In this paper we consider the normal map of a closed plane curve as a vector field on the cylinder. We interpret the critical points geometrically and study their Poincar\'{e} index, including the points at infinity. After projecting the…

For a smooth projective curve C with genus g >= 2 and a degree 1 line bundle L on C, let M := SU_{C}(r;L) be the moduli space of stable vector bundles of rank r and with the fixed determinant L. In this paper, we study the small rational…

We provide a general method for computing rational Chow rings of moduli of smooth complete intersections. We specialize this result in different ways: to compute the integral Picard group of the associated stack ; to obtain an explicit…

We characterize plane rational curves of degree four with two or more inner Galois points. A computer verifies the existence of plane rational curves of degree four with three inner Galois points. This would be the first example of a curve…

In this article we use techniques from coding theory to derive upper bounds for the number of rational places of the function field of an algebraic curve defined over a finite field. The used techniques yield upper bounds if the…

Let K be a totally real Galois number field and let A be a set of elliptic curves over K. We give sufficient conditions for the existence of a finite computable set of rational primes P such that for p not in P and E in A, the…

We classify, up to a natural equivalence relation, vector fields of the plane which belong to the kernel of a 1--form. This form can be closed, in which case the vector fields are integrable, or not, in which case the differential of the…

Given the germ of a smooth plane curve $(\{f(x,y)=0\},0)\subset (\mathbb{K}^2,0), \mathbb{K}=\mathbb{R}, \mathbb{C}$, with an isolated singularity, we define two invariants $I_f$ and $V_f \in \mathbb{N} \cup\{\infty\}$, which count the…

Let K be a complete, algebraically closed, nonarchimedean valued field, and let f(z) be a rational function in K(z) of degree d at least 2. We show there is a natural way to assign non-negative integer weights w_f(P) to points of the…

The main purpose of this paper is to prove the smooth local orbital linearization theorem for smooth vector fields which admit a complete set of first integrals near a nondegenerate singular point. The main tools used in the proof of this…

We give a construction of singular curves with many rational points over finite fields. This construction enables us to prove some results on the maximum number of rational points on an absolutely irreducible projective algebraic curve…

We prove that for a convex polytope decomposition of a domain in $\mathbb R^n$, an integral curve of a piecewise analytic vector field is chopped by the decomposition into finitely many pieces. As a consequence, we prove the finiteness of…

By the reduced component in a moduli space of stable quasimaps to n-dimensional projective space we mean the closure of the locus in which the domain curves are smooth. As in the moduli space of stable maps, we prove the reduced component…

We prove that the space of vector fields on the boundary of a bounded domain with the Lipschitz boundary in three dimensions is decomposed into three subspaces: elements of the first one extend to the inside the domain as divergence-free…

This paper is part of an ongoing series of works on the study of foliations on algebraic varieties via derived algebraic geometry. We focus here on the specific case of globally defined vector fields and the global behaviour of their…

This paper is concerned with rational curves on real classical groups. Our contributions are three-fold: (i) We determine the structure of quadratic rational curves on real classical groups. As a consequence, we completely classify…

Let $C$ be an irreducible projective plane curve in the complex projective space ${\mathbb{P}}^2$. The classification of such curves, up to the action of the automorphism group $PGL(3,{\mathbb{C}})$ on ${\mathbb{P}}^2$, is a very difficult…

In this paper we show how to split the Root Locus plot for an irreducible rational transfer function into several individual algebraic plane curves, like lines, circles, conics, etc. To achieve this goal we use results of a previous paper…

Motivated by the wild behavior of isolated essential singularities in complex analysis, we study singular complex analytic vector fields $X$ on arbitrary Riemann surfaces $M$. By vector field singularities we understand zeros, poles,…

We exploit an elementary specialization technique to study some properties of rational curves on index $n-1$ Fano $n$-folds. We prove a simple formula for counting rational curves passing through a suitable number of points in the case…
