Algebraic models of the Euclidean plane
2018
We introduce a new invariant, the real (logarithmic)-Kodaira dimension, that allows to distinguish smooth real algebraic surfaces up to birational diffeomorphism. As an application, we construct infinite families of smooth rational real algebraic surfaces with trivial homology groups, whose real loci are diffeomorphic to $\mathbb{R}^2$, but which are pairwise not birationally diffeomorphic. There are thus infinitely many non-trivial models of the euclidean plane, contrary to the compact case.
Affine Surfaces With a Huge Group of Automorphisms
2013
We describe a family of rational affine surfaces S with huge groups of automorphisms in the following sense: the normal subgroup Aut(S)alg of Aut(S) generated by all algebraic subgroups of Aut(S) is not generated by any countable family of such subgroups, and the quotient Aut(S)/Aut(S)alg cointains a free group over an uncountable set of generators.
Torsion of a finite base locus
2018
We interpret geometrically the torsion of the symmetric algebra of the ideal sheaf of a zero-dimensional scheme Z defined by $n+1$ equations in an $n$-dimensional variety. This leads us to generalise a formula of A.Dimca and S.Papadima in positive characteristic for a rational transformation with finite base locus. Among other applications, we construct an explicit example of a homaloidal curve of degree $5$ in characteristic $3$, answering negatively a question of A.V.D\'oria, S.H.Hassanzadeh and A.Simis.
Algebraic models of the real affine plane
