Curves in P2(C) with 1-dimensional symmetry.

A. A. du Plessis, Charles Terence Clegg Wall (1999)

Revista Matemática Complutense

In a previous paper we showed that the existence of a 1-parameter symmetry group of a hypersurface X in projective space was equivalent to failure of versality of a certain unfolding. Here we study in detail (reduced) plane curves of degree d ≥ 3, excluding the trivial case of cones. We enumerate all possible group actions -these have to be either semisimple or unipotent- for any degree d. A 2-parameter group can only occur if d = 3. Explicit lists of singularities of the corresponding curves are...

Degrés d’homogénéité de l’ensemble des intersections complètes singulières

Olivier Benoist (2012)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Un résultat classique de Boole montre que, sur un corps de caractéristique 0, l’ensemble des hypersurfaces singulières de degré d dans N est un diviseur de degré ( N + 1 ) ( d - 1 ) N de l’espace projectif de toutes les hypersurfaces. On obtient ici des formules analogues pour des intersections complètes de codimension et de degrés quelconques dans N , en toute caractéristique.

Enumeration of real conics and maximal configurations

Erwan Brugallé, Nicolas Puignau (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We use floor decompositions of tropical curves to prove that any enumerative problem concerning conics passing through projective-linear subspaces in P n is maximal. That is, there exist generic configurations of real linear spaces such that all complex conics passing through these constraints are actually real.
