Dehn twists on nonorientable surfaces

Michał Stukow (2006)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let t a be the Dehn twist about a circle a on an orientable surface. It is well known that for each circle b and an integer n, I ( t a ( b ) , b ) = | n | I ( a , b ) ² , where I(·,·) is the geometric intersection number. We prove a similar formula for circles on nonorientable surfaces. As a corollary we prove some algebraic properties of twists on nonorientable surfaces. We also prove that if ℳ(N) is the mapping class group of a nonorientable surface N, then up to a finite number of exceptions, the centraliser of the subgroup...

On a stratification of the moduli of K3 surfaces

Gerard van der Geer, T. Katsura (2000)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

In this paper we give a characterization of the height of K3 surfaces in characteristic p > 0 . This enables us to calculate the cycle classes in families of K3 surfaces of the loci where the height is at least h . The formulas for such loci can be seen as generalizations of the famous formula of Deuring for the number of supersingular elliptic curves in characteristic p . In order to describe the tangent spaces to these loci we study the first cohomology of higher closed forms.

Surfaces which contain many circles

Nobuko Takeuchi (2008)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We survey the results on surfaces which contain many circles. First, we give two analyses of shapes which always look round. Then we introduce the Blum conjecture: “A closed C surface in E³ which contains seven circles through each point is a sphere”, and give some partial affirmative results toward the conjecture. Moreover, we study some surfaces which contain many circles through each point, for example, cyclides.

On the Kähler Rank of Compact Complex Surfaces

Matei Toma (2008)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

Harvey and Lawson introduced the Kähler rank and computed it in connection to the cone of positive exact currents of bidimension ( 1 , 1 ) for many classes of compact complex surfaces. In this paper we extend these computations to the only further known class of surfaces not considered by them, that of Kato surfaces. Our main tool is the reduction to the dynamics of associated holomorphic contractions ( 2 , 0 ) ( 2 , 0 ) .

Numerical Campedelli surfaces with fundamental group of order 9

Margarida Mendes Lopes, Rita Pardini (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We give explicit constructions of all the numerical Campedelli surfaces, i.e. the minimal surfaces of general type with K 2 = 2 and p g = 0 , whose fundamental group has order 9. There are three families, one with π 1 alg = 9 and two with π 1 alg = 3 2 . We also determine the base locus of the bicanonical system of these surfaces. It turns out that for the surfaces with π 1 alg = 9 and for one of the families of surfaces with π 1 alg = 3 2 the base locus consists of two points. To our knowlegde, these are the only known examples of surfaces...

Ramification of the Gauss map of complete minimal surfaces in 3 and 4 on annular ends

Gerd Dethloff, Pham Hoang Ha (2014)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

In this article, we study the ramification of the Gauss map of complete minimal surfaces in 3 and 4 on annular ends. We obtain results which are similar to the ones obtained by Fujimoto ([4], [5]) and Ru ([13], [14]) for (the whole) complete minimal surfaces, thus we show that the restriction of the Gauss map to an annular end of such a complete minimal surface cannot have more branching (and in particular not avoid more values) than on the whole complete minimal surface. We thus give...

Some surfaces with maximal Picard number

Arnaud Beauville (2014)

Journal de l’École polytechnique — Mathématiques

Similarity:

For a smooth complex projective variety, the rank ρ of the Néron-Severi group is bounded by the Hodge number h 1 , 1 . Varieties with ρ = h 1 , 1 have interesting properties, but are rather sparse, particularly in dimension 2 . We discuss in this note a number of examples, in particular those constructed from curves with special Jacobians.

Systole growth for finite area hyperbolic surfaces

Florent Balacheff, Eran Makover, Hugo Parlier (2014)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

In this note, we observe that the maximum value achieved by the systole function over all complete finite area hyperbolic surfaces of a given signature ( g , n ) is greater than a function that grows logarithmically in terms of the ratio g / n .

Counting lines on surfaces

Samuel Boissière, Alessandra Sarti (2007)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Similarity:

This paper deals with surfaces with many lines. It is well-known that a cubic contains 27 of them and that the maximal number for a quartic is 64 . In higher degree the question remains open. Here we study classical and new constructions of surfaces with high number of lines. We obtain a symmetric octic with 352 lines, and give examples of surfaces of degree d containing a sequence of d ( d - 2 ) + 4 skew lines.

On the uniqueness of elliptic K3 surfaces with maximal singular fibre

Matthias Schütt, Andreas Schweizer (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We explicitly determine the elliptic K 3 surfaces with section and maximal singular fibre. If the characteristic of the ground field is different from 2 , for each of the two possible maximal fibre types, I 19 and I 14 * , the surface is unique. In characteristic 2 the maximal fibre types are I 18 and I 13 * , and there exist two (resp. one) one-parameter families of such surfaces.

A Characterization of ω -Limit Sets for Continuous Flows on Surfaces

Víctor Jiménez López, Gabriel Soler López (2006)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

An explicit topological description of ω-limit sets of continuous flows on compact surfaces without boundary is given. Some of the results can be extended to manifolds of larger dimensions.

Size minimizing surfaces

Thierry De Pauw (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

We prove a new existence theorem pertaining to the Plateau problem in 3 -dimensional Euclidean space. We compare the approach of E.R. Reifenberg with that of H. Federer and W.H. Fleming. A relevant technical step consists in showing that compact rectifiable surfaces are approximatable in Hausdorff measure and in Hausdorff distance by locally acyclic surfaces having the same boundary.

A Note on Surfaces in 2 ×

Stefano Montaldo, Irene I. Onnis (2007)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Similarity:

In this article we consider surfaces in the product space 2 × of the hyperbolic plane 2 with the real line. The main results are: a description of some geometric properties of minimal graphs; new examples of complete minimal graphs; the local classification of totally umbilical surfaces.

Dimension vs. genus: A surface realization of the little k-cubes and an E operad

Ralph M. Kaufmann (2009)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

We define a new E operad based on surfaces with foliations which contains E k suboperads. We construct CW models for these operads and provide applications of these models by giving actions on Hochschild complexes (thus making contact with string topology), by giving explicit cell representatives for the Dyer-Lashof-Cohen operations for the 2-cubes and by constructing new Ω spectra. The underlying novel principle is that we can trade genus in the surface representation vs. the dimension...

Even sets of nodes on sextic surfaces

Fabrizio Catanese, Fabio Tonoli (2007)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We determine the possible even sets of nodes on sextic surfaces in 3 , showing in particular that their cardinalities are exactly the numbers in the set { 24 , 32 , 40 , 56 } . We also show that all the possible cases admit an explicit description. The methods that we use are an interplay of coding theory and projective geometry on one hand, and of homological and computer algebra on the other. We give a detailed geometric construction for the new case of an even set of 56 nodes, but the ultimate verification...

The KSBA compactification for the moduli space of degree two K 3 pairs

Radu Laza (2016)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Inspired by the ideas of the minimal model program, Shepherd-Barron, Kollár, and Alexeev have constructed a geometric compactification for the moduli space of surfaces of log general type. In this paper, we discuss one of the simplest examples that fits into this framework: the case of pairs ( X , H ) consisting of a degree two K 3 surface X and an ample divisor H . Specifically, we construct and describe explicitly a geometric compactification P ¯ 2 for the moduli of degree two K 3 pairs. This compactification...

Smooth double subvarieties on singular varieties, III

M. R. Gonzalez-Dorrego (2016)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

Let k be an algebraically closed field, char k = 0. Let C be an irreducible nonsingular curve such that rC = S ∩ F, r ∈ ℕ, where S and F are two surfaces and all the singularities of F are of the form z ³ = x 3 s - y 3 s , s ∈ ℕ. We prove that C can never pass through such kind of singularities of a surface, unless r = 3a, a ∈ ℕ. We study multiplicity-r structures on varieties r ∈ ℕ. Let Z be a reduced irreducible nonsingular (n-1)-dimensional variety such that rZ = X ∩ F, where X is a normal n-fold, F...
