The Hessian discriminant

Tim Seynnaeve and Rodica Dinu

Abstract

We express the Hessian discriminant of a cubic surface in terms of fundamental invariants. This answers Question 15 from the 27 questions on the cubic surface. We also explain how to compute the fundamental invariants for smooth cubics of rank 6.
