Abstract

We show in this note that for a germ gg of holomorphic function with an isolated singularity at the origin of Cn\mathbb{C}^n there is a pole for the meromorphic extension of the distribution \begin{equation*} \frac{1}{\Gamma(\lambda)} \int_X | g |^{2\lambda}\bar{g}^{-n} \square \tag{*} \end{equation*} at nα- n - \alpha when α \alpha is the smallest root in its class modulo Z\mathbb{Z} of the reduce Bernstein-Sato polynomial of gg. This is rather unexpected result comes from the fact that the self-duality of the Brieskorn (a,b)-module EgE_g associated to gg exchanges the biggest simple pole sub-(a,b)-module of EgE_g with the saturation of EgE_g by b1ab^{-1}a. In the first part of this note, we prove that the biggest simple pole sub-(a,b)-module of the Briekorn (a,b)-module EE of gg is "geometric" in the sense that it depends only on the hypersurface germ {g=0}\{g = 0 \} at the origin in Cn\mathbb{C}^n and not on the precise choice of the reduced equation gg, as the poles of (*). By duality, we deduce the same property for the saturation E~\tilde{E} of EE. This duality gives also the relation between the "dual" Bernstein-Sato polynomial and the usual one, which is the key of the proof of the theorem.
