Enumerative geometry of divisorial families of rational curves

Ziv Ran (2004)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

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.

Families of smooth curves on surface singularities and wedges

Gérard Gonzalez-Sprinberg, Monique Lejeune-Jalabert (1997)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Following the study of the arc structure of singularities, initiated by J. Nash, we give criteria for the existence of smooth curves on a surface singularity (S,O) and of smooth branches of its generic hypersurface section. The main applications are the following: the existence of a natural partition of the set of smooth curves on (S,O) into families, a description of each of them by means of chains of infinitely near points and their associated maximal cycle and the existence of smooth curves on...

Geometry of arithmetically Gorenstein curves in P4.

Robin Hartshorne (2004)

Collectanea Mathematica

We characterize the postulation character of arithmetically Gorenstein curves in P4. We give conditions under which the curve can be realized in the form mH - K on some ACM surface. Finally, we complement a theorem by Watanabe by showing that any general arithmetically Gorenstein curve in P4 with arbitrary fixed postulation character can be obtained from a line by a series of ascending complete-intersection biliaisons.

Geometry of Puiseux expansions

Maciej Borodzik, Henryk Żołądek (2008)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We consider the space Curv of complex affine lines t ↦ (x,y) = (ϕ(t),ψ(t)) with monic polynomials ϕ, ψ of fixed degrees and a map Expan from Curv to a complex affine space Puis with dim Curv = dim Puis, which is defined by initial Puiseux coefficients of the Puiseux expansion of the curve at infinity. We present some unexpected relations between geometrical properties of the curves (ϕ,ψ) and singularities of the map Expan. For example, the curve (ϕ,ψ) has a cuspidal singularity iff it is a critical...

Gonality for stable curves and their maps with a smooth curve as their target

Edoardo Ballico (2009)

Open Mathematics

Here we study the deformation theory of some maps f: X → ℙr , r = 1, 2, where X is a nodal curve and f|T is not constant for every irreducible component T of X. For r = 1 we show that the “stratification by gonality” for any subset of [...] with fixed topological type behaves like the stratification by gonality of M g.

Gorenstein liaison of some curves in P4.

Joshua Lesperance (2001)

Collectanea Mathematica

Despite the recent advances made in Gorenstein liaison, there are still many open questions for the theory in codimension ≥ 3. In particular we consider the following question: given two curves in Pn with isomorphic deficiency modules (up to shift), can they be evenly Gorenstein linked? The answer for this is yes for curves in P3, due to Rao, but for higher codimension the answer is not known. This paper will look at large classes of curves in P4 with isomorphic deficiency modules and show that...

Halphen gaps and good space curves

Jan O. Kleppe (1998)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

In questo articolo dimostriamo l'esistenza di curve "buone e generali" di grado d e genere g che giacciono su di una superfice liscia di grado s , per ogni s 4 , d s 2 , e g in un certo intervallo vicino al genere massimo.

Hvězdicové mnohoúhelníky

Jan Fiala (2016)

Učitel matematiky

The article presents some possibilities to create non-convex star polygons from regular polygons. The text includes exercises about the construction of the star polygons and exercises inciting to study their attributes and their using in the everyday life of the pupil. The subject of the star polygons deepens the basic curriculum in plane geometry in RVP and it is a suitable motivation complement in teaching mathematics at the second stage of elementary school as well as at grammar school.

La conjecture de Green générique

Arnaud Beauville (2003/2004)

Séminaire Bourbaki

Une courbe C projective et lisse de genre g , non hyperelliptique, admet un plongement canonique dans un espace projectif g - 1 . Un résultat classique affirme que l’idéal gradué I C des équations de C dans g - 1 est engendré par ses éléments de degré 2 , sauf si C admet certains systèmes linéaires très particuliers. Mark Green en a proposé il y a vingt ans une vaste généralisation, qui décrit la résolution minimale de I C en fonction de l’existence de systèmes linéaires spéciaux sur C . Claire Voisin vient de...
