The singularities of the midpoint map associated to a smooth plane curve, which is a map from the plane to the plane, are classified. The midlocus associated to a regular space curve is introduced. The geometric conditions for the midlocus of a space curve to have a crosscap or an S?1 singularities are investigated. A more general map, the ?-point map, associated to a space curve is introduced and many known surface singularities are realized as a special cases of this construction.

AbstractLet (X, H) be a polarized K3 surface with $$\mathrm {Pic}(X) = \mathbb {Z}H$$ Pic ( X ) = Z H , and let $$C\in |H|$$ C ∈ | H | be a smooth curve of genus g. We give an upper bound on the dimension of global sections of a semistable vector bundle on C. This allows us to compute the higher rank Clifford indices of C with high genus. In particular, when $$g\ge r^2\ge 4$$ g ≥ r 2 ≥ 4 , the rank r Clifford index of C can be computed by the restriction of Lazarsfeld–Mukai bundles on X corresponding to line bundles on the curve C. This is a generalization of the result by Green and Lazarsfeld for curves on K3 surfaces to higher rank vector bundles. We also apply the same method to the projective plane and show that the rank r Clifford index of a degree $$d(\ge 5)$$ d ( ≥ 5 ) smooth plane curve is $$d-4$$ d - 4 , which is the same as the Clifford index of the curve.

AbstractThe splitting number of a plane irreducible curve for a Galois cover is effective in distinguishing the embedded topology of plane curves. In this paper, we define the connected number of a plane curve (possibly reducible) for a Galois cover, which is similar to the splitting number. By using the connected number, we distinguish the embedded topology of Artal arrangements of degree b ≥ 4, where an Artal arrangement of degree b is a plane curve consisting of one smooth curve of degree b and three of its total inflectional tangents.

With any twisted curve of order six is associated a system of planes, usually finite in number, which touch the curve at three distinct points. The curve with its system of tritangent planes possesses properties which recall the properties of a plane quartic curve and its system of bitangent lines; and this is specially true of the sextic which is the intersection of a cubic and a quadric surface. But whereas the properties of the plane curve were discovered by geometrical methods, such methods have only recently been applied with success to the space-curve; the earliest properties were obtained by Clebsch from his Theory of Abelian Functions. In the absence of any one place to which reference can conveniently be made, an account of these properties in their geometrical aspect will be useful.

Abstract In 1980 Zelevinsky introduced certain commuting varieties whose irreducible components classify complex, irreducible representations of the general linear group over a non-archimedean local field with a given supercuspidal support. We formulate geometric conditions for certain triples of such components and conjecture that these conditions are related to irreducibility of parabolic induction. The conditions are in the spirit of the Geiss–Leclerc–Schröer condition that occurs in the conjectural characterization of $$\square $$ □ -irreducible representations. We verify some special cases of the new conjecture and check that the geometric and representation-theoretic conditions are compatible in various ways.

Motivated by registration problems, this paper deals with a curve matching problem in homogeneous spaces. Let G be a connected finite-dimensional bi-invariant Lie group and K a closed subgroup. A smooth curve g in G is said to be admissible if it can transform two smooth curves f 1 and f 2 in G / K from one to the other. An ( f 1 , f 2 )- relative geodesic (Holm et al. 2013 Proc. R. Soc. A 469 , 20130297. ( doi:10.1098/rspa.2013.0297 )) is defined as a critical point of the total energy E ( g ) as g varies in the set of all ( f 1 , f 2 )-admissible curves. We obtain the Euler–Lagrange equation, a first-order differential equation, satisfied by a relative geodesic. Furthermore, the Euler–Lagrange equation is simplified for the case where G / K is globally symmetric. As a concrete example, relative geodesics are found for special cases where G is SO(3) and K is SO(2). As an application of discrepancy for curves in S 2 , we construct and study a new measure of non-congruency for constant speed curves in Euclidean 3-space. Numerical examples are given to illustrate results.

The classification of Bruce and Gaffney respectively Gibson and Hobbs for simple plane curve singularities respectively simple space curve singularities is characterized in terms of invariants. This is the basis for the implementation of a classifier in the computer algebra system singular.

We study maximal families W of the Hilbert scheme, H(d, g)sc, of smooth connected space curves whose general curve C lies on a smooth surface S of degree s. We give conditions on C under which W is a generically smooth component of H(d, g)sc and we determine dim W. If s = 4 and W is an irreducible component of H(d, g)sc, then the Picard number of S is at most 2 and we explicitly describe, also for s ≥ 5, non-reduced and generically smooth components in the case Pic (S) is generated by the classes of a line and a smooth plane curve of degree s - 1. For curves on smooth cubic surfaces the first author finds new classes of non-reduced components of H(d, g)sc, thus making progress in proving a conjecture for such families.
