Quasi-translations and singular Hessians. (English) Zbl 1396.14054

At the beginning of the paper, the author introduces quasi-transitions, singular Hessians and Jacobians concretely and proves that Hesse’s theorem is true if \(n\leq 4\) and for non-homogeneous cases, it is true for \(n\leq 2\). Thus, the author classifies all polynomials of dimension 2 and all homogeneous polynomials of dimension 3 and 4 with singular Hessian. Then the author introduces quasi-degree and gives a method to construct new quasi-translation from already existing ones. In Section 5, the author gives a way to construct a homogeneous quasi-translation in dimension \(n+1\) that related to a quasi-translation in dimension \(n\). Then he classifies all quasi-translations with Jacobian rank \(\leq 1\) and the irreducible homogeneous quasi-translations with Jacobian rank \(\leq 2\). As a consequence, the author classifies all quasi-translations with dimension \(\leq 3\) and all homogeneous quasi-transitions with dimension \(\leq 4\). Finally, the author poses three problems that related to quasi-translations and singular Hessians.
