On the number of connected components of the parabolic curve

Benoit Bertrand, Erwan Brugallé

Published 2009-04-29Version 1

We construct a polynomial of degree d in two variables whose Hessian curve has (d-2)^2 connected components using Viro patchworking. In particular, this implies the existence of a smooth real algebraic surface of degree d in RP^3 whose parabolic curve is smooth and has d(d-2)^2 connected components.
