We construct a polynomial of degree d in two variables whose Hessian curve has (d − 2) connected components using Viro patchworking. In particular, this implies the existence of a smooth real algebraic surface of degree d in RP 3 whose parabolic curve is smooth and has d(d− 2) connected components. “Salut à toi Che Guevara”
