Newton polygons and families of polynomials (Q1434149): Difference between revisions

The paper under review considers a continuous family \((f_s)\), \(s\in[0,1]\) of complex polynomials in two variables with isolated singularities, that are Newton non-degenerate. Suppose that the Euler characteristic of a generic fiber is constant. The author first proves that the set of critical values at infinity depends continuously on \(s\), and second that the degree of the \(f_s\) is constant (up to an algebraic automorphism of \(C^2)\).
