Review text

Segre's classical theorem connects arcs and algebraic curves in \(\mathrm{PG}(2,q)\), \(q\) odd. The authors are interested in the information that can be extracted from this connection. The key case of \(\mathrm{PG}(2,13)\) is examined in detail, by studying the sextic curve associated to the unique complete \(12\)-arc. Is is proved that there is a bijection between \(12\)-arcs and their duals. The associated sextics to these duals have the optimal number of points, while the sextic associated to an arc has the property that the sum of the intersection numbers with an arbitrary line at rational points is at most \(4\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0985.00021].
