Moduli of real pointed quartic curves

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We describe a natural open stratum in the moduli space of smooth real pointed quartic curves in the projective plane. This stratum consists of real isomorphism classes of pairs (C,p) with p a real point on the curve C such that the tangent line at p intersects the curve in two distinct points besides p. We will prove that this stratum consists of 20 connected components. Each of these components has a real toric structure defined by an involution in the Weyl group of type E7.
