Optimal degree construction of real algebraic plane nodal curves with prescribed topology. I. The orientable case.

Francisco Santos — 1997

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

We study a constructive method to find an algebraic curve in the real projective plane with a (possibly singular) topological type given in advance. Our method works if the topological model T to be realized has only double singularities and gives an algebraic curve of degree 2N+2K, where N and K are the numbers of double points and connected components of T. This degree is optimal in the sense that for any choice of the numbers N and K there exist models which cannot be realized algebraically with...

On the refinements of a polyhedral subdivision.

Francisco Santos — 2001

Collectanea Mathematica

Let pi: P --> Q be an affine projection map between two polytopes P and Q. Billera and Sturmfels introduced in 1992 the concept of polyhedral subdivisions of Q induced by pi (or pi-induced) and the fiber polytope of the projection: a polytope Sygma(P,pi) of dimension dim(P)-dim(Q) whose faces are in correspondence with the coherent pi-induced subdivisions (or pi-coherent subdivisions). In this paper we investigate the structure of the poset of pi-induced refinements of a pi-induced subdivision....

The Cayley Trick, lifting subdivisions and the Bohne-Dress theorem on zonotopal tilings

Birkett HuberJörg RambauFrancisco Santos — 2000

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

In 1994, Sturmfels gave a polyhedral version of the Cayley Trick of elimination theory: he established an order-preserving bijection between the posets of coherent mixed subdivisions of a Minkowski sum 𝒜 1 + + 𝒜 r of point configurations and of coherent polyhedral subdivisions of the associated Cayley embedding 𝒞 ( 𝒜 1 , , 𝒜 r ) . In this paper we extend this correspondence in a natural way to cover also non-coherent subdivisions. As an application, we show that the Cayley Trick combined with results of Santos on subdivisions...
