The following paper arises from a remark in a recent paper by Professor Baker. In that paper he gives a simple rule, under which a rational surface has a multiple line, expressed in terms of the system of plane curves which represent the prime sections of the surface. The rule is that, if one system of representing curves is given by an equation of the formthe surface being given, in space (x0, x1,…, xr), by the equationsthen the surface contains the linecorresponding to the curve φ = 0; and if the curve φ = 0 has genus q, this line is of multiplicity q + 1.

It is well known that the Plücker coordinates of a straight line in ordinary space satisfy a quadratic identitywhich may also be considered as the equation of a point-quadric in five dimensions, if the six coordinates Pij are treated as six homogeneous coordinates of a point. Projective properties of line geometry may therefore be treated as projective properties of point geometry in five dimensions. This suggests that certain algebraic theories of quaternary forms (corresponding to the geometry of ordinary space) can best be treated as algebraic theories of senary forms: that is, forms in six homogeneous variables.

Let R = k[X1, …, Xn] with k a field, and let I ⊂ R be a homogeneous ideal. The algebra R/I is said to have a pure resolution if its homogeneous minimal resolution has the formSome of the known examples of pure resolutions include the coordinate rings of: the tangent cone of a minimally elliptic singularity or a rational surface singularity [15], a variety defined by generic maximal Pfaffians [2], a variety defined by maximal minors of a generic matrix [3], a variety defined by the submaximal minors of a generic square matrix [6], and certain of the Segre-Veronese varieties [1].If I is in addition Cohen-Macaulay, then Herzog and Kühl have shown that the betti numbers bi are completely determined by the twists di.

The prominent role of cascading outages in recent blackouts has created a need in security applications for evaluating line outage distribution factors (LODFs) under the multiple-line outages. Two fast algorithms of LODFs with multiple-line outages are proposed in this paper. In the first method, the double-line outage LODFs are expressed in terms of single-line outage LODFs, and it can be extended to N-k (k≥2) contingencies without any complex matrix operation through the recursive theory. In the second method, a computationally efficient expression of LODFs based on power transfer distribution factors (PTDFs) in pre-contingency network is presented. Numerical simulations are carried out on IEEE 14 and 118-bus test systems. The results show that both methods can effectively improve the computation speed of multiple-line outage LODFs.

In the Quarterly Journal, No. 162, 1910, Professor A. R. Forsyth considered some of the problems arising from a homographic transformation of plane curves whose equations could be written in the formwhere F is a rational integral function of z and z′, and where z = x + iy, z′ = x − iy determine the rectangular Cartesian coordinates of the plane. It was suggested that the theory could be developed algebraically by using the symbolic methods of the German school which proved so powerful in furthering the theory of binary forms.

Let L be a very ample line bundle on a smooth, connected, projective, ruled not rational surface X. We have considered the problem of classifying biholomorphically smooth, connected, projected, ruled, non rational surfaces X with smooth hyperplane section C such that the genus g = g(C) is less than or equal to six and dim where is the map associated to . L. Roth in [10] had given a birational classification of such surfaces. If g = 0 or 1 then X has been classified, see [8].If g = 2 ≠ hl,0(X) by [12, Lemma (2.2.2) ] it follows that X is a rational surface. Thus we can assume g ≦ 3.Since X is ruled, h2,0(X) = 0 andsee [4] and [12, p. 390].

Let C be a complex algebraic curve in the projective space ℙ2. The purpose of this paper is to calculate the fundamental group G of the complement of C in the case when C = X ∩ H1 ∩ … ∩ Hn−2, whereand Hi are generic hyperplanes (i = 1, … n − 2).

1. Let V be a non-singular rational surface defined over an algebraic number field k. There is a standard conjecture that the only obstructions to the Hasse principle and to weak approximation on V are the Brauer–Manin obstructions. A prerequisite for calculating these is a knowledge of the Brauer group of V; indeed there is one such obstruction, which may however be trivial, corresponding to each element of Br V/Br k. Because k is an algebraic number field, the natural injectionis an isomorphism; so the first step in calculating the Brauer–Manin obstruction is to calculate the finite group H1 (k), Pic .

While tracing the lines of motion and the meridian sections of their orthogonal surfaces for an infinite mass of perfect fluid disturbed by a moving sphere :—the question occurred to me “When are such systems similar?” In the problem alluded to, the equations of the curves are, respectively,It was at once obvious that any sets of curves such asare orthogonals. But they form similar systems only whenHence the only sets of similar orthogonal curves, having equations of the above form, are (a) groups of parallel lines and (b) their electric images (circles touching each other at one point).

AbstractIn this paper we consider the birational classification of pairs (S, ℒ), withSa rational surface andℒa linear system onS. We give a classification theorem for such pairs, and we determine, for each irreducible plane curveB, itsCremona minimalmodels, that is, those plane curves which are equivalent toBvia a Cremona transformation and have minimal degree under this condition.
