Let $S\subset \mathbb{C}^n$ be a non-singular algebraic set and $f \colon \mathbb{C}^n \to \mathbb{C}$ be a polynomial function. It is well-known that the restriction $f|_S \colon S \to \mathbb{C}$ of $f$ on $S$ is a locally trivial…

Let g:X -> Y be a smooth (i.e. C^\infty differentiable) map between two smooth manifolds. In analogy with the case of complex polynomial functions, we say that y_0 in Y is a typical value of g if there exists an open neighbourhood U of y_0…

The problem of detecting the bifurcation set of polynomial mappings $\mathbb{ C}^m \to \mathbb{ C}^k$, $m\ge 2$, $m\ge k\ge 1$, has been solved in the case $m=2$, $k=1$ only. Its solution, which goes back to the 1970s, involves the…

Let $X\subset\Bbb C^n$ be an affine variety and $f:X\to\Bbb C^m$ be the restriction to $X$ of a polynomial map $\Bbb C^n\to\Bbb C^m$. In this paper, we construct an affine Whitney stratification of $X$. The set $K(f)$ of stratified…

In \cite{Valette}, Guillaume and Anna Valette associate singular varieties $V_F$ to a polynomial mapping $F: \C^n \to \C^n$. In the case $F: \C^2 \to \C^2$, if the set $K_0(F)$ of critical values of $F$ is empty, then $F$ is not proper if…

In this paper we use motivic integration and non-archimedean analytic geometry to study the singularities at infinity of the fibers of a polynomial map $f\colon \mathbb A^d_\mathbb C \to \mathbb A^1_\mathbb C$. We show that the motive…

We show the existence of polynomial maps which have a regular bifurcation value, while over a neighbourhood of this value the fibres are connected and diffeomorphic.

If $F$ is a set-valued mapping from $\R^n$ into $\R^m$ with closed graph, then $y\in \R^m$ is a critical value of $F$ if for some $x$ with $y\in F(x)$, $F$ is not metrically regular at $(x,y)$. We prove that the set of critical values of a…

We provide an algorithm to classify the asymptotic sets of the dominant polynomial mappings $F: \C^3 \to \C^3$ of degree 2, using the definition of the so-called "{\it fa\c{c}ons}" in \cite{Thuy}. We obtain a classification theorem for the…

Let $\mathbf{f} = \left(f_1, \dots, f_p\right) $ be a polynomial tuple in $\mathbb{Q}[z_1, \dots, z_n]$ and let $d = \max_{1 \leq i \leq p} \deg f_i$. We consider the problem of computing the set of asymptotic critical values of the…

Let $f:M^m\to N^n$ be a smooth map between two differential manifolds with $N$ connected, $f(M)$ closed and $f(M)\neq N$. In this short note, we show that either all the points of $M$ are critical points of $f$ or the dimension the…

We consider the monodromy at infinity and the monodromies around the bifurcation points of polynomial functions $f : \CC^n \longrightarrow \CC$ which are not tame and might have non-isolated singularities. Our description of their Jordan…

The profile vector of a family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of an $n$-element set is $(f_0,f_1, \ldots, f_n)$ where $f_i$ denotes the number of the $i$-element members of $\mathcal{F}$. In this paper we determine the extreme points of the set…

We present an effective method to investigate the asymptotic critical value set of a polynomial map. For this purpose we propose a method to construct rational curves with reduced number of terms present in its parametric representation. In…

Given any n-tuple of complex numbers, one can canonically define a polynomial of degree n+1 that has the entries of this n-tuple as its critical points. In 2002, Beardon, Carne, and Ng studied a map $\theta\colon \mathbb{C}^n\to…

We consider the average number of limit cycles that bifurcate from a randomly perturbed linear center where the perturbation consists of random (bivariate) polynomials with independent coefficients. This problem reduces, by way of classical…

Let $F\in\mathbb{Z}[x,y]$ and $m\ge2$ be an integer. A set $A\subset \mathbb{Z}$ is called an $(F,m)$-Diophantine set if $F(a,b)$ is a perfect $m$-power for any $a,b\in A$ where $a\ne b$. If $F$ is a bivariate polynomial for which there…

Let F=(F_1,...,F_n):C^n --> C^n be a polynomial mapping. By the multidegree of the mapping F we mean mdeg F=(deg F_1,...,deg F_n), an element of N^n. The aim of this paper is to study the following problem (especially for n=3): for which…

In the class of nonlinear one-parameter real maps we study those with bifurcation that exhibits period doubling cascade. The fixed points of such a map form a finite discrete real set with dimension (2^n)m, where m is the (odd) number of…

In this partly expository paper we discuss conditions for the global injectivity of $C^2$ semi-algebraic local diffeomorphisms $f:\mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^n$. In case $n > 2$, we consider the foliations of $\mathbb{R}^n$ defined by the…
