Motivic and topological zeta functions are singularity invariants, mainly associated to a function $f$ and a top differential form $\omega$ on a smooth variety. When $\omega$ is the standard form $dx_1\wedge \dots \wedge dx_n$ on affine…

We show that the Bernstein-Sato polynomial (that is, the b-function) of a hyperplane arrangement with a reduced equation is calculable by combining a generalization of Malgrange's formula with the theory of Aomoto complexes due to Esnault,…

We consider the class of all homogeneous, possibly non-reduced, polynomials $f$ whose associated reduced projective divisor $D_{\text{red}} \subset \mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ has (at worst) quasi-homogeneous isolated singularities. In an arbitrary…

For any polynomial f with complex coefficients we find a remarkable subset of poles of the motivic zeta function. It is combinatorially determined by any log resolution and it admits an intrinsic interpretation in terms of contact loci of…

We study a topological method to calculate the first Milnor fiber cohomology of a defining polynomial of a reduced projective hyperplane arrangement $X$ of degree $d$. We can show the vanishing of a monodromy eigenspace of the first Milnor…

The main objects of study in this paper are the poles of several local zeta functions: the Igusa, topological and motivic zeta function associated to a polynomial or (germ of) holomorphic function in n variables. We are interested in poles…

The Bernstein-Sato polynomial, or the $b$-function, is an important invariant of singularities of hypersurfaces that is difficult to compute in general. We describe a few different results towards computing the $b$-function of the…

The order of the Milnor fiber monodromy operator of a central hyperplane arrangement is shown to be combinatorially determined. In particular, a necessary and sufficient condition for the triviality of this monodromy operator is given. It…

We prove that certain roots of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial (i.e. b-function) are jumping coefficients up to a sign, showing a partial converse of a theorem of L. Ein, R. Lazarsfeld, K.E. Smith, and D. Varolin. We also prove that certain…
