Relative enumerative invariants of real nodal del Pezzo surfaces

The surfaces considered are real, rational and have a unique smooth real $(-2)$-curve. Their canonical class $K$ is strictly negative on any other irreducible curve in the surface and $K^2>0$. For surfaces satisfying these assumptions, we suggest a certain signed count of real rational curves that belong to a given divisor class and are simply tangent to the $(-2)$-curve at each intersection point. We prove that this count provides a number which depends neither on the point constraints nor on deformation of the surface preserving the real structure and the $(-2)$-curve.

Welschinger invariants of real del Pezzo surfaces of degree $\ge2$

We compute the purely real Welschinger invariants, both original and modified, for all real del Pezzo surfaces of degree at least 2. We show that under some conditions, for such a surface $X$ and a real nef and big divisor class $D$, through any generic collection of $-DK_X-1$ real points lying on a connected component of the real part of $X$ one can trace a real rational curve $C\in|D|$. This is derived from the positivity of appropriate Welschinger invariants. We furthermore show that these invariants are asymptotically equivalent, in the logarithmic scale, to the corresponding genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants. Our approach consists in a conversion of Shoval-Shustin recursive formulas counting complex curves on the plane blown up at seven points and of Vakil's extension of the Abramovich-Bertram formula for Gromov-Witten nvariants into formulas computing real enumerative invariants.

Welschinger invariants revisited

We establish the enumerativity of (original and modified) Welschinger invariants for every real divisor on any real algebraic Del Pezzo surface and give an algebro-geometric proof of the invariance of that count both up to variation of the point constraints on a given surface and variation of the complex structure of the surface itself.

Qualitative aspects of counting real rational curves on real K3 surfaces

We study qualitative aspects of the Welschinger-like $\mathbb Z$-valued count of real rational curves on primitively polarized real $K3$ surfaces. In particular, we prove that with respect to the degree of the polarization, at logarithmic scale, the rate of growth of the number of such real rational curves is, up to a constant factor, the rate of growth of the number of complex rational curves. We indicate a few instances when the lower bound for the number of real rational curves provided by our count is sharp. In addition, we exhibit various congruences between real and complex counts.

Abundance of 3-planes on real projective hypersurfaces

We show that a generic real projective $n$-dimensional hypersurface of odd degree $d$, such that $4(n-2)=\binom{d+3}3$, contains "many" real 3-planes, namely, in the logarithmic scale their number has the same rate of growth, $d^3\log d$, as the number of complex 3-planes. This estimate is based on the interpretation of a suitable signed count of the 3-planes as the Euler number of an appropriate bundle.

Apparent contours of nonsingular real cubic surfaces

We give a complete deformation classification of real Zariski sextics, that is of generic apparent contours of nonsingular real cubic surfaces. As a by-product, we observe a certain "reversion" duality in the set of deformation classes of these sextics.

Welschinger invariants of real Del Pezzo surfaces of degree $\ge 3$

We give a recursive formula for purely real Welschinger invariants of real Del Pezzo surfaces of degree $K^2\ge 3$, where in the case of surfaces of degree $3$ with two real components we introduce a certain modification of Welschinger invariants and enumerate exclusively the curves traced on the non-orientable component. As an application, we prove the positivity of the invariants under consideration and their logarithmic asymptotic equivalence, as well as congruence modulo $4$, to genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants.

On numerically pluricanonical cyclic coverings

In this article, we investigate some properties of cyclic coverings of complex surfaces of general type branched along smooth curves that are numerically equivalent to a multiple of the canonical class. The main results concern coverings of surfaces of general type with p_g=0 and Miyaoka--Yau surfaces; in particular, they provide new examples of multicomponent moduli spaces of surfaces with given Chern numbers as well as new examples of surfaces that are not deformation equivalent to their complex conjugates.

On the number of components of a complete intersection of real quadrics

Our main results concern complete intersections of three real quadrics. We prove that the maximal number $B^0_2(N)$ of connected components that a regular complete intersection of three real quadrics in $\Bbb{P}^N$ can have differs at most by one from the maximal number of ovals of the submaximal depth $[(N-1)/2]$ of a real plane projective curve of degree $d=N+1$. As a consequence, we obtain a lower bound \smash{$\frac14 N^2+O(N)$} and an upper bound \smash{$\frac38 N^2+O(N)$} for $B^0_2(N)$.

Welschinger invariants of small non-toric Del Pezzo surfaces

We give a recursive formula for purely real Welschinger invariants of the following real Del Pezzo surfaces: the projective plane blown up at $q$ real and $s \leq 1$ pairs of conjugate imaginary points, where $q+2s\le 5$, and the real quadric blown up at $s \leq 1$ pairs of conjugate imaginary points and having non-empty real part. The formula is similar to Vakil's recursive formula for Gromov-Witten invariants of these surfaces and generalizes our recursive formula for purely real Welschinger invariants of real toric Del Pezzo surfaces. As a consequence, we prove the positivity of the Welschinger invariants under consideration and their logarithmic asymptotic equivalence to genus zero Gromov-Witten invariants.

On deformation types of real elliptic surfaces

We study real elliptic surfaces and trigonal curves (over a base of an arbitrary genus) and their equivariant deformations. We calculate the real Tate-Shafarevich group and reduce the deformation classification to the combinatorics of a real version of Grothendieck's {\it dessins d'enfants}. As a consequence, we obtain an explicit description of the deformation classes of $M$- and $(M-1)$- (i.e., maximal and submaximal in the sense of the Smith inequality) curves and surfaces.

Appendix to "Welschinger invariant and enumeration of real rational curves"

The invariance of the Welschinger numbers for real unnodal Del Pezzo surfaces, which we used for the enumeration of real rational curves on real toric Del Pezzo surfaces (see math.AG/0303378 and IMRN 49 (2003), 2639-2653), follows from J.-Y. Welschinger's theorem stated and proved in a symplectic setting (math.AG/0303145 and CRAS, Ser. I, 336 (2003), 341-344). Here, we give an algebraic geometry version of the proof of the above invariance.

Maximally inflected real rational curves

We introduce and begin the topological study of real rational plane curves, all of whose inflection points are real. The existence of such curves is a corollary of results in the real Schubert calculus, and their study has consequences for the important Shapiro and Shapiro conjecture in the real Schubert calculus. We establish restrictions on the number of real nodes of such curves and construct curves realizing the extreme numbers of real nodes. These constructions imply the existence of real solutions to some problems in the Schubert calculus. We conclude with a discussion of maximally inflected curves of low degree.
