Abstract In order to study projections of smooth curves, we introduce multifiltrations obtained by combining flags of osculating spaces. We classify all configurations of singularities occurring for a projection of a smooth curve embedded by a complete linear system away from a projective linear space of dimension at most two. In particular, we determine all configurations of singularities of non-degenerate degree $d$ rational curves in $\mathbb{P}^n$ when $d-n\leq 3$ and $d<2n$. Along the way, we describe the Schubert cycles giving rise to these projections. We also reprove a special case of the Castelnuovo bound using these multifiltrations: under the assumption $d<2n$, the arithmetic genus of any non-degenerate degree $d$ curve in $\mathbb{P}^n$ is at most $d-n$.

We prove that the gonality among the smooth curves in a complete linear system on a K3 surface is constant except for the Donagi–Morrison example. This was proved by Ciliberto and Pareschi under the additional condition that the linear system is ample. The constancy was originally conjectured by Harris and Mumford. As a consequence we prove that exceptional curves on K3 surfaces satisfy the Eisenbud–Lange–Martens–Schreyer conjecture and explicitly describe such curves. They turn out to be natural extensions of the Eisenbud–Lange–Martens–Schreyer examples of exceptional curves on K3 surfaces.

Special Case

We propose here a generalization of the problem addressed by the SHGH conjecture. The SHGH conjecture posits a solution to the question of how many conditions a general union$X$of fat points imposes on the complete linear system of curves in$\mathbb{P}^{2}$of fixed degree$d$, in terms of the occurrence of certain rational curves in the base locus of the linear subsystem defined by$X$. As a first step towards a new theory, we show that rational curves play a similar role in a special case of a generalized problem, which asks how many conditions are imposed by a general union of fat points on linear subsystems defined by imposed base points. Moreover, motivated by work of Di Gennaro, Ilardi and Vallès and of Faenzi and Vallès, we relate our results to the failure of a strong Lefschetz property, and we give a Lefschetz-like criterion for Terao’s conjecture on the freeness of line arrangements.

Abstract Let 𝑋 be a smooth and connected projective curve. Assume the existence of spanned 𝐿 ∈ Pic𝑎(𝑋), 𝑅 ∈ Pic𝑏(𝑋) such that ℎ0(𝑋, 𝐿) = ℎ0(𝑋, 𝑅) = 2 and the induced map ϕ 𝐿,𝑅 : 𝑋 → 𝐏1 × 𝐏1 is birational onto its image. Here we study the following question. What can be said about the morphisms β : 𝑋 → 𝐏𝑅 induced by a complete linear system |𝐿⊗𝑢⊗𝑅⊗𝑣| for some positive 𝑢, 𝑣? We study the homogeneous ideal and the minimal free resolution of the curve β(𝑋).

Broad Outline

The present paper is a sequel to a previous study (7) of the completely regular threefolds which possess anticanonical systems, i.e. for which the virtual canonical system, reversed in sign, is effective of positive order. On any such threefold the process of successive adjunction, applied to any linear system of surfaces, must terminate; we have thus to deal with a special case of the adjunction problem for the regular threefolds. By making certain simplifying hypotheses (such as irreducibility and absence of base elements) concerning the anticanonical systems, one can classify the threefolds in broad outline and show that, provided the anticanonical systems are sufficiently ample, the corresponding threefolds are either unirational or birational.

We introduce a novel technique for estimating measurement error in time courses and other continuous curves. This error estimate is used to reconstruct the original (error-free) curve. The measurement error of the data is initially assumed, and the data are smoothed with "Optimal Segments" such that the smooth curve misses the data points by an average amount consistent with the assumed measurement error. Thus the differences between the smooth curve and the data points (the residuals) are tentatively assumed to represent the measurement error. This assumption is checked by testing the residuals for randomness. If the residuals are nonrandom, it is concluded that they do not resemble measurement error, and a new measurement error is assumed. This process continues reiteratively until a satisfactory (i.e., random) group of residuals is obtained. In this case the corresponding smooth curve is taken to represent the original curve. Monte Carlo simulations of selected typical situations demonstrated that this new method ("OOPSEG") estimates measurement error accurately and consistently in 30- and 15-point time courses (r = 0.91 and 0.78, respectively). Moreover, smooth curves calculated by OOPSEG were shown to accurately recreate (predict) original, error-free curves for a wide range of measurement errors (2-20%). We suggest that the ability to calculate measurement error and reconstruct the error-free shape of data curves has wide applicability in data analysis and experimental design.

Motivated by registration problems, this paper deals with a curve matching problem in homogeneous spaces. Let G be a connected finite-dimensional bi-invariant Lie group and K a closed subgroup. A smooth curve g in G is said to be admissible if it can transform two smooth curves f 1 and f 2 in G / K from one to the other. An ( f 1 , f 2 )- relative geodesic (Holm et al. 2013 Proc. R. Soc. A 469 , 20130297. ( doi:10.1098/rspa.2013.0297 )) is defined as a critical point of the total energy E ( g ) as g varies in the set of all ( f 1 , f 2 )-admissible curves. We obtain the Euler–Lagrange equation, a first-order differential equation, satisfied by a relative geodesic. Furthermore, the Euler–Lagrange equation is simplified for the case where G / K is globally symmetric. As a concrete example, relative geodesics are found for special cases where G is SO(3) and K is SO(2). As an application of discrepancy for curves in S 2 , we construct and study a new measure of non-congruency for constant speed curves in Euclidean 3-space. Numerical examples are given to illustrate results.

Let ℒ be a very ample line bundle on ℳ, a projective manifold of dimension n ≥3. Under the assumption that Kℳ + (n-2) ℒ has Kodaira dimension n, we study the degree of the map ϕ associated to the complete linear system |2(KM + (n-2) L)|, where (M, L) is the first reduction of (ℳ, ℒ). In particular we show that under a number of conditions, e.g. n ≥ 5 or Kℳ + (n-3)ℒ having nonnegative Kodaira dimension, the degree of ϕ is one, i.e. ϕ is birational. We also show that under a mild condition on the linear system |KM + (n-2) L| satisfied for all known examples, ϕ is birational unless (ℳ, ℒ) is a three dimensional variety with very restricted invariants. Moreover there is an example with these invariants such that deg ϕ= 2.

AbstractWe prove that the space of smooth rational curves of degree $e$ on a general complete intersection of multidegree $(d_1, \ldots , d_m)$ in $\mathbb {P}^n$ is irreducible of the expected dimension if $\sum _{i=1}^m d_i \lt (2n+m+1)/3$ and $n$ is sufficiently large. This generalizes a result of Harris, Roth and Starr [Rational curves on hypersurfaces of low degree, J. Reine Angew. Math. 571 (2004), 73–106], and is achieved by proving that the space of conics passing through any point of a general complete intersection has constant dimension if $\sum _{i=1}^m d_i$ is small compared to $n$.
