A Viro–Zvonilov-type inequality for Q-flexible curves of odd degree
Résumé
We define an analogue of the Arnold surface for odd degree flexible curves, and we use it to double branch cover Q-flexible embeddings, where Q-flexible is a condition to be added to the classical notion of a flexible curve. This allows us to obtain a Viro--Zvonilov-type inequality: an upper bound on the number of non-empty ovals of a curve of odd degree. We investigate our method for flexible curves in a quadric to derive a similar bound in two cases. We also digress around a possible definition of non-orientable flexible curves, for which our method still works and a similar inequality holds.
