Algebraic curves | Conjectures

Nagata's conjecture on curves

In mathematics, the Nagata conjecture on curves, named after Masayoshi Nagata, governs the minimal degree required for a plane algebraic curve to pass through a collection of very general points with prescribed multiplicities. (Wikipedia).

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

What is the Riemann Hypothesis?

This video provides a basic introduction to the Riemann Hypothesis based on the the superb book 'Prime Obsession' by John Derbyshire. Along the way I look at convergent and divergent series, Euler's famous solution to the Basel problem, and the Riemann-Zeta function. Analytic continuation

Eric Riedl: A Grassmannian technique and the Kobayashi Conjecture

Abstract: An entire curve on a complex variety is a holomorphic map from the complex numbers to the variety. We discuss two well-known conjectures on entire curves on very general high-degree hypersurfaces X in ℙn: the Green-Griffiths-Lang Conjecture, which says that the entire curves lie

Hsueh-Yung Lin: On the existence of algebraic approximations of compact Kähler manifolds

Abstract: Let X be a compact Kähler manifold. The so-called Kodaira problem asks whether X has arbitrarily small deformations to some projective varieties. While Kodaira proved that such deformations always exist for surfaces. Starting from dimension 4, there are examples constructed by Vo

Weil conjectures 1 Introduction

This talk is the first of a series of talks on the Weil conejctures. We recall properties of the Riemann zeta function, and describe how Artin used these to motivate the definition of the zeta function of a curve over a finite field. We then describe Weil's generalization of this to varie

Ariyan Javanpeykar: Arithmetic and algebraic hyperbolicity

Abstract: The Green-Griffiths-Lang-Vojta conjectures relate the hyperbolicity of an algebraic variety to the finiteness of sets of “rational points”. For instance, it suggests a striking answer to the fundamental question “Why do some polynomial equations with integer coefficients have onl

This lecture discusses parametrization of curves. We start with the case of conics, going back to the ancient Greeks, and then move to more general algebraic curves, in particular Fermat's cubic, the Folium of Descartes and the Lemniscate of Bernoulli. We talk about the 17th century's fa

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
