Computational aspects of the higher Nash blowup
  The higher Nash blowup of an algebraic variety replaces singular points with limits of certain spaces carrying higher-order data associated to the variety at non-singular points. In this note we will define a higher-order Jacobian matrix that will allow us to make explicit computations concerning the higher Nash blowup of hypersurfaces. Firstly, we will generalize a known method to compute the fiber of this modification. Secondly, we will give an explicit description of the ideal whose blowup gives the higher Nash blowup. As a consequence, we will deduce a higher-order version of Nobile's theorem for normal hypersurfaces.
