ALGORITHM OF GLOBAL UNIFORMIZATION OF ALGEBRAIC CORRESPONDENCE

The problem of global uniformization of algebraic correspondence is investigated. The weaker assumptions are used in the analysis.

Relative equilibria of the four-body problem

By employing a regularizing transformation, the problem of bifurcation of relative equilibria in the Newtonian 4-body problem is reduced to a study of an algebraic correspondence between real algebraic varieties. The finiteness theorems of algebraic geometry are used to find an upper bound for the number of affine equivalence classes of relative equilibria which holds for all masses in the complement of a proper, algebraic subset of the space of all masses.

Some enumerative formulae for algebraic curves

This paper is in two parts. In Part I we are concerned with one or more linear series on an algebraic curve; we consider a set of points on the curve which are contained with assigned multiplicities in a set of each of the linear series and, by persistent use of Severi's equivalence relation for the united points of an algebraic correspondence with valency, we derive formulae for the number of such sets of points when the constants involved are such as to make this number finite. All this is essentially a generalization of the formula for the number of points in the Jacobian set of a linear series of freedom 1, and the main result is Theorem 3.
