We investigate the behaviour of vertices and inflexions on 1-parameter families of curves on smooth surfaces in the 3-space, which include a singular member. In particular, we discuss the context where the curves evolve as sections of a…
Let $X \subset \mathbb{P}^{n}$ be an unramified real curve with $X(\mathbb{R}) \neq \emptyset$. If $n \geq 3$ is odd, Huisman conjectures that $X$ is an $M$-curve and that every branch of $X(\mathbb{R})$ is a pseudo-line. If $n \geq 4$ is…
We complete the remaining cases of the conjecture predicting existence of infinitely many rational curves on K3 surfaces in characteristic zero, prove almost all cases in positive characteristic and improve the proofs of the previously…
We discuss various phenomena of tangency in projective and convex geometry.
A simple closed curve $\gamma$ in the real projective plane $P^2$ is called anti-convex if for each point $p$ on the curve, there exists a line which is transversal to the curve and meets the curve only at $p$. We shall prove the relation…
There is an elegant relation found by Fabricius-Bjerre [Math. Scand 40 (1977) 20--24] among the double tangent lines, crossings, inflections points, and cusps of a singular curve in the plane. We give a new generalization to singular curves…
Classification of curves in a projective space occupies minds of many mathematicians. First step in doing so is classification of curves on a given surface. This brings us to consideration of the nonsingular Del Pezzo Surface in $P^4_k.$ We…
We study the variety of common tangents for up to four quadric surfaces in projective three-space, with particular regard to configurations of four quadrics admitting a continuum of common tangents. We formulate geometrical conditions in…
We investigate the relationship among characteristic curves on developable surfaces. In case parameter curves coincide with these curves, we show that the base curve of a developable surface could be either a plane curve, a circular helix,…
For prime degree hypersurfaces of dimension at least 3, Mori asked if every smooth proper limit is still a hypersurface. Interestingly in dimensions 1 and 2, this is not the case. For example, Griffin constructed explicit families of…
According to a conjecture of H. Clemens, the dimension of the space of rational curves on a general projective hypersurface should equal the number predicted by a na\"ive dimension count. In the case of a general hypersurface of degree 7 in…
We prove that the incidence scheme of rational curves of degree 11 on quintic threefolds is irreducible. This implies a strong form of the Clemens conjecture in degree 11. Namely, on a general quintic threefold $F$ in $\mathbb{P}^4$, there…
Consider a component of the Hilbert scheme whose general point corresponds to a degree d genus g smooth irreducible and nondegenerate curve in a projective variety X. We give lower bounds for the dimension of such a component when X is P^3,…
Interpreting tangency as a limit of two transverse intersections, we obtain a concrete formula to enumerate smooth degree $d$ plane curves tangent to a given line at multiple points with arbitrary order of tangency. Extending that idea, we…
Let $X$ be the product of two projective spaces and consider the general CICY threefold $Y$ in $X$ with configuration matrix $A$. We prove the finiteness part of the analogue of the Clemens' conjecture for such a CICY in low bidegrees. More…
We show the existence of metrically dense entire curves in rationally connected complex projective manifolds confirming for this case a conjecture according to which such entire curves on projective manifolds exist if and only if these are…
Smooth complex surfaces polarized with an ample and globally generated line bundle of degree three and four, such that the adjoint bundle is not globally generated, are considered. Scrolls of a vector bundle over a smooth curve are shown to…
The canonical degree $C.K_X$ of an integral curve on a smooth projective surface $X$ is conjecturally bounded from above by an expression of the form $A(g-1)+B$, where $g$ is the geometric genus of $C$ and $A$, $B$ are constants depending…
We give effective upper bounds for the number of purely inseparable points on non isotrivial curves over function fields of positive characteristic and of transcendence degree one. These bounds depend on the genus of the curve, the genus of…
We study the arithmetic (geometric) progressions in the $x$-coordinates of quadratic points on smooth projective planar curves defined over a number field $k$. Unless the curve is hyperelliptic, we prove that these progressions must be…
