On ramified covers of the projective plane II: Generalizing Segre’s theory

Michael Friedman, Rebecca Lehman, Maxim Leyenson, Mina Teicher (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

The classical Segre theory gives a necessary and sufficient condition for a plane curve to be a branch curve of a (generic) projection of a smooth surface in $ℙ^{3}$ . We generalize this result for smooth surfaces in a projective space of any dimension in the following way: given two plane curves, $B$ and $E$ , we give a necessary and sufficient condition for $B$ to be the branch curve of a surface $X$ in $ℙ^{N}$ and $E$ to be the image of the double curve of a $ℙ^{3}$ -model of $X$ . In the classical Segre theory, a...

On Zariski's theorem in positive characteristic

Ilya Tyomkin (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

In the current paper we show that the dimension of a family $V$ of irreducible reduced curves in a given ample linear system on a toric surface $S$ over an algebraically closed field is bounded from above by $- K_{S} . C + p_{g} (C) - 1$ , where $C$ denotes a general curve in the family. This result generalizes a famous theorem of Zariski to the case of positive characteristic. We also explore new phenomena that occur in positive characteristic: We show that the equality $𝚍𝚒𝚖 (V) = - K_{S} . C + p_{g} (C) - 1$ does not imply the nodality of $C$ even if $C$ belongs...

On the birational gonalities of smooth curves

E. Ballico (2014)

Annales Universitatis Mariae Curie-Sklodowska, sectio A – Mathematica

Similarity:

Let $C$ be a smooth curve of genus $g$ . For each positive integer $r$ the birational $r$ -gonality $s_{r} (C)$ of $C$ is the minimal integer $t$ such that there is $L \in {Pic}^{t} (C)$ with $h^{0} (C, L) = r + 1$ . Fix an integer $r \geq 3$ . In this paper we prove the existence of an integer $g_{r}$ such that for every integer $g \geq g_{r}$ there is a smooth curve $C$ of genus $g$ with $s_{r + 1} (C) / (r + 1) > s_{r} (C) / r$ , i.e. in the sequence of all birational gonalities of $C$ at least one of the slope inequalities fails.

Preperiodic dynatomic curves for $z \mapsto z^{d} + c$

Yan Gao (2016)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The preperiodic dynatomic curve $_{n, p}$ is the closure in ℂ² of the set of (c,z) such that z is a preperiodic point of the polynomial $z \mapsto z^{d} + c$ with preperiod n and period p (n,p ≥ 1). We prove that each $_{n, p}$ has exactly d-1 irreducible components, which are all smooth and have pairwise transverse intersections at the singular points of $_{n, p}$ . We also compute the genus of each component and the Galois group of the defining polynomial of $_{n, p}$ .

Brill–Noether loci for divisors on irregular varieties

Margarida Mendes Lopes, Rita Pardini, Pietro Pirola (2014)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We take up the study of the Brill-Noether loci $W^{r} (L, X) : = {η \in {Pic}^{0} (X) | h^{0} (L \otimes η) \geq r + 1}$ , where $X$ is a smooth projective variety of dimension $> 1$ , $L \in Pic (X)$ , and $r \geq 0$ is an integer. By studying the infinitesimal structure of these loci and the Petri map (defined in analogy with the case of curves), we obtain lower bounds for $h^{0} (K_{D})$ , where $D$ is a divisor that moves linearly on a smooth projective variety $X$ of maximal Albanese dimension. In this way we sharpen the results of [Xi] and we generalize them to dimension $> 2$ . In the $2$ -dimensional case...

Shells of monotone curves

Josef Mikeš, Karl Strambach (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We determine in $ℝ^{n}$ the form of curves $C$ corresponding to strictly monotone functions as well as the components of affine connections $\nabla$ for which any image of $C$ under a compact-free group $Ω$ of affinities containing the translation group is a geodesic with respect to $\nabla$ . Special attention is paid to the case that $Ω$ contains many dilatations or that $C$ is a curve in $ℝ^{3}$ . If $C$ is a curve in $ℝ^{3}$ and $Ω$ is the translation group then we calculate not only the components of the curvature and the Weyl...

The local lifting problem for actions of finite groups on curves

Ted Chinburg, Robert Guralnick, David Harbater (2011)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 0$ . We study obstructions to lifting to characteristic $0$ the faithful continuous action $φ$ of a finite group $G$ on $k [[t]]$ . To each such $φ$ a theorem of Katz and Gabber associates an action of $G$ on a smooth projective curve $Y$ over $k$ . We say that the KGB obstruction of $φ$ vanishes if $G$ acts on a smooth projective curve $X$ in characteristic $0$ in such a way that $X / H$ and $Y / H$ have the same genus for all subgroups $H \subset G$ . We determine for which $G$ the KGB...

On the complexity of braids

Ivan Dynnikov, Bert Wiest (2007)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We define a measure of “complexity” of a braid which is natural with respect to both an algebraic and a geometric point of view. Algebraically, we modify the standard notion of the length of a braid by introducing generators $_{i j}$ , which are Garside-like half-twists involving strings $i$ through $j$ , and by counting powered generators $Δ_{i j}^{k}$ as $log (| k | + 1)$ instead of simply $| k |$ . The geometrical complexity is some natural measure of the amount of distortion of the $n$ times punctured disk caused by a homeomorphism....

Non-supersingular hyperelliptic jacobians

Yuri G. Zarhin (2004)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Similarity:

Let $K$ be a field of odd characteristic $p$ , let $f (x)$ be an irreducible separable polynomial of degree $n \geq 5$ with big Galois group (the symmetric group or the alternating group). Let $C$ be the hyperelliptic curve $y^{2} = f (x)$ and $J (C)$ its jacobian. We prove that $J (C)$ does not have nontrivial endomorphisms over an algebraic closure of $K$ if either $n \geq 7$ or $p \neq 3$ .

Monodromy of a family of hypersurfaces

Vincenzo Di Gennaro, Davide Franco (2009)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

Let $Y$ be an $(m + 1)$ -dimensional irreducible smooth complex projective variety embedded in a projective space. Let $Z$ be a closed subscheme of $Y$ , and $δ$ be a positive integer such that $ℐ_{Z, Y} (δ)$ is generated by global sections. Fix an integer $d \geq δ + 1$ , and assume the general divisor $X \in | H^{0} (Y, ℐ_{Z, Y} (d)) |$ is smooth. Denote by $H^{m} {(X; ℚ)}_{⊥ Z}^{van}$ the quotient of $H^{m} (X; ℚ)$ by the cohomology of $Y$ and also by the cycle classes of the irreducible components of dimension $m$ of $Z$ . In the present paper we prove that the monodromy representation on $H^{m} {(X; ℚ)}_{⊥ Z}^{van}$ for the family...

The Briançon-Skoda number of analytic irreducible planar curves

Jacob Sznajdman (2014)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

The Briançon-Skoda number of a ring $R$ is defined as the smallest integer k, such that for any ideal $I \subset R$ and $l \geq 1$ , the integral closure of $I^{k + l - 1}$ is contained in $I^{l}$ . We compute the Briançon-Skoda number of the local ring of any analytic irreducible planar curve in terms of its Puiseux characteristics. It turns out that this number is closely related to the Milnor number.

An effective proof of the hyperelliptic Shafarevich conjecture

Rafael von Känel (2014)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

Let $C$ be a hyperelliptic curve of genus $g \geq 1$ over a number field $K$ with good reduction outside a finite set of places $S$ of $K$ . We prove that $C$ has a Weierstrass model over the ring of integers of $K$ with height effectively bounded only in terms of $g$ , $S$ and $K$ . In particular, we obtain that for any given number field $K$ , finite set of places $S$ of $K$ and integer $g \geq 1$ one can in principle determine the set of $K$ -isomorphism classes of hyperelliptic curves over $K$ of genus $g$ with good reduction outside...
