Resumen de On the Jacobian ideal of the binary discriminant

Carlos D'Andrea , Jaydeep V. Chipalkatti

• Let
  denote the discriminant of the generic binary dic.

  We show that for d  3, the Jacobian ideal of
  is perfect of height 2. Moreover we describe its SL2equivariant minimal resolution and the associated differential equations satisfied by
  . A similar result is proved for the resultant of two forms of orders d, e whenever d  e - 1. If n denotes the locus of binary forms with total root multiplicity  d-n, then we show that the ideal of n is also perfect, and we construct a covariant which characterizes this locus. We also explain the role of the Morley form in the determinantal formula for the resultant. This relies upon a calculation which is done in the appendix by A. Abdesselam.

  Keywords: Discriminant, resultant, Morley form, transvectant, evectant, classical invariant theory, HilbertBurch theorem.
