Let $C$ be a generic complex plane plane curve with a given Newton polygon $P$. We compute the number of its inflection points and bitangents (equivalently, the number of singularities of the projectively dual curve $C^\vee$). We also prove…
Let $F:\Bbb C^n\to\Bbb C^n$ be a polynomial mapping with a non vanishing Jacobian. If the set $S_F$ of non-properness of $F$ is smooth, then $F$ is a surjective mapping. Moreover, the set $S_F$ can not be connected (this is the…
We consider the space $P$ of generic complex 5-degree polynomials. Critical values of such polynomial, i.e. four points in the complex plane, either are vertices of a convex quadrangle $Q$, or vertices of a triangle $T$ with one point…
Multi-wave inverse problems are indirect imaging methods using the interaction of two different imaging modalities. One brings spatial accuracy, and the other contrast sensitivity. The inversion method typically involve two steps. The first…
It is proven that for any topological or analytical types of isolated singular points of plane curves, there exists a non-real irreducible plane algebraic curve of degree $d$ which goes through $d^2$ real distinct points and has imaginary…
In the paper, we first classify all polynomial maps of the form $H=(u(x,y,z),v(x,y,z), h(x,y))$ in the case that $JH$ is nilpotent and $\deg_zv\leq 1$. After that, we generalize the structure of $H$ to…
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…
Given a germ of a smooth plane curve $(\{f(x,y)=0\},0)\subset (\mathbb K^2,0), \mathbb K=\mathbb R, \mathbb C$, with an isolated singularity, we define two invariants $I_f$ and $V_f\in \mathbb N\cup\{\infty\}$ which count the number of…
Planar polynomial automorphisms are polynomial maps of the plane whose inverse is also a polynomial map. A map is reversible if it is conjugate to its inverse. Here we obtain a normal form for automorphisms that are reversible by an…
We compute an explicit closed formula for the Hilbert polynomial of the Jacobian algebra $M(f)$ of a reduced surface $X:f=0$ in $\mathbb P^3$ in terms of the graded Betti numbers of the algebra $M(f)$. When $X$ has only isolated…
In the complex plane, the frequency response of a univariate polynomial is the set of values taken by the polynomial when evaluated along the imaginary axis. This is an algebraic curve partitioning the plane into several connected…
This article is about polynomial maps with a certain symmetry and/or antisymmetry in their Jacobians, and whether the Jacobian Conjecture is satisfied for such maps, or whether it is sufficient to prove the Jacobian Conjecture for such…
We give algorithms for computing with divisors on projective curves over finite fields, and with their Jacobians, using the algorithmic representation of projective curves developed by Khuri-Makdisi. We show that many desirable operations…
Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a plane curve given by an equation $f(x,y)=0$ with $f\in K[x][y]$ a monic squarefree polynomial. We study the problem of computing an integral basis of the algebraic function field $K(\mathcal{C})$ and give new…
We examine \'etale covers of genus two curves that occur in the linear system of a polarizing line bundle of type $(1,d)$ on a complex abelian surface. We give results counting fixed points of involutions on such curves as well as…
We study the problem of efficiently constructing a curve C of genus 2 over a finite field F for which either the curve C itself or its Jacobian has a prescribed number N of F-rational points. In the case of the Jacobian, we show that any…
Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero, and let $f: k[x,y] \to k[x,y]$, $f: (x,y) \mapsto (p,q)$, be a $k$-algebra endomorphism having an invertible Jacobian. Write $p=a_ny^n+\cdots+a_1y+a_0$, where $n=deg_y(p) \in \mathbb{N}$, $a_i \in…
Persymmetric Jacobi matrices are invariant under reflection with respect to the anti-diagonal. The associated orthogonal polynomials have distinctive properties that are discussed. They are found in particular to be also orthogonal on the…
We prove some new degeneracy results for integral points and entire curves on surfaces; in particular, we provide the first example, to our knowledge, of a simply connected smooth variety whose sets of integral points are never…
In this paper, we contribute toward a classification of two-variable polynomials by classifying (up to an automorphism of $C^2$) polynomials whose Newton polygon is either a triangle or a line segment. Our classification has several…
