Sum of two triangles in a projective plane modulo a conic
Given a conic $C$ in the complex projective plane, say $C=\{c:=x^2+y^2+z^2=0\}$, and two “triangles” (given as zeros of products of 3 linear forms $\ell=\{ax+by+cz\}$) $\ell_1\ell_2\ell_3$, $\ell'_1\...

Higher order inflection points
Consider a smooth plane curve $X\subset\mathbb{P}^2$ of degree $d$. We will say that $x\in X$ is an inflection point of order $s$ if the tangent line $T_xX$, of $X$ at $x\in X$, intersects $X$ in $x\...

Configuration of points on a plane curve
Let $C\subset\mathbb{P}^2$ be a smooth plane curve of degree six. On $C$ there are $21$ points given as the intersection points of two lines choosen among a set of seven lines. More precisely there ...

A problem of four conics
I found a remarkable theorem of four conics as follows some years ago. But it has no proof; I am looking for a proof:
Theorem: Take three conics. Suppose that each of them touch a fourth conic at two ...

Automorphisms of cartesian products of curves
Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve. Is it true that
$$\textrm{Aut}(C\times C)\cong S_2 \ltimes (\textrm{Aut}(C)\times \textrm{Aut}(C))$$
and in case, what would be a reference for this? Thanks.
