Abstract: Let f be a generic polynomial mapping mapping from the plane to the plane. There are constructed quadratic forms whose signatures determine the number of positive and negative cusps of f.


The paper studies the number of cusps in one-generic polynomial mappings \(f= (f_1, f_2): \mathbb R^2 \to \mathbb R^2\). One considers the determinants \(J, F_1, F_2, G_1, G_2\) of the Jacobians of \((f_1, f_2)\), of \((J, f_1)\), of \((J, f_2)\), of \((J, F_1)\), and of \((J, f_2)\), respectively. The authors characterize the property of being one-generic by the equality \(I' = \mathbb R[x,y]\) where \(I'\) is the ideal generated by \(J, F_1, F_2, G_1, G_2\). They define global quadratic forms on the algebra \(\mathbb R[x,y] /(J, F_1, F_2)\) in case this has finite dimension, and show that their signatures determine the number of positive and negative cusps. Computations are presented in examples by using SINGULAR.
