On real and p-adic Bezoutians

We study the quadratic form induced by the Bezoutian of two polynomials p and q, considering four problems. First, over R, in the separable case we count the number of configurations of real roots of p and q for which the Bezoutian has a fixed signature. Second, over Qp we develop a formula for the...
