Real Plane Algebraic Curves

چکیده
We study real algebraic plane curves, at an elementary level, using as little algebra as possible. Both cases, affine and projective, are addressed. A real curve is infinite, finite or empty according to the fact that a minimal polynomial for the curve is indefinite, semi–definite nondefinite or definite. We present a discussion about isolated points. By means of the operator, these points can be easily identified for curves defined by minimal polynomials of order bigger than one. We also discuss the conditions that a curve must satisfy in order to have a minimal polynomial. Finally, we list the most relevant topological properties of affine and projective, complex and real plane algebraic curves. 1991 Math. Subject Class.: 14H50, 14P25

Symmetric Plane Curves of Degree 7 : Pseudoholomorphic and Algebraic Classifications
This paper is motivated by the real symplectic isotopy problem : does there exist a nonsingular real pseudoholomorphic curve not isotopic in the projective plane to any real algebraic curve of the same degree? Here, we focus our study on symmetric real curves on the projective plane. We give a classification of real schemes (resp. complex schemes) realizable by symmetric real curves of degree 7...
متن کاملCoamoebas of Complex Algebraic Plane Curves and the Logarithmic Gauss Map
The coamoeba of any complex algebraic plane curve V is its image in the real torus under the argument map. The area counted with multiplicity of the coamoeba of any algebraic curve in (C∗)2 is bounded in terms of the degree of the curve. We show in this Note that up to multiplication by a constant in (C∗)2, the complex algebraic plane curves whose coamoebas are of maximal area (counted with mul...
متن کاملPseudo-holomorphic and Algebraic Classifications
Almost all known restrictions on the topology of nonsingular real algebraic curves in the projective plane are also valid for a wider class of objects: real pseudo-holomorphic curves. It is still unknown if there exists a nonsingular real pseudo-holomorphic curve not isotopic in the projective plane to a real algebraic curve of the same degree. In this article, we focus our study on symmetric r...
متن کاملRokhlin’s Formula for Dividing T-Curves
A nonsingular real algebraic plane projective curve is called a dividing curve or a curve of type I if its real point set divides its complex point set. Rokhlin’s formula, which holds for such curves, is an important step in order to classify nonsingular real algebraic plane projective curves. It gives prohibitions on the complex orientations of a curve of type I and also on its real scheme. Th...
متن کاملVisualization of Points and Segments of Real Algebraic Plane Curves
This thesis presents an exact and complete approach for visualization of segments and points of real plane algebraic curves given in implicit form f(x, y) = 0. A curve segment is a distinct curve branch consisting of regular points only. Visualization of algebraic curves having self-intersection and isolated points constitutes the main challenge. Visualization of curve segments involves even mo...
