Growth at infinity of a polynomial with a compact zero set
We show that every local polynomial diffeomorphism (f,g) of the real plane such that deg f ≤ 3, deg g ≤ 3 is a global diffeomorphism.
We give a simplified approach to the Abhyankar-Moh theory of approximate roots. Our considerations are based on properties of the intersection multiplicity of local curves.
For every polynomial F in two complex variables we define the Łojasiewicz exponents measuring the growth of the gradient ∇F on the branches centered at points p at infinity such that F approaches t along γ. We calculate the exponents in terms of the local invariants of singularities of the pencil of projective curves associated with F.
We construct a polynomial f:ℂ² → ℂ of degree 4k+2 with no critical points in ℂ² and with 2k critical values at infinity.
Some estimates of the Łojasiewicz gradient exponent at infinity near any fibre of a polynomial in two variables are given. An important point in the proofs is a new Charzyński-Kozłowski-Smale estimate of critical values of a polynomial in one variable.
In this paper we characterize, in two different ways, the Newton polygons which are jacobian Newton polygons of a plane branch. These characterizations give in particular combinatorial criteria of irreducibility for complex series in two variables and necessary conditions which a complex curve has to satisfy in order to be the discriminant of a complex plane branch.
