The Euler discriminant of a family of very affine varieties is defined as the locus where the Euler characteristic drops. In this work, we study the Euler discriminant of families of complements of hyperplanes. We prove that the Euler…

The discriminant of a multivariate polynomial with indeterminate coefficients is not necessarily a hypersurface, and characterizing its codimension was an open problem for quite a while. We resolve this problem for the discriminants of…

Given a family of varieties, the Euler discriminant locus distinguishes points where Euler characteristic differs from its generic value. We introduce a hypergeometric system associated with a flat family of very affine locally complete…

In the space of square matrices, we characterize row-generated subspaces, on which the determinant is an irreducible polynomial. As a corollary, we characterize square systems of polynomial equations with indeterminate coefficients, whose…

The entropic discriminant is a non-negative polynomial associated to a matrix. It arises in contexts ranging from statistics and linear programming to singularity theory and algebraic geometry. It describes the complex branch locus of the…

Let $F(X,Y)=Y^d+a_1(X)Y^{d-1}+...+a_d(X)$ be a polynomial in $n+1$ variables $(X,Y)=(X_1,...,X_n,Y)$ with coefficients in an algebraically closed field K. Assuming that the discriminant $D(X)=\disc_Y F(X,Y)$ is nonzero we investigate the…

For a semialgebraic set K in R^n, let P_d(K) be the cone of polynomials in R^n of degrees at most d that are nonnegative on K. This paper studies the geometry of its boundary. When K=R^n and d is even, we show that its boundary lies on the…

In this paper, the discriminant of homogeneous polynomials is studied in two particular cases: a single homogeneous polynomial and a collection of n-1 homogeneous polynomials in n variables. In these two cases, the discriminant is defined…

The hyperdeterminant of a polynomial (interpreted as a symmetric tensor) factors into several irreducible factors with multiplicities. Using geometric techniques these factors are identified along with their degrees and their…

The Euler characteristic of a very affine variety encodes the number of critical points of the likelihood equation on this variety. In this paper, we study the Euler characteristic of the complement of a hypersurface arrangement with…

For a smooth hypersurface of even dimension, the quadratic character of the absolute Galois group defined by the determinant of the l-adic cohomology of middle dimension is computed via the square root of the discriminant of a defining…

We present a method to compute the Euler characteristic of an algebraic subset of $\bc^n$. This method relies on clasical tools such as Gr\"obner basis and primary decomposition. The existence of this method allows us to define a new…

For the family of polynomials in one variable $P:=x^n+a_1x^{n-1}+\cdots +a_n$ we ask the questions at which points its discriminant set can be considered as the graph of a function of all coefficients $a_j$ but one and how its subset of…

We study the Euler characteristic of a hypersurface in $(\mathbb{C}^*)^2 \times (\mathbb{C}^*)^n$ defined by a polynomial whose monomial support corresponds to lattice points in $\Delta_1 \times \Delta_1 \times \Delta_n$ as the coefficients…

Polynomial algebra offers a standard approach to handle several problems in geometric modeling. A key tool is the discriminant of a univariate polynomial, or of a well-constrained system of polynomial equations, which expresses the…

We first develop some criteria for a general divisor to be strongly Euler-homogeneous in terms of the Fitting ideals of certain modules. We also study new variants of Saito-holonomicity, generalizing Koszul-free type properties and…

This paper investigates the stratification of the discriminant hypersurface associated with a univariate polynomial via the number of its distinct complex roots. We introduce two novel approaches different from the one based on…

A (global) determinantal representation of hypersurface in P^n is a matrix, whose entries are linear forms in homogeneous coordinates and whose determinant defines the hypersurface. We study the properties of such representations for…

We will study algebraic hyper-surfaces on the real unit sphere $\mathcal S^{n-1}$ given by an homogeneous polynomial of degree d in n variables with the view point, rarely exploited, of Euclidian geometry using Bombieri's scalar product and…

Assume that the coefficients of a polynomial in a complex variable are Laurent polynomials in some complex parameters. The parameter space (a complex torus) splits into strata corresponding to different combinations of coincidence of the…
