Streszczenie
For any two integers $k,n$, $2\leq k\leq n$, let $f:(\mathbb {C}^*)^n\rightarrow \mathbb {C}^k$ be a generic polynomial map with a given Newton polytope. It is known that the points whose fiber under $f$ has codimension 1 form a finite set $C_1(f)$ in $\mathbb {C}^k$. We show that $C_1(f)$ is empty if $k\geq 3$, we classify all Newton polytopes contributing to $C_1(f)\neq \emptyset $ for $k=2$, and we compute $|C_1(f)|$.
