We continue the work of Crouch and Silva Leite on the geometry of cubic polynomials on Riemannian manifolds. In particular, we generalize the theory of Jacobi fields and conjugate points and present necessary and sufficient optimality conditions.

It is shown that an absolutely irreducible homogeneous cubic polynomial f # Z[x 0 , x 1 , x 2 ] is also absolutely irreducible mod p if p>1248H 6 where H is the height of f. Modulo a general number theoretic conjecture an example shows that the result is best possible.
In 1959, Davis introduced the concept of a differentiator of an operator on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space. We prove that every such operator possesses a differentiator. We also use the theory of differentiators to solve several problems in the geometry of polynomials. For instance, we answer in
