Rational quintics in the real plane
Abstract
From a topological viewpoint, a rational curve in the real projective plane is generically a smoothly immersed circle and a finite collection of isolated points. We give an isotopy classification of generic rational quintics in RP2 in the spirit of Hilbert's 16th problem.
