Choosing roots of polynomials with symmetries smoothly

The roots of a smooth curve of hyperbolic polynomials may not in general be parameterized smoothly, even not $C^{1,\alpha}$ for any $\alpha > 0$. A sufficient condition for the existence of a smooth parameterization is that no two of the increasingly ordered continuous roots meet of infinite order. We give refined sufficient conditions for smooth solvability if the polynomials have certain symmetries. In general a $C^{3n}$ curve of hyperbolic polynomials of degree $n$ admits twice differentiable parameterizations of its roots. If the polynomials have certain symmetries we are able to weaken the assumptions in that statement.Comment: 19 pages, 2 figures, LaTe

Tensor fields and connections on holomorphic orbit spaces of finite groups

For a representation of a finite group $G$ on a complex vector space $V$ we determine when a holomorphic $\binom{p}{q}$-tensor field on the principle stratum of the orbit space $V/G$ can be lifted to a holomorphic $G$-invariant tensor field on $V$. This extends also to connections. As a consequence we determine those holomorphic diffeomorphisms on $V/G$ which can be lifted to orbit preserving holomorphic diffeomorphisms on $V$. This in turn is applied to characterize complex orbifolds.Comment: 15 pages, LaTeX, some arguments rearrange

Lifting smooth curves over invariants for representations of compact Lie groups, III

Any sufficiently often differentiable curve in the orbit space $V/G$ of a real finite-dimensional orthogonal representation $G \to O(V)$ of a finite group $G$ admits a differentiable lift into the representation space $V$ with locally bounded derivative. As a consequence any sufficiently often differentiable curve in the orbit space $V/G$ can be lifted twice differentiably. These results can be generalized to arbitrary polar representations. Finite reflection groups and finite rotation groups in dimensions two and three are discussed in detail.Comment: 19 pages, Late
