Abstract:Given a complex multivariate polynomial p ∈ C[z 1 , . . . , z n ], the imaginary projection I(p) of p is defined as the projection of the variety V(p) onto its imaginary part. We give a full characterization of the imaginary projections of conic sections with complex coefficients, which generalizes a classification for the case of real conics. More precisely, given a bivariate complex polynomial p ∈ C[z 1 , z 2 ] of total degree two, we describe the number and the boundedness of the components in the complemen… Show more
