We prove that a reduced and irreducible algebraic surface in $\mathbb{CP}^{3}$ containing infinitely many twistor lines cannot have odd degree. Then, exploiting the theory of quaternionic slice regularity and the normalisation map of a surface, we give constructive existence results for even degrees.

Let [Formula: see text] be the subgroup of the group [Formula: see text] of holomorphic automorphisms of a normal affine algebraic surface [Formula: see text] generated by elements of flows associated with complete algebraic vector fields. Our main result is a classification of all normal affine algebraic surfaces [Formula: see text] quasi-homogeneous under [Formula: see text] in terms of the dual graphs of the boundaries [Formula: see text] of their SNC-completions [Formula: see text].

AbstractIn the present paper we focus on a weighted version of the Bounded Negativity Conjecture, which predicts that for every smooth projective surface in characteristic zero the self-intersection numbers of reduced and irreducible curves are bounded from below by a function depending on the intesection of curve with an arbitrary big and nef line bundle that is positive on the curve. We gather evidence for this conjecture by showing various bounds on the self-intersection number of curves in an algebraic surface. We focus our attention on blow-ups of algebraic surfaces, which have so far been neglected.

A complete linear system of curves on an algebraic surface may have assigned base points. The canonical system, from its definition, has no assigned base points at simple points of the surface. But we may construct surfaces on which, all the same, the canonical system has “accidental base points” at simple points of the surface. The classical example, due to Castelnuovo, is a quintic surface with two tacnodes. On this surface the canonical system is cut out by the planes passing through the two tacnodes. These planes also pass through the simple point in which the join of the two tacnodes meets the surface again. This point is the accidental base point of the canonical system on the quintic surface.

This chapter discusses complex algebraic surfaces, with particular emphasis on the Miyaoka-Yau inequality and the rough classification of surfaces. Every complex algebraic surface is birationally equivalent to a smooth surface containing no exceptional curves. The latter is known as a minimal surface. Two related birational invariants, the plurigenus and the Kodaira dimension, play an important role in distinguishing between complex surfaces. The chapter first provides an overview of the rough classification of (smooth complex connected compact algebraic) surfaces before presenting two approaches that, in dimension 2, give the Miyaoka-Yau inequality. The first, due to Miyaoka, uses algebraic geometry, whereas the second, due to Aubin and Yau, uses analysis and differential geometry. The chapter also explains why equality in the Miyaoka-Yau inequality characterizes surfaces of general type that are free quotients of the complex 2-ball.

AbstractLet $$f :X \rightarrow \mathbb {R}$$ f : X → R be a function defined on a nonsingular real algebraic set X of dimension at least 3. We prove that f is an analytic (resp. a Nash) function whenever the restriction $$f|_{S}$$ f | S is an analytic (resp. a Nash) function for every nonsingular algebraic surface $$S \subset X$$ S ⊂ X whose each connected component is homeomorphic to the unit 2-sphere. Furthermore, the surfaces S can be replaced by compact nonsingular algebraic curves in X, provided that dim$$X \ge 2$$ X ≥ 2 and f is of class $$\mathcal {C}^{\infty }$$ C ∞ .

Abstract As the various applications of Layered Manufacturing (LM) expand from just prototyping, the geometric accuracy issues become more prominent. Variable thickness, or adaptive, slicing aides in reducing a major source of geometric inaccuracy, the staircase effect. This paper develops a procedure for the adaptive slicing of a parametrizable algebraic surface to be manufactured by an LM process. An implemented example of the procedure is presented.

We will give a new proof of Ramanujam’s topological characterization of the affine [Formula: see text]-space [Formula: see text] using the Abhyankar–Moh–Suzuki theorem on embeddings of the affine line in [Formula: see text] and some ideas from the theory of open algebraic surfaces.

Let S be a normal projective algebraic surface over C with at worst quotient singularities. S is a quasi-log del Pezzo surface if the anti-canonical divisor — Ks is nef (= numerically effective) and big, i.e. — Ks. C ≥ 0 for all curves C on S and (−Ks)2 > 0. Further, if — Ks is ample we say S is a log del Pezzo surface.

We classify singular Enriques surfaces in characteristic two supporting a rank nine configuration of smooth rational curves. They come in one-dimensional families defined over the prime field, paralleling the situation in other characteristics, but featuring novel aspects. Contracting the given rational curves, one can derive algebraic surfaces with isolated ADE-singularities and trivial canonical bundle whose Q_l-cohomology equals that of a projective plane. Similar existence results are developed for classical Enriques surfaces. We also work out an application to integral models of Enriques surfaces (and K3 surfaces). Comment: 24 pages; v3: journal version, correcting 20 root types to 19 and ruling out the remaining type 4A_2+A_1 (in new section 11)

Alexander (1, 2) has introduced certain topological invariants of a manifold which arise from the intersections of cycles of non-complementary dimensions, and he points out that they are not derivable from the Betti and torsion numbers, nor from the fundamental group. In the present paper we consider some topological invariants of this type on an algebraic surface, and, although we cannot define them completely, we show that they are intimately connected with the multiplications of the period matrix of the simple integrals of the first kind. We are then led to a concept which we call the “intersection group” of the surface, which is, by its definition, topologically invariant, and we show that it is also invariant under birational transformations. The proofs are based on Lefschetz's theory of cycles for an algebraic surface (4) and some simple properties of the period matrix of an algebraic curve. The results obtained here have a number of applications to the theory of ∞3 correspondences between algebraic surfaces, as we propose to show in a later paper.
