The author considers a parabolic polynomial \(F \in \mathbb{R} [t, x_2, \dots, x_n]\) of degree \(m\) \(({\partial F \over \partial t} = \Delta F)\). He proves that the number of components of the complement of the zeros of \(F\) is bounded by \(m^{n - 1} + O(m^{n - 2})\). The proof is based on the study of level hypersurfaces associated with parabolic polynomials and on the maximum principle for solutions of a parabolic equation. Several particular cases are discussed.
