Asymptotically maximal families of hypersurfaces in toric varieties
A real algebraic variety is maximal (with respect to the Smith-Thom
inequality) if the sum of the Betti numbers (with coefficients)
of the real part of the variety is equal to the sum of Betti numbers of its
complex part. We prove that there exist polytopes that are not Newton polytopes
of any maximal hypersurface in the corresponding toric variety. On the other
hand we show that for any polytope there are families of hypersurfaces
with the Newton polytopes that are
asymptotically maximal when tends to infinity. We also show that
these results generalize to complete intersections.Comment: 18 pages, 1 figur
On total reality of meromorphic functions
We show that if a meromorphic function of degree at most four on a real
algebraic curve of an arbitrary genus has only real critical points then it is
conjugate to a real meromorphic function after a suitable projective
automorphism of the image.Comment: 13 page
A Non-Algebraic Patchwork
Itenberg and Shustin's pseudoholomorphic curve patchworking is in principle
more flexible than Viro's original algebraic one. It was natural to wonder if
the former method allows one to construct non-algebraic objects. In this paper
we construct the first examples of patchworked real pseudoholomorphic curves in
whose position with respect to the pencil of lines cannot be
realised by any homologous real algebraic curve.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figur
