We study the Du Bois complex $\underline{\Omega}_Z^\bullet$ of a hypersurface $Z$ in a smooth complex algebraic variety in terms its minimal exponent $\widetilde{\alpha}(Z)$. The latter is an invariant of singularities, defined as the…
We study a set of topological roots of the local Bernstein-Sato polynomial of arbitrary plane curve singularities. These roots are characterized in terms of certain divisorial valuations and the numerical data of the minimal log resolution.…
Given a smooth complex algebraic variety $X$ and a nonzero regular function $f$ on $X$, we give an effective estimate for the difference between the jumping numbers of $f$ and the $F$-jumping numbers of a reduction $f_p$ of $f$ to…
The Positivstellens\"atze of Putinar and Schm\"udgen show that any polynomial $f$ positive on a compact semialgebraic set can be represented using sums of squares. Recently, there has been large interest in proving effective versions of…
We provide explicit formulae for the coefficients of the order-d polynomial subresultant of (x-\alpha)^m and (x-\beta)^n with respect to the set of Bernstein polynomials \{(x-\alpha)^j(x-\beta)^{d-j}, \, 0\le j\le d\}. They are given by…
In a previous paper, the authors defined an equivariant version of the so-called Saito duality between the monodromy zeta functions as a sort of Fourier transform between the Burnside rings of an abelian group and of its group of…
Unlike the classical polynomial case there has not been invented up to very recently a tool similar to the Bernstein-Bezier representation which would allow us to control the behavior of the exponential polynomials. The exponential analog…
Given a hypersurface defined by $f$ in a smooth complex algebraic variety $X$, and a point $P$ on this hypersurface, we consider the invariant $\beta_P(f)$ given by the log canonical threshold at $P$ of ${\mathfrak m}_P\cdot J_f$, where…
We show that each member of a doubly infinite sequence of highly nonlinear expressions of Bernoulli polynomials, which can be seen as linear combinations of certain higher-order convolutions, is a multiple of a specific product of linear…
For a holomorphic function $f$ on a complex manifold $X$, the Brian\c{c}on-Skoda exponent $e^{\rm BS}(f)$ is the smallest integer $k$ with $f^k\in(\partial f)$ (replacing $X$ with a neighborhood of $f^{-1}(0)$), where $(\partial f)$ denotes…
What polynomial in the coefficients of a system of algebraic equations should be called its discriminant? We prove a package of facts that provide a possible answer. Let us call a system typical, if the homeomorphic type of its set of…
In this paper we compute b-functions (or Bernstein-Sato polynomials) of various semi-invariants of quivers. The main tool is an explicit relation for the b-functions between semi-invariants that correspond to each other under reflection…
Let $f_1$ and $f_2$ be two semi-universal deformations of quasi homogeneous polynomials in two variables respectively for the weight vectors $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ such that they satisfy similar conditions to that of semi quasi homogeneous…
The $F$-signature is a fundamental numerical invariant of singularities in positive characteristic. Its positivity detects strong $F$-regularity, an important class of singularities related to KLT singularities in characteristic zero. In…
In this article, I give an iterative closed form formula for the Hilbert-Kunz function for any binomial hypersurface in general, over any feild of arbitrary positive characteristic. I prove that the Hilbert-Kunz multiplicity associated to…
Let F be a class of functions with the uniqueness property: if a function f in F vanishes on a set of positive measure, then f is the zero function. In many instances, we would like to have a quantitative version of this property, e.g. a…
We develop the connection between Rota-Baxter operators arisen from algebra and mathematical physics and Bernoulli polynomials. We state that a trivial property of Rota-Baxter operators implies the symmetry of the power sum polynomials and…
We prove a conjecture of the first author relating the Bernstein-Sato ideal of a finite collection of multivariate polynomials with cohomology support loci of rank one complex local systems. This generalizes a classical theorem of Malgrange…
For a central, not necessarily reduced, hyperplane arrangement $f$ equipped with any factorization $f = f_{1} \cdots f_{r}$ and for $f^{\prime}$ dividing $f$, we consider a more general type of Bernstein--Sato ideal consisting of the…
Let X be a smooth quasiprojective subscheme of P^n of dimension m >= 0 over F_q. Then there exist homogeneous polynomials f over F_q for which the intersection of X and the hypersurface f=0 is smooth. In fact, the set of such f has a…
