The action of the mapping class group of a surface on the collection of homotopy classes of disjointly embedded curves or arcs in the surface is discussed here as a tool for understanding Riemann's moduli space and its topological and…
We describe the ring of modular forms of degree 2 in characteristic 2 using its relation with curves of genus 2.
We reformulate a recently introduced interpolation-based unique decoding algorithm of algebraic geometry codes using the theory of Gr\"obner bases of modules on the coordinate ring of the base curve. With the same decoding performance, the…
In this paper, we study residues of differential 2-forms on a smooth algebraic surface over an arbitrary field and give several statements about sums of residues. Afterwards, using these results we construct algebraic-geometric codes which…
The notion of $m/\Gamma$-pointed stable curves is introduced. It should be viewed as a generalization of the notion of m-pointed stable curves of a given genus, where the labels of the marked points are only determined up to the action of a…
The purpose of this article is to give an overview of the construction of moduli spaces of curves from the viewpoint of the log minimal model program for M_g by providing an update of recent developments and discussing future problems. This…
This is a report on a joint project in experimental mathematics with Jonas Bergstr\"om and Carel Faber where we obtain information about modular forms by counting curves over finite fields.
In this text I present some problems which led to the introduction of special kinds of graphs as tools for studying singular points of algebraic surfaces. I explain how such graphs were first described using words, and how several…
Let F be the cyclotomic field of fifth roots of unity. We computationally investigate modularity of elliptic curves over F.

We present an introduction to the theory of algebraic geometry codes. Starting from evaluation codes and codes from order and weight functions, special attention is given to one-point codes and, in particular, to the family of Castle codes.
This is a book about computational aspects of modular forms and the Galois representations attached to them. The main result is the following: Galois representations over finite fields attached to modular forms of level one can, in almost…
This is a collection of examples showing how the GAP system can be used to compute information about the generating graphs of finite groups. It includes all examples that were needed for the computational results in the paper "Hamiltonian…
The purpose of this note is to prove that there is an algebraic stack U parameterizing all curves. The curves that appear in the algebraic stack U are allowed to be arbitrarily singular, non-reduced, disconnected, and reducible. We also…
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…
The main characters of this paper are the moduli spaces $TM_{g,n}$ of rational tropical curves of genus $g$ with $n$ marked points, with $g\geq 2$. We reduce the study of the homotopy type of these spaces to the analysis of compact spaces…
The geometry of algebraic curves over finite fields is a rich area of research. In previous work, the authors investigated a particular aspect of the geometry over finite fields of the classical unit circle, namely how the number of…
We introduce Generalized Skew Multivariate Goppa codes relying on the theory of multivariate Ore polynomials. These codes contain, as a particular case, the Generalized Skew Goppa codes. By providing a new parity check matrix for the…
Error correcting codes are defined and important parameters for a code are explained. Parameters of new codes constructed on algebraic surfaces are studied. In particular, codes resulting from blowing up points in $\proj^2$ are briefly…
This is the first in a series of papers in which we study the n-Selmer group of an elliptic curve, with the aim of representing its elements as genus one normal curves of degree n. The methods we describe are practical in the case n=3 for…
