Algebraic curves defined over finite fields have long been a rich source of enquiry, bridging abstract algebra, geometry and number theory. Their automorphism groups, which consist of self-symmetries ...

The study of curve arrangements in the framework of algebraic geometry examines configurations of algebraic curves—ranging from lines to higher degree entities—in projective spaces, where intricate ...
