Enumerative geometry of divisorial families of rational curves

Ziv Ran (2004)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Similarity:

We compute the number of irreducible rational curves of given degree with 1 tacnode in 2 or 1 node in 3 meeting an appropriate generic collection of points and lines. As a byproduct, we also compute the number of rational plane curves of degree d passing through 3 d - 2 given points and tangent to a given line. The method is ‘classical’, free of Quantum Cohomology.

Are rational curves determined by tangent vectors?

Stefan Kebekus, Sándor J. Kovács (2004)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

Let X be a projective variety which is covered by rational curves, for instance a Fano manifold over the complex numbers. In this paper, we give sufficient conditions which guarantee that every tangent vector at a general point of X is contained in at most one rational curve of minimal degree. As an immediate application, we obtain irreducibility criteria for the space of minimal rational curves.

Trivial points on towers of curves

Xavier Xarles (2013)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

In order to study the behavior of the points in a tower of curves, we introduce and study trivial points on towers of curves, and we discuss their finiteness over number fields. We relate the problem of proving that the only rational points are the trivial ones at some level of the tower, to the unboundeness of the gonality of the curves in the tower, which we show under some hypothesis.
