Plane polynomials and Hamiltonian vector fields determined by their singular points

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let Sigma(f) be critical points of a polynomial finmathbbK[x,y] in the plane mathbbK2, where mathbbK is mathbbR or mathbbC. Our goal is to study the critical point map mathfrakSd, by sending polynomials f of degree d to their critical points Sigma(f) . Very roughly speaking, a polynomial f is essentially determined when any other g sharing the critical points of f satisfies that f=lambdag; here both are polynomials of at most degree d, lambdainmathbbK∗. In order to describe the degree d essentially determined polynomials, a computation of the required number of isolated critical points delta(d) is provided. A dichotomy appears for the values of delta(d); depending on a certain parity the space of essentially determined polynomials is an open or closed Zariski set. We compute the map mathfrakS3, describing under what conditions a configuration of four points leads to a degree three essentially determined polynomial. Furthermore, we describe explicitly configurations supporting degree three non essential determined polynomials. The quotient space of essentially determined polynomials of degree three up to the action of the affine group hboxAff(mathbbK2) determines a singular surface over mathbbK.
