In this part of the series, we shall investigate Deligne-Mumford semistable reductions from the point of view of numerical invariants. As an application, we obtain two numerical criterions for a base change to be stabilizing, and for a…
This chapter reviews some past and recent developments in shape comparison and analysis of curves based on the computation of intrinsic Riemannian metrics on the space of curves modulo shape-preserving transformations. We summarize the…
It is classically known that generic smooth maps of R^2 into R^3 admit only cross cap singularities. This suggests that the class of cross caps might be an important object in differential geometry. We show that the standard cross cap…
We apply classical invariant theory of binary forms to explicitly characterize isomorphism classes of hyperelliptic curves of small genus and, conversely, propose algorithms for reconstructing hyperelliptic models from given invariants. We…
New lower bounds on the unknotting number of a knot are constructed from the classical knot signature function. These bounds can be twice as strong as previously known signature bounds. They can also be stronger than known bounds arising…
In this paper, we consider affine self-similar solutions for the affine curve shortening flow in the Euclidean plane. We obtain the equations of all affine self-similar solutions up to affine transformations and solve the equations or give…
There is a modular curve X'(6) of level 6 defined over Q whose Q-rational points correspond to j-invariants of elliptic curves E over Q for which Q(E[2]) is a subfield of Q(E[3]). In this note we characterize the j-invariants of elliptic…
We report on the problem of the existence of complex and real algebraic curves in the plane with prescribed singularities up to analytic and topological equivalence. The question is whether, for a given positive integer $d$ and a finite…
Several invariants of polarized metrized graphs and their applications in Arithmetic Geometry are studied recently. In this paper, we explicitly calculated these admissible invariants for all curves of genus $3$. We find the sharp lower…
The classical isoperimetric inequality can be extended to a general normed plane. In the Euclidean plane, the defect in the isoperimetric inequality can be calculated in terms of the signed areas of some singular sets. In this paper we…
We propose a modification of the three-manifold invariant based on the use of Euclidean metric values ascribed to the elements of manifold triangulation. We thus obtain a nontrivial invariant that can, in particular, distinguish…
A complete system of differential invariants for equivalence of curves in the $n$-dimensional pseudo-euclidean space with respect to the action of each of the groups $K^n \lhd O(n,p,K)$, $K^n \lhd SO(n,p,K)$, $O(n,p,K)$, and $SO(n,p,K)$,…
It was first pointed out by Weil that we can use classical invariant theory to compute the Jacobian of a genus one curve. The invariants required for curves of degree n = 2,3,4 were already known to the nineteenth centuary invariant…
We define some signature invariants for a class of knotted trivalent graphs using branched covers. We relate them to classical signatures of knots and links. Finally, we explain how to compute these invariants through the example of…
We determine the scrollar invariants of the normalization $C$ of a nodal curve $\Gamma$ of type $(k,a)$ on a smooth quadric $\mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1$ associated to the $g^1_k$ defined by the pencil of lines of type $(0,1)$ in case…
We construct a polynomial planar vector field of degree two with one invariant algebraic curves of large degree. We exhibit an explicit quadratic vector fields which invariant curves of degree nine, twelve, fifteen and eighteen degree.
Let $X$ be a smooth irreducible projective curve of genus $g$ and gonality 4. We show that the canonical model of $X$ is contained in a uniquely defined surface, ruled by conics, whose geometry is deeply related to that of $X$. This surface…
Trigonometric formulas for eigenvalues of $3 \times 3$ matrices that build on Cardano's and Vi\`ete's work on algebraic solutions of the cubic are numerically unstable for matrices with repeated eigenvalues. This work presents numerically…
A version of the Donaldson-Thomas invariants of a Calabi-Yau threefold is proposed as a conjectural mathematical definition of the Gopakumar-Vafa invariants. These invariants have a local version, which is verified to satisfy the required…
The theory of classical types of curves in normed planes is not strongly developed. In particular, the knowledge on existing concepts of curvatures of planar curves is widespread and not systematized in the literature. Giving a…
