The base points of the system of polar curves of an irreducible algebroid plane curve with general moduli are determined. As consequences a lower bound for the Tjurina number and many continuous analytic invariants of the curve are found.
One of the classical Bernstein inequalities compares the maxima of a polynomial of a given degree on the interval [-1,1] and on the ellipse in the complex plane with the focuses -1, 1 and the semiaxes . We prove a similar inequality for a branch of an algebraic function of a given degree on the maximal disk of its regularity, with the explicitly given constant, depending on the degree only. In particular, this improves a recent inequality of Fefferman and Narasimhan and answers one of their questions....
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.
Alexander and Hirschowitz determined the Hilbert function of a generic union of fat points in a projective space when the number of fat points is much bigger than the greatest multiplicity of the fat points. Their method is based on a lemma which determines the limit of a linear system depending on fat points approaching a divisor.Other Hilbert functions were computed previously by Nagata. In connection with his counter-example to Hilbert’s fourteenth problem, Nagata determined the Hilbert function...
