Base points of polar curves
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 41 (1991) no. 1, pp. 1-10.

The base points of the system of polar curves of an irreducible algebroid plane curve with general moduli are determined. As consequences a lower bound for the Tjurina number and many continuous analytic invariants of the curve are found.

On détermine les points-base du système des courbes polaires d’une courbe algébroïde plane irréductible à modules généraux. On en tire une borne inférieure pour le nombre de Tjurina et plusieurs invariants analytiques continus de la courbe.
