Decompositions of the higher order polars of plane branches

Algebraic Geometry 2019-10-02 v1

Abstract

\noindent In \cite{Casas} Casas-Alvero found decompositions of higher order polars of an irreducible plane curve generalizing the results of Merle. We improve his result giving a finer decomposition where we determine the topological type and the number of a kind of branches that we call {\em threshold semi-roots}.
