In this paper we study the embedded topology of reducible plane curves having a smooth irreducible component. In previous studies, the relation between the topology and certain torsion classes in the Picard group of degree zero of the…
The purpose of this paper is to introduce a version of singular homology based on smooth mappings of manifolds with corners. Although variants of such a theory exists in the literature, we felt that certain points were not adequately…
Abstractly, tropical hyperelliptic curves are metric graphs that admit a two-to-one harmonic morphism to a tree. They also appear as embedded tropical curves in the plane arising from triangulations of polygons with all interior lattice…
This is a survey of knot contact homology, with an emphasis on topological, algebraic, and combinatorial aspects.
We compute numerically the homology of several graph complexes in low loop orders, extending previous results.
We study deformations of plane curve singularities from an analytic point of view and obtain some new concrete results. We show some rather unexpected properties of Puiseux coefficients treated as functions on a suitably defined parameter…
The paper is devoted to the complete classification of all real Lie algebras of contact vector fields on the first jet space of one-dimensional submanifolds in the plane. This completes Sophus Lie's classification of all possible Lie…
In this paper, we introduce the interested reader to homological mirror symmetry. After recalling a little background knowledge, we tackle the simplest cases of homological mirror symmetry: curves of genus zero and one. We close by…
In this paper we give a simple application of the filling methods developed earlier to the chord problem in three dimensional contact geometry.
We derive various inequalities involving the intersection number of the curves contained in geodesics and tight geodesics in the curve graph. While there already exist such inequalities on tight geodesics, our method applies in the setting…
We classify endomorphisms of the plane that preserve a pencil of curves.
In this paper, we define some new associated curves as integral curves of a vector field generated by Frenet vectors of tangent indicatrix of a curve in Euclidean 3-space. We give some relationships between curvatures of these curves. By…
We give a construction of contact homology in the sense of Eliashberg--Givental--Hofer. Specifically, we construct coherent virtual fundamental cycles on the relevant compactified moduli spaces of pseudo-holomorphic curves.
The traveling waves for surface diffusion of plane curves are studied. We consider an evolving plane curve with two endpoints, which can move freely on the x-axis with generating constant contact angles. For the evolution of this plane…
It is given the diffeomorphism classification on generic singularities of tangent varieties to curves with arbitrary codimension in a projective space. The generic classifications are performed in terms of certain geometric structures and…
Obtaining complete information about the shape of an object by looking at it from a single direction is impossible in general. In this paper, we theoretically study obtaining differential geometric information of an object from orthogonal…
We study the geometry, Hodge theory and derived category of cubic fourfolds containing several planes and their associated twisted K3 surfaces. We focus on the case of two planes intersecting along a line.
We introduce filtrations in chiral homology complexes of smooth elliptic curves, exploiting the mixed Hodge structure on cohomology groups of configuration spaces. We use these to relate the chiral homology of a smooth elliptic curve with…
Non-degenerate real hypersurfaces of almost Hermite-like manifolds are examined. Tangential real hypersurfaces are introduced and the main identities of such hypersurfaces are obtained. With the help of these identities, contact metric…
We provide the first non-trivial examples of quasi-isometric embeddings between curve complexes. These are induced either by puncturing a closed surface or via orbifold coverings. As a corollary, we give new quasi-isometric embeddings…
