Castelnuovo curve 1970-01-01
The Castelnuovo curve is a specific type of algebraic curve that arises in algebraic geometry. More precisely, it is a smooth projective curve of genus 1, and it is defined as a complete intersection in a projective space \( \mathbb{P}^3 \). The term "Castelnuovo curve" is often associated with a general class of curves that can be embedded in projective space using certain embeddings, typically via a linear system of divisors.
Chasles–Cayley–Brill formula 1970-01-01
The Chasles–Cayley–Brill formula is a mathematical result in geometry that provides a way to express certain types of geometric transformations or configurations using the concepts of vector spaces and matrices. Specifically, this theorem is often considered in the context of projective geometry and linear algebra, relating to the positioning of points and lines in projective spaces.
Chiral Potts curve 1970-01-01
The Chiral Potts model is a mathematical model used in statistical mechanics, particularly in the study of phase transitions and critical phenomena. It is a generalization of the Potts model, which itself extends the Ising model, and it incorporates chirality, a property that distinguishes between left-handed and right-handed configurations.
Cissoid 1970-01-01
A **cissoid** is a type of curve that is defined in relation to a specific geometric construct. It is typically formed as the locus of points in a plane based on a particular relationship to a predefined curve, often involving circles or lines. The term "cissoid" is derived from the Greek word for "ivy," as some versions of these curves resemble the shape of ivy leaves.
Classical modular curve 1970-01-01
Classical modular curves are geometric objects that arise in the study of modular forms and elliptic curves in number theory. Simply put, they are Riemann surfaces or algebraic curves that parametrize elliptic curves endowed with additional structure, specifically involving modular forms. ### Key Features: 1. **Parameterized Elliptic Curves**: Modular curves classify elliptic curves over the complex numbers. They can often be described as quotients of the upper half-plane by the action of modular groups.
Conchoid of Dürer 1970-01-01
The Conchoid of Dürer is a mathematical curve that was first described by the German artist and mathematician Albrecht Dürer in the 16th century. The term "conchoid" typically refers to a class of curves defined by certain geometric properties and constructions. In particular, the Conchoid of Dürer can be constructed using a fixed point (a focus) and a distance, similar to how conic sections are defined.
Crunode 1970-01-01
As of my last knowledge update in October 2023, there isn't a specific widely-known entity or concept called "Crunode." It's possible that it could refer to a company, product, software, or concept that emerged after that date, or it might be a niche term not broadly recognized in the public domain.
Cusp (singularity) 1970-01-01
In a mathematical context, a **cusp** refers to a point on a curve where the curve has a sharp point or a singularity, which often results from the curve failing to be smooth at that location. In more detail: 1. **Geometry and Curves**: A cusp is typically associated with certain types of curves, such as the cusp of a cubic function or the cusps of a hypocycloid.
De Franchis theorem 1970-01-01
De Franchis's theorem is a result in complex analysis that pertains to the geometry of holomorphic (and meromorphic) functions. Specifically, it deals with the properties of holomorphic curves, especially in the context of a complex projective space.
Deltoid curve 1970-01-01
The Deltoid curve, also known as the deltoid or bodkin curve, is a type of Cartesian curve defined by a specific mathematical equation. It is generated by the intersection of a circle and a straight line segment. The curve has a distinctive three-pointed shape resembling a triangle with rounded edges.
Enriques–Babbage theorem 1970-01-01
The Enriques–Babbage theorem is a result in algebraic geometry concerning the classification of surfaces. Specifically, it relates to the structure of certain rational surfaces, particularly those that can be expressed in terms of their canonical divisors and the presence of particular types of curves on these surfaces. The theorem states that if \( S \) is a smooth minimal surface of general type, then there exists a relation pertaining to the canonical divisor \( K \) of the surface that can help classify it.
Epicycloid 1970-01-01
An epicycloid is a type of curve generated by tracing the path of a point on the circumference of a smaller circle (called the generating circle) as it rolls around the outside of a larger stationary circle (called the base circle). The resulting shape is a closed curve if the smaller circle rotates an integer number of times around the larger circle.
Fermat curve 1970-01-01
Generalized conic 1970-01-01
A generalized conic refers to a broader category of conic sections that includes not only the traditional conics we study in geometry (such as circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas) but also encompasses more generalized forms and properties of these shapes. In the context of algebraic geometry and projective geometry, the term "generalized conic" can imply conics that may not adhere strictly to the classical definitions or properties.
Genus–degree formula 1970-01-01
The genus-degree formula is a relationship in algebraic geometry that connects the topological properties of a projective algebraic curve to its algebraic characteristics. Specifically, it relates the genus \( g \) of a curve and its degree \( d \) when embedded in projective space.
Hilbert's twenty-first problem 1970-01-01
Hilbert's twenty-first problem is one of the open problems proposed by the mathematician David Hilbert in 1900 during the International Congress of Mathematicians in Paris. Specifically, the problem revolves around the foundations of mathematics and the nature of mathematical proof. The twenty-first problem can be stated as follows: **The problem seeks to establish a set of axioms for all of mathematics.
Hippopede 1970-01-01
The term "hippopede" does not appear to be widely recognized or defined in contemporary literature or common usage as of my last update in October 2023. It's possible that "hippopede" could refer to a variety of things, depending on the context, such as a misspelling, a specialized term in a niche field, or a fictional concept from a particular story or work.
Hodge bundle 1970-01-01
The Hodge bundle is a significant object in the study of algebraic geometry and the theory of Hodge structures. Specifically, the term "Hodge bundle" often refers to a certain vector bundle associated with a smooth projective variety or a complex algebraic variety, particularly when considering its cohomology.
Hyperelliptic curve 1970-01-01
A hyperelliptic curve is a type of algebraic curve that generalizes the properties of elliptic curves. Specifically, it is defined over a field (often the field of complex numbers, rational numbers, or finite fields) and can be described by a specific kind of equation.

Imaginary hyperelliptic curves are a type of algebraic curve that can be understood in the context of complex geometry and algebraic geometry.
