Abstract

For an ideal of a regular \cc\cc-algebra, its Bernstein-Sato polynomial is the monic polynomial of the lowest degree satisfying an Bernstein-Sato functional equation. We generalize the notion of Bernstein-Sato functional equations to the case of ideals in an FF-finite ring of positive characteristic pp, and show the relationship between these equations and Bernstein-Sato roots. By applying this theory, we provide an explicit description of Bernstein-Sato roots of a weighted homogeneous polynomial with an isolated singularity at the origin in characteristic pp. Moreover, we give multiplicative and additive Thom-Sebastiani properties for the set of Bernstein-Sato roots, which prove the characteristic pp analogue of Budur and Popa's question.
