We present an algorithm for computing curves and families of curves of prescribed degree and geometric genus on real rational surfaces.
A very general surface of degree at least four in projective space of dimension three contains no curves other than intersections with surfaces. We find a formula for the degree of the locus of surfaces of degree at least five which contain…
The indicatrix or curvature ellipse and the characteristic curve of a surface in $\mathbf R^4$ are presented, as well as the projective duality connecting them. The characterisation of points in the surfaces as elliptic, parabolic and…
This is my talk at ICM, Zurich 1994. It contains a short introduction, two basic examples and a refined version of the Mirror Conjecture formulated in terms of homological algebra.
Hypergraphs are structures that can be decomposed or described; in other words they are recursively countable. Here, we get exact and asymptotic enumeration results on hypergraphs by means of exponential generating functions. The number of…
We study the structure of collections of algebraic curves in three dimensions that have many curve-curve incidences. In particular, let $k$ be a field and let $\mathcal{L}$ be a collection of $n$ space curves in $k^3$, with…
We present a notion of a random toric surface modeled on a notion of a random graph. We then study some threshold phenomena related to the smoothness of the resulting surfaces.
These lectures discuss recent advances on syzygies on algebraic curves, especially concerning the Green, the Prym-Green and the Green-Lazarsfeld Secant Conjectures. The methods used are largely geometric and variational, with a special…
These are lecture notes for a short course about spectral sequences that was held at M\'alaga, October 18--20 (2016), during the "Fifth Young Spanish Topologists Meeting". The approach was to illustrate the basic notions via fully computed…
An expository description of smooth cubic curves in the real or complex projective plane.
These are notes from a lecture course on symmetric spaces by the second author given at the University of Pittsburgh in the fall of 2010.
In this note we compute some enumerative invariants of real and complex projective spaces by means of some enriched graphs called floor diagrams.
We illustrate the use of the notion of derived recurrences introduced earlier to evaluate the algebraic entropy of self-maps of projective spaces. We in particular give an example, where a complete proof is still awaited, but where…
We provide an expository introduction to $\mathbb{A}^1$-enumerative geometry, which uses the machinery of $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy theory to enrich classical enumerative geometry questions over a broader range of fields. Included is a…
We study the integer sequence v_n of numbers of lines in hypersurfaces of degree 2n-3 of P^n, n>1. We prove a number of congruence properties of these numbers of several different types. Furthermore, the asymptotics of the v_n are described…
The following is an extended version of a talk given at the Kinosaki Symposium on Algebraic Geometry in October 2011. The aim is to give an overview of product-quotient surfaces, the results that have been proven so far in collaboration…
We consider random graphs sampled uniformly from a structured class of graphs, such as the class of graphs embeddable in a given surface. We sharpen and extend earlier results on pendant appearances, concerning for example numbers of…
The development of computational techniques in the last decade has made possible to attack some classical problems of algebraic geometry. In this survey, we briefly describe some open problems related to algebraic curves which can be…
Inspired by the prospect of having discretized spaces emerge from random graphs, we construct a collection of simple and explicit exponential random graph models that enjoy, in an appropriate parameter regime, a roughly constant vertex…
Let $(C,p_1,\ldots,p_n)$ be a fixed general pointed curve and let $(X,x_1,\ldots,x_n)$ be a smooth hypersurface of degree $e$ and dimension $r$ with $n$ general points. We consider the problem of enumerating maps $f:C\to X$ of degree $d$…
