Summary

Symmetries of Algebraic Varieties in Two and Three Dimensions

This book explores the computation of the symmetries of algebraic varieties in two and three dimensions. Most of the attention goes to curves (both planar and spatial) and surfaces, either implicitly defined or defined by means of a rational parametrization. But other algebraic objects, like planar vector fields and finite sets of points, are also covered.

The book is primarily addressed to researchers and post-gr…

About The Author

Juan Gerardo Alcázar

Juan Gerardo Alcázar is Full Professor of Applied Mathematics in the Department of Physics and Mathematics of the Universidad de Alcalá (Alcalá de Henares, Madrid, Spain), where he got his Ph.D. in Mathematics in 2007. He has authored and co-authored more than fifty research papers on Computer Algebra and Constructive Algebraic Geometry, most of them related to the interplay between Symbolic Computation and the effective solution of geometric problems on algebraic varieties, mainly curves and surfaces. His most cherished research topics are the effective computation of the topology of algebraic curves and surfaces, offset varieties, detection of special types of curves and surfaces, and efficient checking of symmetries, affine and projective equivalences.
