We present a construction explaining the existence of (unexpected) curves of degree $d+k$, passing through a set $Z$ of points on $\mathbb{P}^2$, and having a generic point $P$ of multiplicity $d$. The construction is based on the syzygies…
The notion of an unexpected curve in the plane was introduced in 2018, and was quickly generalized in several directions in a flurry of mathematical activity by many authors. In this expository paper we first describe some of the main…
Theory of motivic superpolynomials is developed, including its extension to algebraic links colored by rows, relations to $L$-functions of plane curve singularities, the justification of the motivic versions of Weak Riemann Hypothesis, and…
A new family of maximal curves over a finite field is presented and some of their properties are investigated.
We analyze the intersection properties of projective planes embedded in generalized Kummer fourfolds, with a view toward classifying the homology classes represented by these submanifolds.
We consider the Alexander polynomial of a plane algebraic curve twisted by a linear representation. We show that it divides the product of the polynomials of the singularity links, for unitary representations. Moreover, their quotient is…
In this paper, we elaborate the theory of exceptional hereditary curves over arbitrary fields. In particular, we study the category of equivariant coherent sheaves on a regular projective curve whose quotient curve has genus zero and prove…
One distinguishing feature of rational curves is that they have algebraic parameterizations. Arc spaces are a way of describing approximations to parameterizations of all curves in some fixed space. Playing on these descriptions, this paper…
The main purpose of this paper is to lay the foundations of a general theory which encompasses the features of the classical Hough transform and extend them to general algebraic objects such as affine schemes. The main motivation comes from…
We propose the graph description of Teichm\"uller theory of surfaces with marked points on boundary components (bordered surfaces). Introducing new parameters, we formulate this theory in terms of hyperbolic geometry. We can then describe…
We study conchoids to algebraic curve from the perspective of algebraic geometry, analyzing their main algebraic properties. We introduce the formal definition of conchoid of an algebraic curve by means of incidence diagrams. We prove that,…
We consider some variations on the classical method of Runge for effectively determining integral points on certain curves. We first prove a version of Runge's theorem valid for higher-dimensional varieties, generalizing a uniform version…
We classify maximal quartic generalised projective special real curves up to equivalence. A maximal quartic generalised projective special real curve consists of connected components of the intersection of the hyperbolic points of a quartic…
This paper announces results on the behavior of some important algebraic and topological invariants --- Euler characteristic, arithmetic genus, and their intersection homology analogues; the signature, etc. --- and their associated…
We exploit the classical correspondence between finitely generated abelian groups and abelian complex algebraic reductive groups to study the intersection theory of translated subgroups in an abelian complex algebraic reductive group, with…
Several intrinsic topological ways to encode connections on vector bundles on smooth complex algebraic curves will be described. In particular the notion of {\em Stokes decompositions} will be formalised, as a convenient intermediate…
We present a new notion of speciality which is valid for Bohr - Sommerfeld lagrangian submanifolds. For algebraic varieties it leads to the construction of finite dimensional moduli spaces which are algebraic starting with any ample line…
A plane curve is called strange if its tangent line at any smooth point passes through a fixed point, called the strange point. In this paper, we study $\mathbb{A}^1$-curves on the complement of a rational strange curve of degree $p$ in…
This is a survey on recent results on counting of curves over finite fields. It reviews various results on the maximum number of points on a curve of genus g over a finite field of cardinality q, but the main emphasis is on results on the…
Some work in progress is announced, on the use of algebraic geometry, mostly concerning elliptic curve theory, to model turbulence. Attention is given to flows across the scales, on some convenient model space, and some current trials are…
