A group law on smooth real quartics having at least 3 real branches (Q1396445)

By an author's theorem [\textit{J. Huisman}, Indag. Math., New Ser. 12, 73-81 (2001; Zbl 1014.14027)], the real part of the neutral component of the Jacobian of a real algebraic curve of genus \(g\), having at least \(g\) real branches, is group isomorphic to the product of any \(g\) real branches of the curve. In the present note the author gives an explicit geometric description of this group law for real plane quartics with at least \(3\) real branches via intersections of the given quartic with real plane cubics. A similar description for real hyperelliptic curves is done by \textit{G. Fichou} [J. Pure Appl. Algebra 181, 53-60 (2003; Zbl 1057.14070)].
