چکیده

Abstract. Let C be a non-hyperelliptic algebraic curve. It is known that its canonical image is the intersection of the quadrics that contain it, except when C is trigonal (that is, it has a linear system of degree 3 and dimension 1) or isomorphic to a plane quintic (genus 6). In this context, we present a method to decide whether a given algebraic curve is trigonal, and in the affirmative case to compute a map from C to the projective line whose fibers cut out the linear system.

Radical parametrization of algebraic curves and surfaces

Parametrization of algebraic curves and surfaces is a fundamental topic in CAGD (intersections; offsets and conchoids; etc.) There are many results on rational parametrization, in particular in the curve case, but the class of such objects is relatively small. If we allow root extraction, the class of parametrizable objetcs is greatly enlarged (for example, elliptic curves can be parametrized w...

Deciding Trigonality of Algebraic Curves (extended Abstract) 1 Classical Results on Trigonality

Let C be an algebraic curve of genus g ≥ 3. Let us assume that C is not hyperelliptic, so that it is isomorphic to its image by the canonical map φ : C → P. Enriques proved in [1] that φ(C) is the intersection of the quadrics that contain it, except when C is trigonal (that is, it has a g 3) or C is isomorphic to a plane quintic (g = 6). The proof was completed by Babbage [2], and later Petri p...

First steps towards radical parametrization of algebraic surfaces

We introduce the notion of radical parametrization of a surface, and we provide algorithms to compute such type of parametrizations for families of surfaces, like: Fermat surfaces, surfaces with a high multiplicity (at least the degree minus 4) singularity, all irreducible surfaces of degree at most 5, all irreducible singular surfaces of degree 6, and surfaces containing a pencil of low-genus ...

Scorza Quartics of Trigonal Spin Curves and Their Varieties of Power Sums

Our fundamental result is the construction of new subvarieties in the varieties of power sums for the Scorza quartic of any general pairs of trigonal curves and non-effective theta characteristics. This is a generalization of Mukai’s description of smooth prime Fano threefolds of genus twelve as the varieties of power sums for plane quartics. Among other applications, we give an affirmative ans...
