On the minimal compactification of a polynomial in two variables
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: Consider a primitive polynomial in two variables, thought of as a map from the affine plane to the affine line. We study the minimimal compactification of ; from our result one deduces in particular that if one of the fibers of has only one fiber at infinity, then all the fibers of have a simultaneous resolution of singularities at infinity. From this one gets a very simple proof of the Suzuki-Abhyankar-Moh theorem on the embeddings of the affine line in the plane.
