We prove that the average size of the 3-Selmer group of a genus-2 curve with a marked Weierstrass point is 4.

We show that at any standard or Weierstrass point P on a hyperelliptic Riemann surface S equipped with a nonsingular even spin structure, we may attach a spin group G(P) in a natural way. All such spin groups are isomorphic to each other…

For any smooth compact manifold $W$ of dimension at least two we prove that the classifying spaces of its group of diffeomorphisms which fix a set of $k$ points or $k$ embedded disks (up to permutation) satisfy homology stability. The same…

We present an explicit method to produce upper bounds for the dimension of the moduli spaces of complete integral Gorenstein curves with prescribed symmetric Weierstrass semigroups.

Previous results on genera g of F_{q^2}-maximal curves are improved: (1) Either g\leq (q^2-q+4)/6, or g=\lfloor(q-1)^2/4\rfloor, or g=q(q-1)/2; (2) The hypothesis on the existence of a particular Weierstrass point in \cite{at} is proved;…

Inside the moduli space of curves of genus three with one marked point, we consider the locus of hyperelliptic curves with a marked Weierstrass point, and the locus of non-hyperelliptic curves with a marked hyperflex. These loci have…

In this paper we prove that complete families of smooth and projective curves, of genusg>2, in characteristic p>0, with a constant geometric fundamental group, are isotrivial.

We prove the existence of non-trivial phase transitions for the intersection of two independent random interlacements and the complement of the intersection. Some asymptotic results about the phase curves are also obtained. Moreover, we…

We explore a strong categorical correspondence between isomorphism classes of sheaves of arbitrary rank on a given algebraic curve and twisted pairs on another algebraic curve, mostly from a linear-algebraic standpoint. In a particular…

We prove a form of the Weierstrass Preparation Theorem for normal algebraic curves over complete discrete valuation rings. While the more traditional algebraic form of Weierstrass Preparation applies just to the projective line over a base,…

We prove that any Bonahon-Siebenmann family of Conway spheres for a hyperbolic link is associated to an ideal point of the character variety of the link.

We sharpen our previous results on the g and n such that the moduli space of curves of genus g with n marked points is of general type.

Based on an explicit formula of the generating series for the $n$-point psi-class intersection numbers (cf. Bertola et. al. [4]), we give a novel proof of a conjecture of Delecroix et. al. [9] regarding the large genus uniform leading…

In this mostly expository article, we provide a new account of our proof with Minsky and Sisto that mapping class groups and Teichm\"uller spaces admit bicombings. More generally, we explain how the hierarchical hull of a pair of points in…

In this paper, by employing the results over Kummer extensions, we give an arithmetic characterization of pure gaps at many totally ramified places over the quotients of Hermitian curves, including the well-studied Hermitian curves as…

We prove that for any number field $K$ and any fixed genus $g \geq 2$, there are infinitely many non-isomorphic hyperelliptic curves of genus $g$ over $K$ whose Jacobians have rank over $K$ equal to each of 0, 1, or 2. As an example of our…

The "defect" of a curve over a finite field is the difference between the number of rational points on the curve and the Weil-Serre bound for the curve. We present a construction for producing genus-4 double covers of genus-2 curves over…

Making use of the extended flux homomorphism on the group of symplectomorphisms of a closed oriented surface of genus at least 2, we introduce new characteristic classes of foliated surface bundles with symplectic, equivalently…

We give a stack-theoretic proof for some results on families of hyperelliptic curves.

We study the arithmetic properties of Weierstrass points on the modular curves $X_0^+(p)$ for primes $p$. In particular, we obtain a relationship between the Weierstrass points on $X_0^+(p)$ and the $j$-invariants of supersingular elliptic…
