Base points of polar curves

Eduardo Casas-Alvero (1991)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

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.

Bernstein classes

N. Roytwarf, Yosef Yomdin (1997)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

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 R . 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....

Characterization of jacobian Newton polygons of plane branches and new criteria of irreducibility

Evelia R. García Barroso, Janusz Gwoździewicz (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

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.

Computing limit linear series with infinitesimal methods

Laurent Evain (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

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...
