A.20 Puiseux pairs

The Puiseux pairs of an irreducible and reduced curve singularity are its most important invariants. They can be computed from its Hamburger-Noether expansion. The library hnoether.lib written by Martin Lamm uses the algorithm of Antonio Campillo "Algebroid curves in positive characteristic" SLN 813, 1980. This algorithm has the advantage that it needs least possible field extensions and, moreover, works in any characteristic. This fact can be used to compute the invariants over a field of finite characteristic, say 32003, which will then most probably be the same in characteristic 0.

We compute the Hamburger-Noether expansion of a plane curve singularity given by a polynomial $f$ in two variables. This is a matrix which allows to compute the parametrization (up to a given order) and all numerical invariants like the

  • characteristic exponents,
  • Puiseux pairs (of a complex model),
  • degree of the conductor,
  • delta invariant,
  • generators of the semigroup.

Besides this, the library contains procedures to compute the Newton polygon of $f$ , the squarefree part of $f$ and a procedure to convert one set of invariants to another.
