In this paper we describe the factorization of the higher order polars of a generic branch in its equisingularity class. We generalize the results of Casas-Alvero and Hefez-Hernandes-Hern\'andez to higher order polars.
This paper addresses a very classical topic that goes back at least to Pl\"ucker: how to understand a plane curve singularity using its polar curves. Here, we explicitly construct the singular points of a plane curve singularity directly…
In this paper we present the most complete description as possible of the factorization of the general polar of the general member of an equisingularity class of irreducible germs of complex plane curves. Our result will refine the rough…
In this paper we solve the problem of analytic classification of plane curves singularities with two branches by presenting their normal forms. This is accomplished by means of a new analytic invariant that relates vectors in the tangent…
We characterize the equisingularity classes of irreducible plane curve germs whose general members have a Newton nondegenerate general polar curve. In addition, we give explicit Zariski open sets of curves in such equisingularity classes…
Let ${\mathcal C}$ be a fixed equisingularity class of irreducible germs of complex analytic plane curves. We compute a basis of the ${\mathbb C}[[x]]$-module of K\"ahler differentials for generic $\Gamma \in {\mathcal C}$, algorithmically,…
Two plane analytic branches are topologically equivalent if and only if they have the same multiplicity sequence. We show that having same semigroup is equivalent to having same multiplicity sequence, we calculate the semigroup from a…
We consider various regular graphs defined on the set of elements of given rank of a finite polar space. It is likely that no two such graphs, of the same kind but defined for different ranks, can have the same degree. We shall prove this…
In this paper we give a solution to Zariski's problem of analytic classification of plane branches.
In this note we introduce higher order polar loci as natural generalizations of the classical polar loci, replacing the role of tangent spaces by that of higher order osculating spaces. The close connection between polar loci and dual…
Polar varieties have in recent years been used by Bank, Giusti, Heintz, Mbakop, and Pardo, and by Safey El Din and Schost, to find efficient procedures for determining points on all real components of a given non-singular algebraic variety.…
This paper is the first part of a two part paper which introduces the study of the Whitney Equisingularity of families of Symmetric determinantal singularities. This study reveals how to use the multiplicity of polar curves associated to a…
We recall the definition of classical polar varieties, as well as those of affine and projective reciprocal polar varieties. The latter are defined with respect to a non-degenerate quadric, which gives us a notion of orthogonality. In…
A polarity of a projective plane is a map, often assumed to be involutive, mapping a generic point to a generic line and reciprocally. The most classical polarity is the polarity with respect to a conic, but other exist: the harmonic…
We study, for plane complex branches of genus one, the topological type of its generic polar curve, as a function of the semigroup of values and the Zariski invariant of the branch. We improve some results given by Casas-Alvero in 2023,…
We perform the analytic classification of plane branches of multiplicity less or equal than four.
We generalize Jones' planar algebras by internalising the notion to a pivotal braided tensor category $\mathcal{C}$. To formulate the notion, the planar tangles are now equipped with additional `anchor lines' which connect the inner circles…
The aim of this paper is to generalize the hyperplane section theorem of Gurjar to arbitrary (local) analytic varieties even if the intersection with of hyperplanes is not necessarily isolated. In case of formal varieties, we generalize the…
We have developed in the past several algorithms with intrinsic complexity bounds for the problem of point finding in real algebraic varieties. Our aim here is to give a comprehensive presentation of the geometrical tools which are…
\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…
