Abstract: Let f = 0 be a hypersurface in n-dimensional affine space over a field k. We consider the pencil of hypersurfaces f- c = 0 with c varying over k.

Review text

Most of the paper recalls classical theorems of Bertini and related properties of linear systems (mainly pencils) on normal varieties and the Zeuthen-Segre invariant of a nonsingular projective space. The authors stress the link of their method with famous and deep results of the first named author (Abhyankar's proof of the Galois proof of the Jacobian proof). Fix a field \(k\) and a hypersurface \(f=0\) in the \(n\)-dimensional affine space, \(n>1\). Set singset\((f):= \{c\in k:f-c\) is singular\(\}\) and redset\((f):= \{c\in k:f-c\) is reducible\(\}\). The authors give a short direct proof (not involving Bertini's two theorems) that, under suitable assumptions, these sets singset\((f)\) and redset\((f)\) are finite. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1018.00018].
