Moduli of real pointed quartic curves

Algebraic Geometry 2021-12-14 v2

Abstract

We describe a natural open stratum in the moduli space of smooth real pointed quartic curves in the projective plane. This stratum consists of real isomorphism classes of pairs (C,p)(C, p) with pp a real point on the curve CC such that the tangent line at pp intersects the curve in two distinct points besides pp. We will prove that this stratum consists of 2020 connected components. Each of these components has a real toric structure defined by an involution in the Weyl group of type E7E_7.
