Let C be a complex algebraic curve in the projective space ℙ2. The purpose of this paper is to calculate the fundamental group G of the complement of C in the case when C = X ∩ H1 ∩ … ∩ Hn−2, whereand Hi are generic hyperplanes (i = 1, … n − 2).

The following paper arises from a remark in a recent paper by Professor Baker. In that paper he gives a simple rule, under which a rational surface has a multiple line, expressed in terms of the system of plane curves which represent the prime sections of the surface. The rule is that, if one system of representing curves is given by an equation of the formthe surface being given, in space (x0, x1,…, xr), by the equationsthen the surface contains the linecorresponding to the curve φ = 0; and if the curve φ = 0 has genus q, this line is of multiplicity q + 1.

If x0,x1, … xn are homogeneous coordinates in [n], projective space of n dimensions, the prime (to use the standard name for a hyperplane)osculates, as θ varies, the rational normal curve C whose parametric form is [2, p. 347]Take a set of n + 2 points on C for which θ = ηjζ where ζ is any complex number andso that the ηj, for 0 ≦ j < n + 2, are the (n + 2)th roots of unity. The n + 2 primes osculating C at these points bound an (n + 2)-hedron H which varies with η, and H is polar for all the quadrics(1.1)in the sense that the polar of any vertex, common to n of its n + 2 bounding primes, contains the opposite [n + 2] common to the residual pair.

AbstractLet ℙ denote the weighted projective space with weights (1, 1, 1, 3) over the rationals, with coordinates x, y, z and w; let $\mathcal{X}$ be the generic element of the family of surfaces in ℙ given by \begin{equation*} X\colon w^2=x^6+y^6+z^6+tx^2y^2z^2. \end{equation*} The surface $\mathcal{X}$ is a K3 surface over the function field ℚ(t). In this paper, we explicitly compute the geometric Picard lattice of $\mathcal{X}$, together with its Galois module structure, as well as derive more results on the arithmetic of $\mathcal{X}$ and other elements of the family X.

Let q be the finite field of q elements. Denote by Sr q the projective space of dimension r over q. In Sr,q, where r ≥ 2, a k-arc is defined (see [4]) as a set of k points such that no j + 2 lie in a Sj,q, for j = 1,2,…, r−1. (For a k-arc with k > r, this last condition holds for all j when it holds for j = r−1.) A rational curve Cn of order n in Sr,q, is the set

The paper studies a relation between fundamental group of the complement to a plane singular curve and the orbifold pencils containing it. The main tool is the use of Albanese varieties of cyclic covers ramified along such curves. Our results give sufficient conditions for a plane singular curve to belong to an orbifold pencil, that is, a pencil of plane curves with multiple fibers inducing a map onto an orbifold curve whose orbifold fundamental group is nontrivial. We construct an example of a cyclic cover of the projective plane which is an abelian surface isomorphic to the Jacobian of a curve of genus 2 illustrating the extent to which these conditions are necessary.

Simply Connected

The simplest type of Lie semigroups are closed convex cones in finite dimensional vector spaces. In general one defines a Lie semigroup to be a closed subsemigroup of a Lie group which is generated by one-parameter semigroups. If W is a closed convex cone in a vector space V, then W is convex and therefore simply connected. A similar statement for Lie semigroups is false in general. There exist generating Lie semigroups in simply connected Lie groups which are not simply connected (Example 1.15). To find criteria for cases when this is true, one has to consider the homomorphisminduced by the inclusion mapping i:S→G, where S is a generating Lie semigroup in the Lie group G. Our main results concern the description of the image and the kernel of this mapping. We show that the image is the fundamental group of the largest covering group of G, into which S lifts, and that the kernel is the fundamental group of the inverse image of 5 in the universal covering group G. To get these results we construct a universal covering semigroup S of S. If j: H(S): = S ∩ S-1 →S is the inclusion mapping of the unit group of S into S, then it turns out that the kernel of the induced mappingmay be identfied with the fundamental group of the unit group H(S)of S and that its image corresponds to the intersection H(S)0 ⋂π1(S), where π1(s) is identified with a central subgroup of S.

It was in a paper bearing this title that Cayley(1) first considered the problem of representing a curve in projective space of three dimensions by means of the complex of lines which meet the curve. He took the conic given by the equationsand found that the linewith dual Grassmann coordinates (…,pij,…), whereintersects the conic if, and only if,where F(u0, u1) is homogeneous and of degree 2 in both sets of indeterminates u0 and u1 and G(…,pij,…) is a form of degree 2 in the pij. Both F(u0, u1) and G(…,pij,…) are easily determined in this case.
