Resultant multiplicity via projective degrees and applications to tensor eigenvalues
Given a system $\mathbf{f}=(f_1,\ldots,f_n)$ of $n$ homogeneous forms in $n$ variables of the same degree, Macaulay's resultant vanishes precisely when the polynomials have a common projective zero. Its order of vanishing measures the singularity of the resultant hypersurface at $\mathbf{f}$. In this paper, we study ho...
