Abstract: The problem of estimating the multiplicity of the zero of a polynomial when restricted to the trajectory of a non-singular polynomial vector field, at one or several points, has been considered by authors in several different fields. The two best (incomparable) estimates are due to Gabrielov and Nesterenko. In this paper we present a refinement of Gabrielov's method which simultaneously improves these two estimates. Moreover, we give a geometric description of the multiplicity function in terms certain naturally associated polar varieties, giving a topological explanation for an asymptotic phenomenon that was previously obtained by elimination theoretic methods in the works of Brownawell, Masser and Nesterenko. We also give estimates in terms of Newton polytopes, strongly generalizing the classical estimates.

Review text

The author considers the problem of estimating the multiplicity of the zero of a degree \(d\) polynomial on \(\mathbb{C}^n\) when restricted to the trajectory of a nonsingular degree \(\delta\) polynomial vector field, at one or several points. By refining \textit{A. Gabrielov}'s method [Math. Res. Lett. 2, No. 4, 437--451 (1995; Zbl 0845.32003)], the author improves simultaneously the estimates of \textit{Yu. V. Nesterenko} [in: New advances in transcendence theory, Proc. Symp., Durham/UK 1986, 263--269 (1988; Zbl 0656.10034)] (which is of order \(d^n\) and doubly-exponential in \(n\)) and of \textit{A. Gabrielov} [in: The Arnoldfest. Proceedings of a conference in honour of V. I. Arnold for his 60th birthday, Toronto, Canada, June 15--21, 1997. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society. 191--200 (1999; Zbl 0948.32010)] (which is simply exponential in \(n\), but of order \(d^{2n}\)). The author's result is \(n^n\) in \(n\) and of order \(d^n\).
