Abstract

Title	Iterated discriminants
Keywords	discriminant, generic point, cylindrical algebraic decomposition, CAD, singularities of discriminant hypersurface
Abstract	It is shown that the discriminant of a discriminant has the same irreducible factors as the product of seven polynomials which are defined as the GCD of the generators of an elimination ideal. Under tame conditions of genericity, three of these polynomials are irreducible and generate the corresponding elimination ideal, while the four other are equal to one. Moreover the factors of two of these polynomials are factors of multiplicity at least two of the iterated discriminant and the factors of two others of the seven polynomials have multiplicity at least three. The proof involves an extended use of the notion of generic point of an algebraic variety and a careful study of the singularities of the hypersurface defined by a discriminant, which are interesting by them selves.
