Algebraic Geometry 2024-10-31 v4

Abstract

We show that if fOX(X)f\in \mathcal{O}_X(X) and gOY(Y)g\in \mathcal{O}_Y(Y) are nonzero regular functions on smooth complex algebraic varieties XX and YY, then the Bernstein-Sato polynomial of the product function fgOX×Y(X×Y)fg \in \mathcal{O}_{X\times Y}(X \times Y) is given by bfg(s)=bf(s)bg(s)b_{fg}(s)=b_f(s)b_g(s), answering a question of Budur and Popa.
