Notes on Projective, Contact, and Null Curves
@article{Bryant2019NotesOP, title={Notes on Projective, Contact, and Null Curves}, author={R. Bryant}, journal={arXiv: Algebraic Geometry}, year={2019} }
These are notes on some algebraic geometry of complex projective curves, together with an application to studying the contact curves in CP^3 and the null curves in the complex quadric Q^3 in CP^4, related by the well-known Klein correspondence. Most of this note consists of recounting the classical background. The main application is the explicit classification of rational null curves of low degree in Q^3.
I have recently received a number of requests for these notes, so I am posting them to… CONTINUE READING
