On the intersection multiplicity of images under an etale morphism

Krzysztof Nowak (1998)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We present a formula for the intersection multiplicity of the images of two subvarieties under an etale morphism between smooth varieties over a field k. It is a generalization of Fulton's Example 8.2.5 from [3], where a strong additional assumption has been imposed. In a special case where the base field k is algebraically closed and a proper component of the intersection is a closed point, intersection multiplicity is an invariant of etale morphisms. This corresponds with analytic geometry where...

On the intrinsic geometry of a unit vector field

Yampolsky, Alexander L. Yampolsky, Alexander L. (2002)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We study the geometrical properties of a unit vector field on a Riemannian 2-manifold, considering the field as a local imbedding of the manifold into its tangent sphere bundle with the Sasaki metric. For the case of constant curvature K , we give a description of the totally geodesic unit vector fields for K = 0 and K = 1 and prove a non-existence result for K 0 , 1 . We also found a family ξ ω of vector fields on the hyperbolic 2-plane L 2 of curvature - c 2 which generate foliations on T 1 L 2 with leaves of constant intrinsic...

On the Jung method in positive characteristic

Olivier Piltant (2003)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let X ¯ be a germ of normal surface with local ring R ¯ covering a germ of regular surface X with local ring R of characteristic p > 0 . Given an extension of valuation rings W / V birationally dominating R ¯ / R , we study the existence of a new such pair of local rings R ¯ ' / R ' birationally dominating R ¯ / R , such that R ' is regular and R ¯ ' has only toric singularities. This is achieved when W / V is defectless or when [ W : V ] is equal to p

On the Łojasiewicz Exponent near the Fibre of a Polynomial

Grzegorz Skalski (2004)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

The equivalence of the definitions of the Łojasiewicz exponent introduced by Ha and by Chądzyński and Krasiński is proved. Moreover we show that if the above exponents are less than -1 then they are attained at a curve meromorphic at infinity.

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 mapping problem for algebraic real hypersurfaces in the complex spaces of different dimensions

Xiaojun Huang (1994)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

In this paper, we show that if M 1 and M 2 are algebraic real hypersurfaces in (possibly different) complex spaces of dimension at least two and if f is a holomorphic mapping defined near a neighborhood of M 1 so that f ( M 1 ) M 2 , then f is also algebraic. Our proof is based on a careful analysis on the invariant varieties and reduces to the consideration of many cases. After a slight modification, the argument is also used to prove a reflection principle, which allows our main result to be stated for mappings...
