Minitwistor spaces,Severi varieties,and Einstein–Weyl structure

In this article, we show that the space of nodal rational curves, which is so called a Severi variety (of rational curves), on any non-singular projective surface is always equipped with a natural Einstein–Weyl structure, if the space is 3-dimensional. This is a generalization of the Einstein–Weyl structure on the space of smooth rational curves on a complex surface, given by Hitchin. As geometric objects naturally associated to Einstein–Weyl structure, we investigate null surfaces and geodesics on the Severi varieties. Also, we see that if the projective surface has an appropriate real structure, then the real locus of the Severi variety becomes a positive definite Einstein–Weyl manifold. Moreover, we construct various explicit examples of rational surfaces having 3-dimensional Severi varieties of rational curves.     

Propriétés arithmétiques d'une famille de surfaces K3

We study a family of K3 surfaces which have a big automorphism group. We begin with generalisations of Silverman's results: construction of canonical heights, density of rational points in one orbit,... We continue the study in estimating the density of rational points on the orbiting rational curves; this estimate is compatible with Batyrev–Manin conjecture. Moreover we settle, under more geometric hypothesis, the number of rational points of such surfaces of bounded height.     

CHARACTERISATION OF RATIONAL AND NURBS DEVELOPABLE SURFACES IN COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN

In this paper we provide a characterisation of rational developable surfaces in terms of the blossoms of the bounding curves and three rational functions Λ,M,v.Properties of developable surfaces are revised in this framework.In particular,a closed algebraic formula for the edge of regression of the surface is obtained in terms of the functions Λ,M,v,which are closely related to the ones that appear in the standard decomposition of the derivative of the parametrisation of one of the bounding curves in terms of the director vector of the rulings and its derivative.It is also shown that all rational developable surfaces can be described as the set of developable surfaces which can be constructed with a constant Λ,M,v.The results are readily extended to rational spline developable surfaces.     

K3 surfaces, rational curves, and rational points

We prove that for any of a wide class of elliptic surfaces X defined over a number field k, if there is an algebraic point on X that lies on only finitely many rational curves, then there is an algebraic point on X that lies on no rational curves. In particular, our theorem applies to a large class of elliptic K3 surfaces, which relates to a question posed by Bogomolov in 1981.     

Curve and surface construction using Hermite subdivision schemes

In this paper we present a very efficient Hermite subdivision scheme, based on rational functions, and outline its potential applications, with special emphasis on the construction of cubic-like B-splines — well suited for the design of constrained curves and surfaces.     

Boundedness of Mordell-Weil ranks of certain elliptic curves and Lang's conjecture

In this paper, we show that a special case of Lang's conjecture on rational points on surfaces of general type implies that there exist only finitely many elliptic curves, when the x-coordinates of n rational points are specified with n?8.     

Zur Konstruktion Rationaler Kurven und Flächen auf Quadriken

The paper presents a powerful construction of rational curves and surfaces on quadric surfaces. These curves and surfaces are considered as solutions of certain diophantic equations in polynomial rings. A representation formula from number theory gives rise to a generalization of stereographic projection. The paper discusses the properties of this map. Some connections to advanced geometry and to the foundations of geometry are outlined.

Construction of rational surfaces yielding good codes

In the present article, we consider Algebraic Geometry codes on some rational surfaces. The estimate of the minimum distance is translated into a point counting problem on plane curves. This problem is solved by applying the upper bound à la Weil of Aubry and Perret together with the bound of Homma and Kim for plane curves. The parameters of several codes from rational surfaces are computed. Among them, the codes defined by the evaluation of forms of degree 3 on an elliptic quadric are studied. As far as we know, such codes have never been treated before. Two other rational surfaces are studied and very good codes are found on them. In particular, a [57,12,34] code over F₇ and a [91,18,53] code over F₉ are discovered, these codes beat the best known codes up to now.     

Bounds on partial derivatives of NURBS surfaces

In this paper, we estimate the partial derivative bounds for Non-Uniform Rational B-spline(NURBS) surfaces. Firstly, based on the formula of translating the product into sum of B-spline functions, discrete B-spline theory and Dir function, some derivative bounds on NURBS curves are provided. Then, the derivative bounds on the magnitudes of NURBS surfaces are proposed by regarding a rational surface as the locus of a rational curve. Finally, some numerical examples are provided to elucidate how tight the bounds are.

Approximating rational triangular Bézier surfaces by polynomial triangular Bézier surfaces

An attractive method for approximating rational triangular Bézier surfaces by polynomial triangular Bézier surfaces is introduced. The main result is that the arbitrary given order derived vectors of a polynomial triangular surface converge uniformly to those of the approximated rational triangular Bézier surface as the elevated degree tends to infinity. The polynomial triangular surface is constructed as follows. Firstly, we elevate the degree of the approximated rational triangular Bézier surface, then a polynomial triangular Bézier surface is produced, which has the same order and new control points of the degree-elevated rational surface. The approximation method has theoretical significance and application value: it solves two shortcomings-fussy expression and uninsured convergence of the approximation-of Hybrid algorithms for rational polynomial curves and surfaces approximation.     

Linear systems on rational elliptic surfaces and elliptic fibrations on K3 surfaces

We consider K3 surfaces which are double covers of rational elliptic surfaces. The former are endowed with a natural elliptic fibration, which is induced by the latter. There are also other elliptic fibrations on such K3 surfaces, which are necessarily induced by special linear systems on the rational elliptic surfaces. We describe these linear systems. In particular, we observe that every conic bundle on the rational surface induces a genus 1 fibration on the K3 surface and we classify the singular fibers of the genus 1 fibration on the K3 surface it terms of singular fibers and special curves on the conic bundle on the rational surface.     

Maximal rank and minimal generation of some parametric varieties

In this paper, continuing work of the second author (J. Pure Appl. Algebra 155 (2001) 77) for rational curves, we address the problem of computing the generators of the ideal of an irreducible parametric variety V to the computation of the generators of the ideal of a suitable finite set of points on V. In particular, we consider the case of general parametric surfaces and threefolds and of general parametric surfaces represented by polynomials with base points.

Polytopes,quasi-minuscule representations and rational surfaces

We describe the relation between quasi-minuscule representations, polytopes and Weyl group orbits in Picard lattices of rational surfaces. As an application, to each quasi-minuscule representation we attach a class of rational surfaces, and realize such a representation as an associated vector bundle of a principal bundle over these surfaces. Moreover, any quasi-minuscule representation can be defined by rational curves, or their disjoint unions in a rational surface, satisfying certain natural numerical conditions.     

Counting curves on rational surfaces

In [CH3], Caporaso and Harris derive recursive formulas counting nodal plane curves of degree d and geometric genus g in the plane (through the appropriate number of fixed general points). We rephrase their arguments in the language of maps, and extend them to other rational surfaces, and other specified intersections with a divisor. As applications, (i) we count irreducible curves on Hirzebruch surfaces in a fixed divisor class and of fixed geometric genus, (ii) we compute the higher-genus Gromov–Witten invariants of (or equivalently, counting curves of any genus and divisor class on) del Pezzo surfaces of degree at least 3. In the case of the cubic surface in (ii), we first use a result of Graber to enumeratively interpret higher-genus Gromov–Witten invariants of certain K-nef surfaces, and then apply this to a degeneration of a cubic surface.

Enumerative geometry of elliptic curves on toric surfaces

We establish the equality of classical and tropical curve counts for elliptic curves on toric surfaces with fixed j-invariant, refining results of Mikhalkin and Nishinou–Siebert. As an application, we determine a formula for such counts on P² and all Hirzebruch surfaces. This formula relates the count of elliptic curves with the number of rational curves on the surface satisfying a small number of tangency conditions with the toric boundary. Furthermore, the combinatorial tropical multiplicities of Kerber and Markwig for counts in P² are derived and explained algebro-geometrically, using Berkovich geometry and logarithmic Gromov–Witten theory. As a consequence, a new proof of Pandharipande’s formula for counts of elliptic curves in P² with fixed j-invariant is obtained.
