Abstract

In this article we give an expression of the motivic Milnor fiber at infinity and the motivic nearby cycles at infinity of a polynomial ff in two variables with coefficients in an algebraic closed field of characteristic zero. This expression is given in terms of some motives associated to the faces of the Newton polygons appearing in the Newton algorithm at infinity of ff without any condition of convenience or non degeneracy. In the complex setting, we compute the Euler characteristic of the generic fiber of ff in terms of the area of the surfaces associated to faces of the Newton polygons. Furthermore, if ff has isolated singularities, we compute similarly the classical invariants at infinity λc(f)\lambda_{c}(f) which measures the non equisingularity at infinity of the fibers of ff in P2\mathbb P^2, and we prove the equality between the topological and the motivic bifurcation sets and give an algorithm to compute them.
