On the Łojasiewicz exponent of the gradient of a polynomial function

Andrzej Lenarcik (1999)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Let h = h α β X α Y β be a polynomial with complex coefficients. The Łojasiewicz exponent of the gradient of h at infinity is the least upper bound of the set of all real λ such that | g r a d h ( x , y ) | c | ( x , y ) | λ in a neighbourhood of infinity in ℂ², for c > 0. We estimate this quantity in terms of the Newton diagram of h. Equality is obtained in the nondegenerate case.

On the number of compatibly Frobenius split subvarieties, prime F -ideals, and log canonical centers

Karl Schwede, Kevin Tucker (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let X be a projective Frobenius split variety with a fixed Frobenius splitting θ . In this paper we give a sharp uniform bound on the number of subvarieties of X which are compatibly Frobenius split with θ . Similarly, we give a bound on the number of prime F -ideals of an F -finite F -pure local ring. Finally, we also give a bound on the number of log canonical centers of a log canonical pair. This final variant extends a special case of a result of Helmke.

On the value set of small families of polynomials over a finite field, II

Guillermo Matera, Mariana Pérez, Melina Privitelli (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

We obtain an estimate on the average cardinality (d,s,a) of the value set of any family of monic polynomials in q [ T ] of degree d for which s consecutive coefficients a = ( a d - 1 , . . . , a d - s ) are fixed. Our estimate asserts that ( d , s , a ) = μ d q + ( q 1 / 2 ) , where μ d : = r = 1 d ( ( - 1 ) r - 1 ) / ( r ! ) . We also prove that ( d , s , a ) = μ ² d q ² + ( q 3 / 2 ) , where ₂(d,s,a) is the average second moment of the value set cardinalities for any family of monic polynomials of q [ T ] of degree d with s consecutive coefficients fixed as above. Finally, we show that ( d , 0 ) = μ ² d q ² + ( q ) , where ₂(d,0) denotes the average second moment for all monic polynomials...
