Milnor fibration at infinity for mixed polynomials

We study the existence of Milnor fibration on a big enough sphere at infinity for a mixed polynomial f: ?²ⁿ → ?². By using strongly non-degenerate condition, we prove a counterpart of Némethi and Zaharia’s fibration theorem. In particular, we obtain a global version of Oka’s fibration theorem for strongly non-degenerate and convenient mixed polynomials.     

On the stability of gradient polynomial systems at infinity

We first define the notion of the infimum at infinity of a polynomial function and the notion of stability at infinity near the fiber of the gradient descent system. Then we prove that the gradient descent system is stable at infinity near the fiber of the infimum value at infinity.     

Developable varieties with all singularities at infinity

A projective variety is called developable if the image of its Gauss map has a smaller dimension than the variety itself. Developable varieties are always singular, and requiring that all singularities lie in a hyperplane puts a severe restriction on them. Here we refine a theorem of Wu and Zheng stating that such varieties are the union of cones if the dimension of the Gauss image is less than or equal to four. Afterwards we study their singular locus. Finally, we describe the geometry of such varieties whose Gauss image has dimension two.

On analytic equivalence of functions at infinity

In this paper we define the relation of analytic equivalence of functions at infinity. We prove that if the ?ojasiewicz exponent at infinity of the gradient of a polynomial f∈R[x₁,…,xn] is greater or equal to k−1, then there exists ε>0 such that for every polynomial P∈R[x₁,…,xn] of degree less or equal to k, whose coefficients of monomials of degree k are less or equal ε, the polynomials f and f+P are analytically equivalent at infinity.     

Maximal plurisubharmonic functions and the polynomial hull of a completely circled fibration

LetX(-ϱB ^m ×C ⁿ be a compact set over the unit sphere ϱB ^m such that for eachz∈ϱB ^m the fiberX _z ={ω∈C ⁿ ;(z, ω)∈X} is the closure of a completely circled pseudoconvex domain inC ⁿ . The polynomial hull ofX is described in terms of the Perron-Bremermann function for the homogeneous defining function ofX. Moreover, for each point (z ₀,w ₀)∈Int there exists a smooth up to the boundary analytic discF:Δ→B ^m ×C ⁿ with the boundary inX such thatF(0)=(z ₀,w ₀). This work was supported in part by a grant from the Ministry of Science of the Republic of Slovenia.     

Quadratic vector fields in ℂP2 with solvable monodromy group at infinity

Quadratic vector fields for which the line at infinity is a phase curve with three different singular points are considered. It is assumed that the characteristic numbers of these singular points are not multiples of 1/4 or 1/6. It is shown that among the fields with fixed characteristic numbers satisfying this assumption, one can choose seven fields such that any other field with solvable noncommutative monodromy group at infinity is affine equivalent to one of the chosen fields. In addition, quadratic vector fields with commutative monodromy group at infinity are described.

Zeta-function of the monodromy for complete intersection singularities

The results of A. N. Varchenko regarding the zeta-function of the monodromy operator for a singular point of a hypersurface are generalized to the case of a complete intersection singularity.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.
