In this paper we obtain a formula for the number of rational degree d curves in $\mathbb{P}^3$ having a cusp, whose image lies in a $\mathbb{P}^2$ and that passes through $r$ lines and $s$ points (where $r + 2s = 3d + 1$). This problem can…

Let $X$ and $Y$ be finite complexes. When $Y$ is a nilpotent space, it has a rationalization $Y \to Y_{(0)}$ which is well-understood. Early on it was found that the induced map $[X,Y] \to [X,Y_{(0)}]$ on sets of mapping classes is…

Let F be a polarized irreducible holomorphic symplectic fourfold, deformation equivalent to the Hilbert scheme parametrizing length-two zero-dimensional subschemes of a K3 surface. The homology group H^2(F,Z) is equipped with an integral…

We classify real families of minimal degree rational curves that cover an embedded rational surface. A corollary is that if the projective closure of a smooth surface is not biregular isomorphic to the projective closure of the unit-sphere,…

We enumerate cubic (3-regular) unicellular maps on closed surfaces up to all homeomorphisms. Using the orbifold approach, we reduce the unsensed enumeration to explicit counts of quotient maps and rooted cubic/precubic maps on simpler…

We consider Abel maps for regular smoothing of nodal curves with values in the Esteves compactified Jacobian. In general, these maps are just rational, and an interesting question is to find an explicit resolution. We translate this problem…

Let $X$ be a cubic fourfold in $P^5_{C}$. We prove that, assuming the Hodge conjecture for the product $S \times S$, where $S$ is a complex surface, and the finite dimensionality of the Chow motive $h(S)$, there are at most a countable…

We prove that, over any field, the dimension of the indeterminacy locus of a rational transformation $f$ of $P^n$ which is defined by monomials of the same degree $d$ with no common factors is at least $(n-2)/2$, provided that the degree of…

We obtain new examples and the complete list of the rational cuspidal plane curves $C$ with at least three cusps, one of which has multiplicity ${\rm deg}\,C - 2$. It occurs that these curves are projectively rigid. We also discuss the…

We consider the locus of irreducible nonsingular rational curves of degree d Pn, n>2, meeting a generic collection of linear subspaces. When this locus is 0 (resp 1)- dimensional, we compute (recursively) its degree (resp. geometric genus).…

Classification theory and the study of projective varieties which are covered by rational curves of minimal degrees naturally leads to the study of families of singular rational curves. Since families of arbitrarily singular curves are hard…

For any positive integer $r$, we construct a smooth complex projective rational surface which has at least $r$ real forms not isomorphic over $\mathbb{R}$.

A fundamental problem in arithmetic geometry is to determine the image of the mod $N$ Galois representation for all elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ and integers $N \geq 1$. For a given subgroup $G \le…

Let k be a finite field with characteristic exceeding 3. We prove that the space of rational curves of fixed degree on any smooth cubic hypersurface over k with dimension at least 11 is irreducible and of the expected dimension.

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote a finite field of order $q$. A rational function $r(x)\in \mathbb{Q}(x)$ is said to be arithmetically exceptional if it induces a permutation on $\mathbb{P}^1(\mathbb{F}_p)$ for infinitely many primes $p$. Based on…

Using essentially only algebra, we give a proof that a cubic rational function over $\mathbb{C}$ with real critical points is equivalent to a real rational function. We also show that the natural generalization to $\mathbb{Q}_p$ fails for…

Let $A$ be a unital locally matrix algebra. Among the examples of such algebras are: (1) an infinite tensor product $\otimes M_{n_i}(\mathbb{F})$ of matrix algebras over a field $\mathbb{F}$, and (2) the Clifford algebra of a nondegenerate…

In this paper, first we study surjective isometries (not necessarily linear) between completely regular subspaces $A$ and $B$ of $C_0(X,E)$ and $C_0(Y,F)$ where $X$ and $Y$ are locally compact Hausdorff spaces and $E$ and $F$ are normed…

The number of rational points of a plane non-singular algebraic curve X defined over a finite field is computed, provided that the generic point of X is not an inflexion and that X is Frobenius non-classical with respect to conics.

The purpose of this article is to study the deformations of smooth surfaces $X$ of general type whose canonical map is a finite, degree 2 morphism onto a minimal rational surface or onto $\mathbf F_1$, embedded in projective space by a very…
