      Equimultiple locus of embedded algebroid surfaces and blowing-up in characteristic zero 

      Piedra Sánchez, Ramón; Tornero Sánchez, José María (Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 2004)
      The smooth equimultiple locus of embedded algebroid surfaces appears naturally in many resolution process, both classical and modern.In this paper we explore how it changes by blowing–up.

      On the singular braid monoid of an orientable surface 

      Díaz Cantos, Jerónimo; González-Meneses López, Juan; Tornero Sánchez, José María (American Mathematical Society, 2004)
      In this paper we show that the singular braid monoid of an orientable surface can be embedded in a group. The proof is purely topological, making no use of the monoid presentation.

      On the ubiquity of trivial torsion on elliptic curves 

      González Jiménez, Enrique; Tornero Sánchez, José María (Springer, 2010-08)
      The purpose of this paper is to give a down-to-earth proof of the well–known fact that a randomly chosen elliptic curve over the rationals is most likely to have trivial torsion.

      Searching for simultaneous arithmetic progressions on elliptic curves 

      García Selfa, Irene; Tornero Sánchez, José María (Australian Mathematical Society, 2005-06)
      We look for elliptic curves featuring rational points whose coordinates form two arithmetic progressions, one for each coordinate. A constructive method for creating such curves is shown, for lengths up to 5.
