Abstract

The zero locus of a bivariate polynomial P(x,y)=0P(x,y)=0 defines a compact Riemann surface Σ\Sigma. The fundamental second kind differential is a symmetric 111\otimes 1 form on Σ×Σ\Sigma\times \Sigma that has a double pole at coinciding points and no other pole. As its name indicates, this is one of the most important geometric objects on a Riemann surface. Here we give a rational expression in terms of combinatorics of the Newton's polygon of PP, involving only integer combinations of products of coefficients of PP. Since the expression uses only combinatorics, the coefficients are in the same field as the coefficients of PP.
