Názov: Recognizing an Algebraic Surface from its 2D Projection

Termín: 29.11.2018, 10:00 hod., M/116

Abstrakt:
An algebraic surface is given by its equation, the zero set of a polynomial in four homogeneous variables. Its picture under central projection is computed as the zero set of its discriminant: a plane algebraic curve. Can we recover the equation of an algebraic surface by its discriminant?

If the surface is nonsingular, then the answer is yes, by a result of d'Almeida. If we allow also "generic" singularities, then the there is sometimes a finite list of possibilities. This talk explains the reconstruction method and discusses the ambiguities in the singular case.
