Title
Mixed Discriminants
Abstract
The mixed discriminant of \(n\) Laurent polynomials in \(n\) variables is the irreducible polynomial in the coefficients which vanishes whenever two of the roots coincide. The Cayley trick expresses the mixed discriminant as an \(A\)-discriminant. We show that the degree of the mixed discriminant is a piecewise linear function in the Plücker coordinates of a mixed Grassmannian. An explicit degree formula is given for the case of plane curves.
