The aim of this paper is to show that the quasihomogeneity of a quasihomogeneous germ with an isolated singularity uniquely extends to the base of its analytic miniversal deformation.

We obtain an estimate on the average cardinality (d,s,a) of the value set of any family of monic polynomials in ${}_q\left[T\right]$ of degree d for which s consecutive coefficients $a=(a_{d-1},...,a_{d-s})$ are fixed. Our estimate asserts that $(d,s,a)={\mu }_{d}q+\left(q^{1/2}\right)$, where ${\mu }_d:={\sum }_{r=1}^d\left({(-1)}^{r-1}\right)/(r!)$. We also prove that $₂(d,s,a)=\mu {²}_{d}q²+\left(q^{3/2}\right)$, where ₂(d,s,a) is the average second moment of the value set cardinalities for any family of monic polynomials of ${}_q\left[T\right]$ of degree d with s consecutive coefficients fixed as above. Finally, we show that $₂(d,0)=\mu {²}_{d}q²+\left(q\right)$, where ₂(d,0) denotes the average second moment for all monic polynomials...

We study the local behaviour of inflection points of families of plane curves in the projective plane. We develop normal forms and versal deformation concepts for holomorphic function germs $f:({ℂ}^2,0)⟶(ℂ,0)$ which take into account the inflection points of the fibres of $f$. We give a classification of such function- germs which is a projective analog of Arnold’s A,D,E classification. We compute the versal deformation with respect to inflections of Morse function-germs.

In the current paper we show that the dimension of a family $V$ of irreducible reduced curves in a given ample linear system on a toric surface $S$ over an algebraically closed field is bounded from above by $-K_S.C+p_g\left(C\right)-1$, where $C$ denotes a general curve in the family. This result generalizes a famous theorem of Zariski to the case of positive characteristic. We also explore new phenomena that occur in positive characteristic: We show that the equality $\mathrm{𝚍𝚒𝚖}\left(V\right)=-K_S.C+p_g\left(C\right)-1$ does not imply the nodality of $C$ even if $C$ belongs to the...

We describe the singularity of all but finitely-many germs in a pencil generated by two germs of plane curve sharing no tangent.

Nous montrons comment calculer des équations fonctionnelles du type de Bernstein associées à une fonction et aux sections du module de cohomologie locale algébrique à support une intersection complète quasi-homogène à singularité isolée.
