We study the Severi variety $V_{d,g}$ of plane curves of degree $d$ and geometric genus $g$. Corresponding to every such variety, there is a one-parameter family of genus $g$ stable curves whose numerical invariants we compute. Building on…

We compute the degree of the projective variety of Poncelet curves of degree $n$. This variety is irreducible of dimension $2 n + 5$, and lies inside the projective space of degree $n$ plane curves. It is classically defined as the closure…

Let $(S,L)$ be a general primitively polarized $K3$ surface of genus $g$. For every $0\leq \delta \leq g$ we consider the Severi variety parametrizing integral curves in $|L|$ with exactly $\delta$ nodes as singularities. We prove that its…

In this paper we present several formulae for computing the partial degrees of the defining polynomial of the offset curve to an irreducible affine plane curve given implicitly, and we see how these formulae particularize to the case of…

In this paper, we consider the following question: how many degree $d$ curves are there in $\mathbb{P}^3$ (passing through the right number of generic lines and points), whose image lies inside a $\mathbb{P}^2$, having $\delta$ nodes and…

Fix integers $r,d,s,\pi$ with $r\geq 4$, $d\gg s$, $r-1\leq s \leq 2r-4$, and $\pi\geq 0$. Refining classical results for the genus of a projective curve, we exhibit a sharp upper bound for the arithmetic genus $p_a(C)$ of an integral…

In this paper we focus on the problem of computing the number of moduli of the so called Severi varieties (denoted by V(|D|, \delta)), which parametrize universal families of irreducible, \delta-nodal curves in a complete linear system |D|,…

Given two vector bundles E and F on a variety X and a morphism from Sym^2(E) to F, we compute the cohomology class of the locus in X where the kernel of this morphism contains a quadric of prescribed rank. Our formulas have many…

We give sharp lower bounds for the degree of the syzygies involving the partial derivatives of a homogeneous polynomial defining an even dimensional nodal hypersurface. This implies the validity of formulas due to M. Saito, L. Wotzlaw and…

We prove new bounds on the Betti numbers of real varieties and semi-algebraic sets that have a more refined dependence on the degrees of the polynomials defining them than results known before. Our method also unifies several different…

Let $D(M,N)$ be the set of integers that can be realized as the degree of a map between two closed connected orientable manifolds $M$ and $N$ of the same dimension. For closed $3$-manifolds with $S^3$-geometry $M$ and $N$, every such degree…

Let $S$ be a finite set of points in the plane that are in convex position. We present an algorithm that constructs a plane $\frac{3+4\pi}{3}$-spanner of $S$ whose vertex degree is at most 3. Let $\Lambda$ be the vertex set of a finite…

We describe, for various degenerations $S\to \Delta$ of quartic $K3$ surfaces over the complex unit disk (e.g., to the union of four general planes, and to a general Kummer surface), the limits as $t\in \Delta^*$ tends to 0 of the Severi…

Inside the moduli space of curves of genus 2 with 2 marked points we consider the loci of curves admitting a map to P^1 of degree d totally ramified over the two marked points, for d>= 2. Such loci have codimension two. We compute the class…

We prove a quantitative version of the curve selection lemma. Denoting by $s,d,k$ a bound on the number, the degree and the number of variables of the polynomials describing a semi-algebraic set $S$ and a point $x$ in $\bar S$, we find a…

Let $|L|$ be a linear system on a smooth complex Enriques surface $S$ whose general member is a smooth and irreducible curve of genus $p$, with $L^ 2>0$, and let $V_{|L|, \delta} (S)$ be the Severi variety of irreducible $\delta$-nodal…

In this note we consider a question related to the high-dimensional generalization of the classical Severi's finiteness theorem for curves. We will introduce some background and then state the main result. The proof of the main result is…

We provide formulas for the degrees of the projections of the locus of square matrices with given rank from linear spaces spanned by a choice of matrix entries. The motivation for these computations stem from applications to `matrix…

We provide a closed formula for the degree of $\text{SO}(n)$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. In addition, we describe symbolic and numerical techniques which can also be used to compute the degree of…

We survey various classical results on invariants of polynomials, or equivalently, of binary forms, focussing on explicit calculations for invariants of polynomials of degrees 2, 3, 4.
