Umbilical points of the graphs of homogeneous polynomials of degree 3 (Q2743899)

Let \(P^3_0\) be the set of the homogeneous polynomials of degree 3 such that on their graphs the origin \(o=(0,0,0) \in \mathbb{R}^3\) is isolated as an umbilical point. Denote \(P_0^{3,1/2}\), \(P_0^{3,-1/2}\) the sets of the elements of \(P^3_0\) having the index of 0 equal to \(1/2\), \(-1/2\), respectively.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThe main result of this paper is contained in Theorem 2.1 and it consists in a classification of all pairs \((h_1,h_2) \in S^{3,1}\times S^{3, 3}\), where \(S^{3,1}\) and \(S^{3,3}\) are some subsets of \(P_0^{3,1/2}\) and \(P_0^{3,-1/2}\), respectively. The theorem is connected to other results contained in the author's paper [Geom. Dedicata 82, 115-137 (2000; Zbl 0980.53005)].
