An Arakelov inequality in characteristic p and upper bound of p-rank zero locus

2008

In this paper we show an Arakelov inequality for semi-stable families of algebraic curves of genus $g\geq 1$ over characteristic $p$ with nontrivial Kodaira-Spencer maps. We apply this inequality to obtain an upper bound of the number of algebraic curves of $p-$rank zero in a semi-stable family over characteristic $p$ with nontrivial Kodaira-Spencer map in terms of the genus of a general closed fiber, the genus of the base curve and the number of singular fibres. An extension of the above results to smooth families of Abelian varieties over $k$ with $W_2$-lifting assumption is also included.

Picard and the Italian Mathematicians: The History of Three Prix Bordin

2016

It is usually said that in the transition period between 19th and 20th centuries, French scholars (mainly Picard and Humbert) as well as Italian scholars (mainly Castelnuovo, Enriques and Severi) were interested in the study of algebraic surfaces, though using different methods.

On many-sorted algebraic closure operators

2004

A theorem of Birkhoff-Frink asserts that every algebraic closure operator on an ordinary set arises, from some algebraic structure on the set, as the corresponding generated subalgebra operator. However, for many-sorted sets, i.e., indexed families of sets, such a theorem is not longer true without qualification. We characterize the corresponding many-sorted closure operators as precisely the uniform algebraic operators. (© 2004 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Conversion d'un carreau de Bézier rationnel biquadratique en un carreau de cyclide de Dupin quartique

2006

Dupin cyclides were introduced in 1822 by the French mathematician C-P. Dupin. They are algebraic surfaces of degree 3 or 4. The set of geometric properties of these surfaces has encouraged an increasing interest in using them for geometric modeling. A couple of algorithmes is already developed to convert a Dupin cyclide patch into a rational biquadratic Bezier patch. In this paper, we consider the inverse problem: we investigate the conditions of convertibility of a Bezier patch into a Dupin cyclide one, and we present a conversion algorithm to compute the parameters of a Dupin cyclide with the boundary of the patch that corresponds to the given Bezier patch.

Construction of 3D Triangles on Dupin Cyclides

2011

This paper considers the conversion of the parametric Bézier surfaces, classically used in CAD-CAM, into patched of a class of non-spherical degree 4 algebraic surfaces called Dupin cyclides, and the definition of 3D triangle with circular edges on Dupin cyclides. Dupin cyclides was discovered by the French mathematician Pierre-Charles Dupin at the beginning of the 19th century. A Dupin cyclide has one parametric equation, two implicit equations, and a set of circular lines of curvature. The authors use the properties of these surfaces to prove that three families of circles (meridian arcs, parallel arcs, and Villarceau circles) can be computed on every Dupin cyclide. A geometric algorithm …

Embeddings of Danielewski surfaces

2003

A Danielewski surface is defined by a polynomial of the form P=x nz −p(y). Define also the polynomial P ′ =x nz −r(x)p(y) where r(x) is a non-constant polynomial of degree ≤n−1 and r(0)=1. We show that, when n≥2 and deg p(y)≥2, the general fibers of P and P ′ are not isomorphic as algebraic surfaces, but that the zero fibers are isomorphic. Consequently, for every non-special Danielewski surface S, there exist non-equivalent algebraic embeddings of S in ℂ3. Using different methods, we also give non-equivalent embeddings of the surfaces xz=(y d n >−1) for an infinite sequence of integers d n . We then consider a certain algebraic action of the orthogonal group $\mathcal O(2)$ on ℂ4 which was…

Computation of Yvon-Villarceau circles on Dupin cyclides and construction of circular edge right triangles on tori and Dupin cyclides

2014

Ring Dupin cyclides are non-spherical algebraic surfaces of degree four that can be defined as the image by inversion of a ring torus. They are interesting in geometric modeling because: (1) they have several families of circles embedded on them: parallel, meridian, and Yvon-Villarceau circles, and (2) they are characterized by one parametric equation and two equivalent implicit ones, allowing for better flexibility and easiness of use by adopting one representation or the other, according to the best suitability for a particular application. These facts motivate the construction of circular edge triangles lying on Dupin cyclides and exhibiting the aforementioned properties. Our first contr…

New lower bounds for the minimum distance of generalized algebraic geometry codes

2013

Abstract In this paper, we give a new lower bound for generalized algebraic geometry codes with which we are able to construct some new linear codes having better parameters compared with the ones known in the literature. Moreover, we give a relationship between a family of generalized algebraic geometry codes and algebraic geometry codes. Finally, we propose a decoding algorithm for such a family.

Efficient computation of the branching structure of an algebraic curve

2012

An efficient algorithm for computing the branching structure of a compact Riemann surface defined via an algebraic curve is presented. Generators of the fundamental group of the base of the ramified covering punctured at the discriminant points of the curve are constructed via a minimal spanning tree of the discriminant points. This leads to paths of minimal length between the points, which is important for a later stage where these paths are used as integration contours to compute periods of the surface. The branching structure of the surface is obtained by analytically continuing the roots of the equation defining the algebraic curve along the constructed generators of the fundamental gro…
