In this paper, we compute Alexander polynomials of a torus curve C of type (2, 5), C : f(x, y) = f_2(x, y)^5 + f_5(x, y)^2 = 0, under the assumption that the origin O is the unique inner singularity and f2 = 0 is an irreducible conic. We…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic different from $2$ and let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $K$, defined either by an equation of the form $y^{2} = f(x)$ with degree $3$ or as the Jacobian of a curve defined by an equation of the form…

Semialgebraic splines are functions that are piecewise polynomial with respect to a cell decomposition into sets defined by polynomial inequalities. We study bivariate semialgebraic splines, formulating spaces of semialgebraic splines in…

We determine all modular curves $X_0(N)$ with density degree $5$, i.e. all curves $X_0(N)$ with infinitely many points of degree $5$ and only finitely many points of degree $d\leq4$. As a consequence, the problem of determining all curves…

A result of Habegger shows that there are only finitely many singular moduli such that $j$ or $j-\alpha$ is an algebraic unit. The result uses Duke's Equidistribution Theorem and is thus not effective. For a fixed $j$-invariant $\alpha \in…

In different areas of discrete mathematics, a certain type of polynomials, having coefficients in a field K of finite characteristic, has been considered. The form and the degree of these polynomials, here called projective, are simply…

We say that a subset of C^n is hypoconvex if its complement is the union of complex hyperplanes. Let D be the closed unit disk in C, T the unit circle. We prove two conjectures of Helton and Marshall. (See ``Frequency domain design and…

A complex elliptic curve $E$ can be defined as the quotient of the analytic space $\mathbb{C}^*$ by a discrete action of the cyclic group $q^{\mathbb{Z}}$ for $\vert q\vert \neq 1$. We study the boundary case when $\vert q\vert =1$, which…

Given any square matrix or a bounded operator $A$ in a Hilbert space such that $p(A)$ is normal (or similar to normal), we construct a Banach algebra, depending on the polynomial $p$, for which a simple functional calculus holds. When the…

It is known for linear operators with polynomial coefficients annihilating a given D-finite function that there is a trade-off between order and degree. Raising the order may give room for lowering the degree. The relationship between order…

A simple graph is called triangular if every edge of it belongs to a triangle. We conjecture that any graphical degree sequence all terms of which are greater than or equal to 4 has a triangular realisation, and establish this conjecture…

We describe all special curves in the parameter space of complex cubic polynomials, that is all algebraic irreducible curves containing infinitely many post-critically finite polynomials. This solves in a strong form a conjecture by Baker…

A vertex colouring of some graph is called perfect if each vertex of colour $i$ has the same number $a_{ij}$ of neighbours of colour $j$. Here we determine all perfect colourings of the edge graphs of the hypercube in dimensions 4 and 5 by…

Consider a finite scheme of length l contained in a smooth quadric surface over the complex numbers. We determine the number of linearly independent curves passing through the scheme, of degree at least l - 1.

In this paper, we introduce a new concept namely degree polynomial for vertices of a simple graph. This notion leads to a concept namely degree polynomial sequence which is stronger than the concept of degree sequence. After obtaining the…

Given a principal $G$-bundle $P \to M$ and two $C^1$ curves in $M$ with coinciding endpoints, we say that the two curves are holonomically equivalent if the parallel transport along them is identical for any smooth connection on $P$. The…

We consider all genus 2 curves over Q given by an equation y^2 = f(x) with f a squarefree polynomial of degree 5 or 6, with integral coefficients of absolute value at most 3. For each of these roughly 200000 isomorphism classes of curves,…

For a smooth plane cubic $B$, we count curves $C$ of degree $d$ such that the normalizations of $C\backslash B$ are isomorphic to $\Bbb A^1$, for $d\leq7$ (for $d=7$ under some assumption). We also count plane rational quartic curves…

Let $k$ be a field and suppose $p, q\in k$. We prove that the two affine Hecke algebras $H_q$ and $H_p$ of type $A_n$ are isomorphic as $k$-algebras if and only if $p=q^{\pm 1}$.

A polynomial transformation of the real plane $\Bbb R^2$ is a mapping $\Bbb R^2\to\Bbb R^2$ given by two polynomials of two variables. Such a transformation is called cubic if the degrees of its polynomials are not greater than three. It…
