Towards the number of tritangents to a smooth plane sextic
Résumé :
After a brief introduction to the history of the subject and a few known results, I will motivate the conjecture that a smooth plane sextic curve has at most 72 tritangents (vs. the obvious bound of 108 tritangents) and outline a program that would hopefully lead us to a proof of this conjectural sharp bound.
