COMMENTS

For n>0 this is the same under substitution of variables as d(d-2)^2, the number of connected components in Bertrand et al.: "We construct a polynomial of degree d in two variables whose Hessian curve has (d-2)^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)^2 connected components."
