    On quadratic progression sequences on smooth plane curves

    Full text link
    We study the arithmetic (geometric) progressions in the xx-coordinates of quadratic points on smooth projective planar curves defined over a number field kk. Unless the curve is hyperelliptic, we prove that these progressions must be finite. We, moreover, show that the arithmetic gonality of the curve determines the infinitude of these progressions in the set of k\overline{k}-points with field of definition of degree at most nn, n3n\ge 3

    A note on the stratification by automorphisms of smooth plane curves of genus 6

    In this note, we give a so-called representative classification for the strata by automorphism group of smooth kˉ\bar{k}-plane curves of genus 66, where kˉ\bar{k} is a fixed separable closure of a field kk of characteristic p=0p = 0 or p>13p > 13. We start with a classification already obtained by the first author and we use standard techniques. Interestingly, in the way to get these families for the different strata, we find two remarkable phenomenons that did not appear before. One is the existence of a non 00-dimensional final stratum of plane curves. At a first sight it may sound odd, but we will see that this is a normal situation for higher degrees and we will give a explanation for it. We explicitly describe representative families for all strata, except for the stratum with automorphism group Z/5Z\mathbb{Z}/5\mathbb{Z}. Here we find the second difference with the lower genus cases where the previous techniques do not fully work. Fortunately, we are still able to prove the existence of such family by applying a version of Luroth's theorem in dimension 22

    In this paper, we compute the 1-gap sequences of 1-Weierstrass points on non-hyperelliptic smooth projective curves of genus 10. Furthermore, the geometry of such points is classified as flexes, sextactic and tentactic points. Also, an upper bounds for their numbers are estimated.Comment: 12 page
