Generalized nearby cycles via relative and logarithmic $\mathscr{D}$-modules
Abstract
For a regular map from a complex smooth affine variety to , we construct generalized nearby-cycle modules of a regular holonomic -module along log strata with the log structure induced by the graph of , whose relative supports are infinite unions of translated linear subvarieties of determined by the zero loci of Bernstein-Sato ideals along monoid ideals. For a fixed log stratum, the nearby-cycle module corresponds to the Sabbah specialization complex of DR under the relative regular Riemann-Hilbert correspondence of Fiorot-Fernandes-Sabbah, which generalizes the classical comparison theorem of Kashiwara-Malgrange for Deligne's nearby cycles. As an application, when , we give a topological interpretation of the zero loci of Bernstein-Sato ideals of along monoid ideals under the exponential map, which answers a question of Budur-Shi-Zuo.
