The resultant formula for parametrized surfaces with non-local-complete-intersection base points
The resultant formula for parametrized surfaces with non-local-complete-intersection base points
Let be generated by of degree , with finite. Assume that is saturated and has the free resolution given by the complex referenced in the source. Let and denote the subschemes of defined by the and minors of , respectively. Let be the implicit equation of the parametrized surface, let be the degree of the parametrization, and for each let be the equation of the plane associated with . For the local ideal at , write for its multiplicity and for its degree.
The resultant formula. If and , then, up to a nonzero constant,
This conjectural formula describes the extraneous factors of the resultant arising from the points of , while the factor records the implicit surface with parametrization degree . The source does not provide evidence of a resolution, so the conjecture is treated as open.
