We give lower bounds for the degree of the discriminant with respect to y of separable polynomials f in K[x,y] over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Depending on the invariants involved in the lower bound, we give a…
An enumerative problem on a variety $V$ is usually solved by reduction to intersection theory in the cohomology of a compactification of $V$. However, if the problem is invariant under a "nice" group action on $V$ (so that $V$ is…
We study affine maps between affine manifolds. Even when the fibers are compact and diffeomorphic, two of them can inherit different affine structures from the source space. This leads to a fixed linear holonomy deformation theory of the…
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 consider minimal compactifications of the complex affine plane. Minimal compactifications of the affine plane with at most log canonical singularities are classified. Moreover, every minimal compactification of the affine plane with at…
Given an integral domain $A$, a monic polynomial $P$ of degree $n$ with coefficients in $A$ and a divisor $p$ of $n$, invertible in $A$, there is a unique monic polynomial $Q$ such that the degree of $P-Q^{p}$ is minimal for varying $Q$.…
For a line arrangement in the complex projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2$, we investigate the compactification $\overline{F}$ of the affine Milnor fiber in $\mathbb{P}^3$ and its minimal resolution $\widetilde{F}$. We compute the Chern numbers…
We shall consider minimal analytic compactifications of the affine plane with singularities. In previous work, Kojima and Takahashi proved that any minimal analytic compactification of the affine plane, which has at worse log canonical…
The condition of plane polynomial curve to be a line in well-known Abhyankar-Moh Theorem is replaced by weaker ones. A criterion of embedded line is obtained from this strong theorem: Two polynomials can generate the entire polynomial ring…
This paper has two objectives: we first generalize the theory of Abhyankar-Moh to quasi-ordinary polynomials, then we use the notion of approximate roots and that of generalized Newton polygons in order to prove the embedding conjecture for…
Using the theory of minimal models of quasi-projective surfaces we give a new proof of the theorem of Lin-Zaidenberg which says that every topologically contractible algebraic curve in the complex affine plane has equation $X^n=Y^m$ in some…
We give a topological model for a polynomial map from $\C^n$ to $\C$ in the neighborhood of a fiber with isolated singularities. This is motivated out of the ``unfolding of links'' described earlier by the first author and Lee Rudolph. The…
It has been proved several times in the literature that a polynomial map from $C^2$ to $C$ with irreducible rational fibers cannot be a component of a counterexample to the Jacobian Conjecture. This note points out that this result is…
In this article we give an expression of the motivic Milnor fiber at infinity and the motivic nearby cycles at infinity of a polynomial $f$ in two variables with coefficients in an algebraic closed field of characteristic zero. This…
We give an example of a function $f$ non-vanishing in the closed bidisk and the affine polynomial minimizing the norm of $1-pf$ in the Hardy space of the bidisk among all affine polynomials $p$. We show that this polynomial vanishes inside…
A theorem by Mumford implies that every automorphic line bundle on a pure open Shimura variety, equipped with an invariant smooth metric, can be uniquely extended as a line bundle on a toroidal compactification of the variety, in such a way…
Let $(P, Q)$ be a pair of Jacobian polynomials. We can show that $ <P, Q>+l+2g(P)-2= 0= <P, [P,Q]>$, where $<f, g>$ is the intersection number of $f, g\in \CC[x, y]$ in the affine plane, $l$ is the number of branch at point at infinity and…
In this paper, we contribute toward a classification of two-variable polynomials by classifying (up to an automorphism of $C^2$) polynomials whose Newton polygon is either a triangle or a line segment. Our classification has several…
The Abhyankar-Sathaye Problem asks whether any biregular embedding of affine spaces $A^m_k\to A^n_k$ can be rectified, that is, is equivalent to a linear embedding up to an automorphism of the target space. Here we study this problem for…
We give a simplified approach to the Abhyankar--Moh theory of approximate roots. Our considerations are based on properties of the intersection multiplicity of local curves.
