Invariants, bitangents, and matrix representations of plane quartics with 3-cyclic automorphisms (Q2190815)

As the author says in the introduction of the paper, ``the study of the geometry of plane quartics is one of the most beautiful achievements in classical algebraic geometry''. Dixmier invariants of a plane quartic [\textit{J. Dixmier}, Adv. Math. 64, 279--304 (1987; Zbl 0668.14006)] are 7 algebraically independent invariants of degrees 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 27 that, together with 6 more invariants, generate the ring of invariants of the quartic [\textit{T. Shioda}, Am. J. Math. 89, 1022--1046 (1967; Zbl 0188.53304)]. On the other hand, a bitangent is a line that is tangent to a curve at two points. There are many studies on the existence and configurations of the 28 bitangents of a plane quartic. In this article, the author computes Dixmier invariants and bitangents of the plane quartics with 3, 6 or 9-cyclic automorphisms. The invariants are computed with Maxima and the algebraic conditions between the invariants with Macaulay2. He also finds that a quartic curve with 6-cyclic automorphism has 3 horizontal bitangents which form an asyzygetic triple (the six points determined by these three horizontal bitangents do not lie in a conic). Finally, the linear matrix representation problem for these quartics is discussed and a degree 6 equation of 1 variable solving the symbolic solution of the linear matrix representation problem for the curve with 6-cyclic automorphism is also given.
