Gross, Hacking, and Keel have constructed mirrors of log Calabi-Yau surfaces in terms of counts of rational curves. Using $q$-deformed scattering diagrams defined in terms of higher genus log Gromov-Witten invariants, we construct…

In this survey article we give an overview of how noncongruence modular curves can be viewed as Hurwitz moduli spaces of covers of elliptic curves at most branched above the origin. We describe some natural questions that arise, and…

We consider the action of the group $\mathrm{PGL}_4(K)$ on the smooth cubic surfaces of $\mathbb{P}^3_K$ ($K$ an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero). We classify, in an explicit way, all the smooth cubic surfaces with non…

In their paper "Integrating curvature: From Umlaufsatz to J+ invariant" Lanzat and Polyak introduced a polynomial invariant of generic curves in the plane as a quantization of Hopf's Umlaufsatz, and showed that Arnold's J+ invariant could…

We remark that an easy combination of two known results yields a positive answer, up to log(n) terms, to a duality conjecture that goes back to Pietsch. In particular, we show that for any two symmetric convex bodies K,T in R^n, denoting by…

Building on a result by Tao, we show that a certain type of simple closed curve in the plane given by the union of the graphs of two $1$-Lipschitz functions inscribes a square whose sidelength is bounded from below by a universal constant…

${\cal U}$ntil now the representation (i.e. plotting) of curve in Parallel Coordinates is constructed from the point $\leftrightarrow$ line duality. The result is a ``line-curve'' which is seen as the envelope of it's tangents. Usually this…

We classify 'primitive normal compactifications' of C^2 (i.e. normal analytic surfaces containing C^2 for which the curve at infinity is irreducible), compute the moduli space of these surfaces and their groups of auomorphisms. In…

We consider the polar curves $\PSO$ arising from generic projections of a germ $(S,0)$ of complex surface singularity onto $\C^2$. Taking $(S,0)$ to be a minimal singularity of normal surface (i.e. a rational singularity with reduced…

We derive the spectral curves for $q$-part double Hurwitz numbers, $r$-spin simple Hurwitz numbers, and arbitrary combinations of these cases, from the analysis of the unstable (0,1)-geometry. We quantize this family of spectral curves and…

We develop an invariant local theory of Lorentz surfaces in pseudo-Euclidean 4-space by use of a linear map of Weingarten type. We find a geometrically determined moving frame field at each point of the surface and obtain a system of…

A polynomial map $F=(P,Q)\in \Z [x,y]^2$ with Jacobian $JF:=P_xQ_y-P_yQ_x\equiv 1$ has a polynomial inverse of integer coefficients if the complex plane curve P=0 has infinitely many integer points.

We investigate and define in this paper, in the context of the correspondence between anti-de Sitter $3$-space and $(1,1)$-conformal metrics, the analogs of $\cW$-volume, Epstein surfaces, and Liouville action. These notions were…

In this paper we give several conditions implying the irreducibility of the algebraic curve P(x)-Q(y)=0, where P,Q are rational functions. We also apply the results obtained to the functional equations P(f)=Q(g) and P(f)=cP(g), where c\in…

A nonlocal curvature flow is introduced to evolve locally convex curves in the plane. It is proved that this flow with any initial locally convex curve has a global solution, keeping the local convexity and the elastic energy of the…

These are notes on some algebraic geometry of complex projective curves, together with an application to studying the contact curves in CP^3 and the null curves in the complex quadric Q^3 in CP^4, related by the well-known Klein…

This work concerns Waring decompositions of a certain kind of plane quartics of high rank. The main result is the following. Let x, l_1, ...., l_7 be linear forms and q a quadratic form on a vector space of dimension 3. If…

This paper is an addendum to [4], in which the authors constructed a simply connected minimal complex surface of general type with p_g=0 and K^2=3. In this paper we construct a new non-simply connected minimal surface of general type with…

The paper describes behavior of log-inflection points of curves in $(\mathbb{C}^*)^2$ under passing to the tropical limit. We show that such points accumulate by pairs at the midpoints of bounded edges in the limiting tropical curve.…

Given a sequence (a_k) = a_0, a_1, a_2,... of real numbers, define a new sequence L(a_k) = (b_k) where b_k = a_k^2 - a_{k-1} a_{k+1}. So (a_k) is log-concave if and only if (b_k) is a nonnegative sequence. Call (a_k) "infinitely…
