There is considered the problem of describing up to linear conformal equivalence those harmonic cubic homogeneous polynomials for which the squared-norm of the Hessian is a nonzero multiple of the quadratic form defining the Euclidean…
We initiate the study of a class of real plane algebraic curves which we call expressive. These are the curves whose defining polynomial has the smallest number of critical points allowed by the topology of the set of real points of a…
It is known for a long time that a nonsingular real algebraic curve of degree 2k in the projective plane cannot have more than 7/2*k^2-9/4*k+3/2$ even ovals. We show here that this upper bound is asymptotically sharp, that is to say we…
We introduce one of the most beautiful algebraic varieties known, a quintic hypersurface in projective five-space, which is invariant under the action of the Weyl group of $E_6$. This variety is intricately related with many other moduli…
We prove that a smooth, complex plane curve $C$ of odd degree can be defined by a polynomial with real coefficients if and only if $C$ is isomorphic to its complex conjugate. Counterexamples are known for curves of even degree. More…
In [BN] the authors construct a special complex of degree 20 over M, which for an open three dimensional set parametrizes smooth complex surfaces of degree four invariant which are Heisenberg invariant and each member of the family contains…
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.
A class of elliptic curves with associated Lax matrices is considered. A family of dynamical systems on e(3) parametrized by polynomial a with above Lax matrices are constructed. Five cases from the family are selected by the condition of…
The paper gives topological as well as rigid isotopy classification of smooth irreducible algebraic curves in the real projective 3-space for the case when the degree of the curve is at most six and its genus is at most one.
We introduce the separating semigroup of a real algebraic curve of dividing type. The elements of this semigroup record the possible degrees of the covering maps obtained by restricting separating morphisms to the real part of the curve. We…
In this paper we present a new method of solving certain quartic and higher degree homogeneous polynomial diophantine equations in four variables. The method can also be extended to solve simultaneous homogeneous polynomial diophantine…
For the general monic quintic with real coefficients, polynomial conditions on the coefficients are derived as directly and as simply as possible from the Sturm sequence that will determine the real and complex root multiplicities together…
In this paper we study smooth complex projective polarized varieties (X,H) of dimension n \ge 2 which admit a dominating family V of rational curves of H-degree 3, such that two general points of X may be joined by a curve parametrized by…
This semi-expository paper surveys results concerning three classes of orthogonal polynomials: in one non-hermitian variable, in several isometric non-commuting variables, and in several hermitian non-commuting variables. The emphasis is on…
Connected components of real algebraic sets are semi-algebraic, i.e. they are described by a boolean formula whose atoms are polynomial constraints with real coefficients. Computing such descriptions finds topical applications in optical…
In this work we compute the Dixmier invariants and bitangents of the plane quartics with 3,6 or 9-cyclic automorphisms, we find that a quartic curve with 6-cyclic automorphism will have 3 horizontal bitangents which form an asysgetic…
We give a conjectural formula for the characteristic number of rational cuspidal curves in the projective plane by extending the idea of Kontsevich's recursion formula (namely, pulling back the equality of two divisors in the four pointed…
In these notes we investigate the rings of real polynomials in four variables, which are invariant under the action of the reflectiongroups [3,4,3] and [3,3,5]. It is well known that they are rationally generated in degree 2,6,8,12 and…
A polynomial over a ring is called decomposable if it is a composition of two nonlinear polynomials. In this paper, we obtain sharp lower and upper bounds for the number of decomposable polynomials with integer coefficients of fixed degree…
Let q be a power of a prime integer p, and let X be a Hermitian variety of degree q+1 in the n-dimensional projective space. We count the number of rational normal curves that are tangent to X at distinct q+1 points with intersection…
