Parameterizing Intersections of Time-Varying Quadrics

چکیده
This report addresses the problem of computing the parametrization of the intersection of deformable quadratic algebraic surfaces (quadrics) in projective space. It also presents an automatic method for describing the evolution in time of the topology of the intersection. The work is based on the results from [3, 4], which offer an exact parametrization of the intersection of two quadrics with rational coefficients of arbitrary size. This parametrization is rational when one exists, and its coefficients are almost as rational as possible [4].

Computing quadric surface intersections based on an analysis of plane cubic curves
Computing the intersection curve of two quadrics is a fundamental problem in computer graphics and solid modeling. We present an algebraic method for classifying and parameterizing the intersection curve of two quadric surfaces. The method is based on the observation that the intersection curve of two quadrics is birationally related to a plane cubic curve. In the method this plane cubic curve ...
متن کاملNear-optimal parameterization of the intersection of quadrics: III. Parameterizing singular intersections
We conclude, in this third part, the presentation of an algorithm for computing an exact and proper parameterization of the intersection of two quadrics. The coordinate functions of the parameterizations in projective space are polynomial, whenever it is possible. They are also near-optimal in the sense that the number of distinct square roots appearing in the coefficients of these functions is...
متن کاملOn families of quadratic surfaces having fixed intersections with two hyperplanes
In this paper we investigate families of quadrics that have fixed intersections with two given hyperplanes. The cases when the two hyperplanes are parallel and when they are nonparallel are discussed. We show that these families can be described with only one parameter. In particular we show how the quadrics are transformed as the parameter changes. This research was motivated by an application...
متن کاملRational Points on Singular Intersections of Quadrics
— Given an intersection of two quadrics X ⊂ Pm−1, with m > 9, the quantitative arithmetic of the set X(Q) is investigated under the assumption that the singular locus of X consists of a pair of conjugate singular points defined over Q(i).
متن کاملRational Points on Pencils of Conics and Quadrics with Many Degenerate Fibres
For any pencil of conics or higher-dimensional quadrics over Q, with all degenerate fibres defined over Q, we show that the Brauer–Manin obstruction controls weak approximation. The proof is based on the Hasse principle and weak approximation for some special intersections of quadrics over Q, which is a consequence of recent advances in additive combinatorics.
