothendieck-Knudsen moduli space of stable rational curves with n marked points. Namely, we introduce new combinatorial structures called hypertrees and show they…
We enumerate the singular algebraic curves in a complete linear system on a smooth projective surface. The system must be suitably ample in a rather precise sense. The curves may have up to eight nodes, or a triple point of a given type and…
We show that under the assumption of Artin's Primitive Root Conjecture, for all primes p there exist ordinary elliptic curves over $\bar F_p(x)$ with arbitrary high rank and constant j-invariant. For odd primes p, this result follows from a…
We construct explicit families of hyperelliptic curves over $\QQ$ whose Jacobians admit complex multiplication (CM). Each curve in these families is defined by \[ v^2 = (u+2)\,\varphi_d(u), \quad d = 2^e \text{ or } d=p \geq 3 \text{…
This paper is about one dimensional families of cyclic covers of the projective line in positive characteristic. For each such family, we study the mass formula for the number of non-ordinary curves in the family. We prove two equations for…
We present some results about the number of rational points on a certain family of curves defined over a finite field. In a small number of cases the curves have more rational points than expected. Fibonacci numbers make an appearance, as…
We study Van der Geer--Van der Vlugt curves in a ramification-theoretic view point. We give explicit formulae on L-polynomials of these curves. As a result, we show that these curves are supersingular and give sufficient conditions for…
A curve over a perfect field $K$ of characteristic $p > 0$ is said to be superspecial if its Jacobian is isomorphic to a product of supersingular elliptic curves over the algebraic closure $\overline{K}$. In recent years, isomorphism…
We offer a new approach to proving the Chen-Donaldson-Sun theorem which we demonstrate with a series of examples. We discuss the existence of a construction of a special metric on stable vector bundles over the surfaces formed by a families…
We review the main conjecture for an elliptic curve on $\Q$ having good supersingular reduction at $p$ and give some consequences of it. Then we define the notion of $\lambda$-invariant and of $\mu$- invariant in this situation,…
On a general hypersurface of degree $d\leq n$ in $\mathbb P^n$ or $\mathbb P^n$ itself, we prove the existence of curves of any genus and high enough degree depending on the genus passing through the expected number $t$ of general points or…
There are open questions about which Newton polygons and Ekedahl-Oort types occur for Jacobians of smooth curves of genus $g$ in positive characteristic $p$. In this chapter, I survey the current state of knowledge about these questions. I…
We give a complete factorization of the invariant factors of resultant matrices built from birational parameterizations of rational plane curves in terms of the singular points of the curve and their multiplicity graph. This allows us to…
We demonstrate the existence of a congruence class bias in the distribution of supersingular primes on average for elliptic curves over $\Q$. For example, we show that on average there are twice as many supersingular primes congruent to 2…
We consider a 3-parameter family of linear special double confluent Heun equations introduced and studied by V.M.Buchstaber and S.I.Tertychnyi, which is an equivalent presentation of a model of Josephson junction in superconductivity.…
Let $\mathcal X_g$ be a genus $g\geq 2$ superelliptic curve, $F$ its field of moduli, and $K$ the minimal field of definition. In this short note we construct an equation of the curve $\mathcal X_g$ over its minimal field of definition $K$…
We propose a unified scheme for finding the hyperelliptic curve of $N=2$ SUSY YM theory with any Lie gauge groups. Our general scheme gives the well known results for classical gauge groups and exceptional $G_2$ group. In particular, we…
The purpose of this note is to prove that there is an algebraic stack U parameterizing all curves. The curves that appear in the algebraic stack U are allowed to be arbitrarily singular, non-reduced, disconnected, and reducible. We also…
