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…

This is an exposition of a class of problems and results on the number of integral points close to plane curves. We give a detailed proof of a theorem of Huxley and Sargos, following the account of Bordell\`es. Along the way we correct an…

Given a projective intersection of two quadrics X in at least 9 variables, the quantitative behaviour of the rational points on X is investigated under the assumption that X contains a pair of conjugate singular points defined over the…

In this paper, we study the computation of curvatures at the singular points of algebraic curves and surfaces. The idea is to convert the problem to compute the curvatures of the corresponding regular parametric curves and surfaces, which…

We give bounds on the number of non-simple closed curves on a negatively curved surface, given upper bounds on both length and self-intersection number. In particular, it was previously known that the number of all closed curves of length…

For an oriented surface $S$, the singular set of a fold map $f:S\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^2$ is a collection of smooth curves, also known as fold singularities. We construct a sharp lower bound on the number of self-intersections of such fold…

Let $C$ be an irreducible projective plane curve in the complex projective space ${\mathbb{P}}^2$. The classification of such curves, up to the action of the automorphism group $PGL(3,{\mathbb{C}})$ on ${\mathbb{P}}^2$, is a very difficult…

We construct invariants for any closed semipositive symplectic manifold which count rational curves satisfying tangency constraints to a local divisor. More generally, we introduce invariants involving multibranched local tangency…

Let $X$ be an irreducible projective variety of dimension $n$ in a projective space and let $x$ be a point of $X$. Denote by ${\rm Curves}_d(X,x)$ the space of curves of degree $d$ lying on $X$ and passing through $x$. We will show that the…

We carry out a survey on curves defined over finite fields that are Diophantine stable; that is, with the property that the set of points of the curve is not altered under a proper field extension. First, we derive some general results of…

The main result of this article is that all but finitely many points of small enough degree on a curve can be written as a pullback of a smaller degree point. The main theorem has several corollaries that yield improvements on results of…

It has been shown that for a given set of points in a plane, the least-squares regression line pivots about a fixed point when any single point in the set is repeated. We consider what happens when more than one point is repeated.…

We classify closed, simply-connected, non-negatively curved 6-manifolds of almost maximal symmetry rank up to equivariant diffeomorphism.

Isophote comprises a locus of the surface points whose normal vectors make a constant angle with a fixed vector. Main objective of this paper is to find the axis of an isophote curve via its Darboux frame and afterwards to give some…

Let K be a finite field. We know that a half of elements of K* is a square. So it is natural to ask how many of them appear as x-coordinate of points on an elliptic curve over K. We consider a specific class of elliptic curves over finite…

In this paper we obtain an explicit formula for the number of curves in two dimensional complex projective space, of degree d, passing through d(d+3)/2-(k+1) generic points and having one node and one codimension k singularity, where k is…

Given a plane curve $\gamma: S^1\to \mathbb R^2$, we consider the problem of determining the minimal number $I(\gamma)$ of inflections which curves $\mbox{diff}(\gamma)$ may have, where $\mbox{diff}$ runs over the group of diffeomorphisms…

A basis of the ideal of the complement of a linear subspace in a projective space over a finite field is given. As an application, the second largest number of points of plane curves of degree $d$ over the finite field of $q$ elements is…

We find a geometrical method of analysing the singularities of a plane nodal curve. The main results will be used in a forthcoming paper on geometric Plucker formulas for such curves. Plane nodal curves, that is plane curves having at most…

We derive explicit defining equations for a number of irreducible maximizing plane sextics with double singular points only. For most real curves, we also compute the fundamental group of the complement; all groups found are abelian. As a…
