On logarithmic differential operators and equations in the plane

Abstract

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic zero. Let $f\in k[x_{0},y_{0}]$ be an irreducible polynomial. In this article, we study the space of polynomial partial differential equations of order one in the plane, which admit $f$ as a solution. We provide algebraic characterizations of the associated graded $k[x_{0},y_{0}]$-module (by degree) of this space. In particular, we show that it defines the general component of the tangent space of the curve $\{f=0\}$ and connect it to the $V$-filtration of the logarithmic differential operators of the plane along $\{f=0\}$.
