Birational models for varieties of Poncelet curves.
Blaschke product generated covering surfaces
It is known that, under very general conditions, Blaschke products generate branched covering surfaces of the Riemann sphere. We are presenting here a method of finding fundamental domains of such coverings and we are studying the corresponding groups of covering transformations.
Bornes pour la régularité de Castelnuovo-Mumford des schémas non lisses
Nous montrons dans cet article des bornes pour la régularité de Castelnuovo-Mumford d’un schéma admettant des singularités, en fonction des degrés des équations définissant le schéma, de sa dimension et de la dimension de son lieu singulier. Dans le cas où les singularités sont isolées, nous améliorons la borne fournie par Chardin et Ulrich et dans le cas général, nous établissons une borne doublement exponentielle en la dimension du lieu singulier.
Bounding automorphism groups.
Bounds for rational points on twists of constant hyperelliptic curves.
Bounds for stable bundles and degrees of Weierstrass schemes.
Bounds for the minimal solution of genus zero diophantine equations
Bounds for the order of the Tate-Shafarevich group
Bounds on multisecant lines.
The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we give an upper bound on the order of a multisecant line to an integral arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay subscheme in Pn of codimension two in terms of the Hilbert function. Secondly, we give an explicit description of the singular locus of the blow up of an arbitrary local ring at a complete intersection ideal. This description is used to refine a standard linking theorem. These results are tied together by the construction of sharp examples for the bound,...
Bounds on the number of non-rational subfields of a function field.
Braid Monodromy of Algebraic Curves
These are the notes from a one-week course on Braid Monodromy of Algebraic Curves given at the Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour during the Première Ecole Franco-Espagnole: Groupes de tresses et topologie en petite dimension in October 2009.This is intended to be an introductory survey through which we hope we can briefly outline the power of the concept monodromy as a common area for group theory, algebraic geometry, and topology of projective curves.The main classical results are stated...
Braids in Pau – An Introduction
In this work, we describe the historic links between the study of -dimensional manifolds (specially knot theory) and the study of the topology of complex plane curves with a particular attention to the role of braid groups and Alexander-like invariants (torsions, different instances of Alexander polynomials). We finish with detailed computations in an example.
Branching data for algebraic functions and representability by radicals
The branching data of an algebraic function is a list of orders of local monodromies around branching points. We present branching data that ensure that the algebraic functions having them are representable by radicals. This paper is a review of recent work by the authors and of closely related classical work by Ritt.
Brill–Noether loci for divisors on irregular varieties
We take up the study of the Brill-Noether loci , where is a smooth projective variety of dimension , , and 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 , where is a divisor that moves linearly on a smooth projective variety of maximal Albanese dimension. In this way we sharpen the results of [Xi] and we generalize them to dimension . In the -dimensional case we prove an...
