Bernstein-Sato roots for monomial ideals in positive characteristic

Commutative Algebra 2019-11-15 v2 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

Following work of Musta\c{t}\u{a} and Bitoun we recently developed a notion of Bernstein-Sato roots for arbitrary ideals, which is a prime characteristic analogue for the roots of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial. Here we prove that for monomial ideals the roots of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial (over C\mathbb{C}) agree with the Bernstein-Sato roots of the mod-pp reductions of the ideal for pp large enough. We regard this as evidence that the characteristic-pp notion of Bernstein-Sato root is reasonable.
