Affine geometry of curves

In the mathematical field of differential geometry, the affine geometry of curves is the study of curves in an affine space, and specifically the properties of such curves which are invariant under the special affine group In the classical Euclidean geometry of curves, the fundamental tool is the Frenet–Serret frame. In affine geometry, the Frenet–Serret frame is no longer well-defined, but it is possible to define another canonical moving frame along a curve which plays a similar decisive role. The theory was developed in the early 20th century, largely from the efforts of Wilhelm Blaschke and Jean Favard. (Wikipedia).

Calculus and affine geometry of the magical parabola | Algebraic Calc and dCB curves 3 | Wild Egg

Algebraic Calculus naturally lives in affine geometry, not Euclidean geometry. Affine geometry is the geometry of parallelism, or (almost the same thing) --- the geometry of pure linear algebra. The parabola is characterized projectively in this geometry as the unique conic which is tangen

algebraic geometry 17 Affine and projective varieties

This lecture is part of an online algebraic geometry course, based on chapter I of "Algebraic geometry" by Hartshorne. It covers the relation between affine and projective varieties, with some examples such as a cubic curve and the twisted cubic.

The differential calculus for curves (II) | Differential Geometry 8 | NJ Wildberger

In this video we extend Lagrange's approach to the differential calculus to the case of algebraic curves. This means we can study tangent lines, tangent conics and so on to a general curve of the form p(x,y)=0; this includes the situation y=f(x) as a special case. It also allows us to deal

Geometric and algebraic aspects of space curves | Differential Geometry 20 | NJ Wildberger

A space curve has associated to it various interesting lines and planes at each point on it. The tangent vector determines a line, normal to that is the normal plane, while the span of adjacent normals (or equivalently the velocity and acceleration) is the osculating plane. In this lectur

11_6_1 Contours and Tangents to Contours Part 1

A contour is simply the intersection of the curve of a function and a plane or hyperplane at a specific level. The gradient of the original function is a vector perpendicular to the tangent of the contour at a point on the contour.

Riemann Roch: plane curves

This talk is about some properties of plane curves used in the Riemann-Roch theorem. We first show that every nonsingular curve is isomorphic to a resolution of a plane curve with no singularities worse than ordinary double points (nodes). We then calculate the genus of plane curves with o

Curvature for the general parabola | Differential Geometry 13 | NJ Wildberger

We now extend the discussion of curvature to a general parabola, not necessarily one of the form y=x^2. This involves first of all understanding that a parabola is defined projectively as a conic which is tangent to the line at infinity. We find the general projective 3x3 matrix for suc

Abstract: Some natural moduli problems, such as moduli of sheaves and moduli of singular curves, give rise to stacks with infinite stabilizers that are not known to be quotient stacks. The local structure theorem states that many stacks locally look like the quotient of a scheme by the act
