On the irreducibility of multivariate subresultants.

Abstract: Let

P_{1}, ..., P_{n}

be generic homogeneous polynomials in

n

variables of degrees

d_{1}, ..., d_{n}

respectively. We prove that if

u

is an integer satisfying

s u m_{i = 1}^{n} d_{i} - n + 1 - m i n d_{i} < u,

then all multivariate subresultants associated to the family

P_{1}, ..., P_{n}

in degree

u

are irreducible. We show that the lower bound is sharp. As a byproduct, we get a formula for computing the residual resultant of

smooth isolated points in

P P^{n - 1} .
