In arXiv:1411.5011 we proved that if $\\mathbb{K}$ is the field of complex or real numbers, then the set $S_f$ of points at which $f$ is not proper, is covered by polynomial curves of degree at most $d-1$. In this paper we generalize this result to positive characteristic. We provide a geometric proof of an upper bound by $d$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-06-12T22:07:39.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14R25", "14R99" ], "keywords": [ "positive characteristic case", "non-properness set", "quantitative properties", "generically finite polynomial map", "geometric proof" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
