Courbes algébriques réelles dans les surfaces de del Pezzo réelles
Full text linkThe study of the topology of real algebraic varieties dates back to the work of Harnack, Klein and Hilbert in the 19th century; in particular, the isotopy type classification of real algebraic curves with a fixed degree in RP2 is a classical subject that has undergone considerable evolution. On the other hand, apart from studies concerning Hirzebruch surfaces and at most degree 3 surfaces in RP3, not much is known for more general ambient surfaces. In particular, this is because varieties constructed using the patchworking method are hypersurfaces of toric varieties. However, there are many other real algebraic surfaces. Among these are the real rational surfaces, and more particularly the R-minimal surfaces. In this thesis, we extend the study of the topological types realized by real algebraic curves to the real minimal del Pezzo surfaces of degree 1 and 2. Furthermore, we end the classification of separating and non-separating real algebraic curves of bidegree (5,5) in the quadric ellipsoid.L’étude topologique des variétés algébriques réelles remonte au moins aux travaux de Harnack, Klein, et Hilbert au 19éme siecle; en particulier, la classification des types d’isotopie réalisés par les courbes algébriques réelles d’un degré fixé dans RP2 est un sujet qui a connu un essor considérable jusqu'à aujourd'hui. En revanche, en dehors des études concernants les surfaces de Hirzebruch et les surfaces de degré au plus 3 dans RP3, à peu près rien n’est connu dans le cas de surfaces ambiantes plus générales. Cela est du en particulier au fait que les variétés construites en utilisant le "patchwork" sont des hypersurfaces de variétés toriques. Or, il existe de nombreuses autre surfaces algébriques réelles. Parmi celles-ci se trouvent les surfaces rationnelles réelles, et plus particulièrement les surfaces rèelles minimales. Dans cette thèse, on élargit l’étude des types d’isotopie réalisés par les courbes algébriques réelles aux surfaces réelles minimales de del Pezzo de degré 1 et 2.

Obstructions for the existence of separating morphisms and totally real pencils
Full text linkIt goes back to Ahlfors that a real algebraic curve admits a separating
morphism to the complex projective line if and only if the real part of the
curve disconnects its complex part, i.e. the curve is \textit{separating}. The
degree of such is bounded from below by the number of real connected
components of . The sharpness of this bound is not a priori
clear. We prove that real algebraic separating curves, embedded in some ambient
surface and with bounded in a certain way, do not admit separating
morphisms of lowest possible degree. Moreover, this result of non-existence can
be applied to show that certain real separating plane curves of degree , do
not admit totally real pencils of curves of degree such that .Comment: final versio
Real plane separating (M-2)-curves of degree d and totally real pencils of degree (d-3)
Full text linkIt is well known that a non-singular real plane projective curve of degree
five with five connected components is separating if and only if its ovals are
in non-convex position. In this article, this property is set into a different
context and generalised to all real plane separating (M-2)-curves.Comment: Comments are welcome
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Betti numbers of real semistable degenerations via real logarithmic geometry
Full text linkLet be a totally real semistable degeneration over a smooth
real curve with degenerate fiber . Assuming that the irreducible
components of are simple from a cohomological point of view, we give a
bound for the individual Betti numbers of a real smooth fiber near in terms
of the complex geometry of the degeneration. This generalizes previous work of
Renaudineau-Shaw, obtained via combinatorial techniques, for tropical
degenerations of hypersurfaces in smooth toric varieties. The main new
ingredient is the use of real logarithmic geometry, which allows to work with
not necessarily toric degenerations.Comment: 23 pages, 1 figure, comments are welcome
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Real algebraic curves on real minimal del Pezzo surfaces
No full textThe study of the topology of real algebraic varieties dates back to the work of Harnack, Klein and Hilbert in the 19th century; in particular, the isotopy type classification of real algebraic curves with a fixed degree in the real projective plane is a classical subject that has undergone considerable evolution. On the other hand, apart from studies concerning Hirzebruch surfaces and at most degree 3 surfaces in the real projective space, not much is known for more general ambient surfaces. In particular, this is because varieties constructed using the patchworking method are hypersurfaces of toric varieties. However, there are many other real algebraic surfaces. Among these are the real rational surfaces, and more particularly the real minimal rational surfaces. In this talk, we present some results about the classification of topological types realized by real algebraic curves of "small class" in real minimal del Pezzo surfaces which are real non-toric surfaces with non-connected real parts. We will explain how combine variations of classical methods with degeneration methods, that have found recent applications in real enumerative geometry, and the exploitation of Welschinger invariants to get through such classifications.Non UBCUnreviewedAuthor affiliation: Ecole PolytechniqueGraduat
