Back in 2021, I led the PCMI Undergraduate Faculty Program (abbreviated and online — covid times). Just today, four of the participants posted a preprint that arose from that program characterizing which quadratic forms of small rank arise as 𝔸¹-Milnor numbers! arxiv.org/abs/2610.14506 🧮
arxiv.orgCharacterization of $\mathbb{A}^1$-Milnor numbers of small rankThe $\mathbb{A}^1$-Milnor number of a polynomial map is a quadratic enrichment of the classical Milnor number, defined as the local $\mathbb{A}^1$-Brouwer degree of the gradient. We study which elemen...
