Abstract

Let PP and QQ be two polynomials in two variables with coefficients in an algebraic closed field of characteristic zero. We consider the rational function f=P/Qf=P/Q. For an indeterminacy point x\text{x} of ff and a value cc, we compute the motivic Milnor fiber Sf,x,cS_{f,\text{x}, c} in terms of some motives associated to the faces of the Newton polygons appearing in the Newton algorithms of PcQP-cQ and QQ at x\text{x}, without any condition of non-degeneracy or convenience. In the complex setting, assuming for any (a,b)C2(a,b)\in \mathbb{C}^2 that x\text{x} is a smooth or an isolated critical point of aP+bQaP+bQ, and the curves P=0P=0 and Q=0Q=0 do not have common irreducible component, we prove that the topological bifurcation set Bf,xtop\mathscr{B}_{f,\text{x}}^{\text{top}} is equal to the motivic bifurcation set Bf,xmot\mathscr{B}_{f,\text{x}}^{\text{mot}} and they are computed from the Newton algorithm.
