The Bernstein-Sato polynomial is an important invariant of an element or an ideal in a polynomial ring or power series ring of characteristic zero, with interesting connections to various algebraic and topological aspects of the…

We show that there is a pair of homogeneous polynomials such that the sets of roots of their Bernstein-Sato polynomials which are strictly supported at the origin are different although the sets of roots which are not strictly supported at…

We describe an algorithm computing the monodromy and the pole order filtration on the Milnor fiber cohomology of any reduced projective plane curve $C$. The relation to the zero set of Bernstein-Sato polynomial of the defining homogeneous…

We develop recursive formulas for the horizontal and vertical monodromies of a quasi-ordinary surface. These are monodromies associated to the Milnor fiber of a slice transverse to a component of the singular locus. In the course of working…

A log generic hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^n$ with respect to a birational modification of $\mathbb{P}^n$ is by definition the image of a generic element of a high power of an ample linear series on the modification. A log very-generic…

We investigate branching of solutions to holonomic bivariate hypergeometric systems of Horn's type. Special attention is paid to the invariant subspace of Puiseux polynomial solutions. We mainly study Horn systems defined by simplicial…

For a subvariety of a smooth projective variety, consider the family of smooth hypersurfaces of sufficiently large degree containing it, and take the quotient of the middle cohomology of the hypersurfaces by the cohomology of the ambient…

We consider the topology for a class of hypersurfaces with highly nonisolated singularites which arise as exceptional orbit varieties of a special class of prehomogeneous vector spaces, which are representations of linear algebraic groups…

By using our previous results on L\^e modules and an upper-bound on the betti numbers which we proved with L\^e, we investigate the cohomology of Milnor fibers and the internal local systems given by the vanishing cycles of hypersurfaces…

The Shafarevich conjecture for a class of varieties over a number field posits the finitude of those with good reduction outside a finite set of primes. In the case of hypersurfaces in the torus $\mathbb{G}_m^n$, a natural class to consider…

We generalize Griffiths' theorem on the Hodge filtration of the primitive cohomology of a smooth projective hypersurface, using the local Bernstein-Sato polynomials, the V-filtration of Kashiwara and Malgrange along the hypersurface and the…

We give a proof the monodromy conjecture relating the poles of motivic zeta functions with roots of b-functions for isolated quasihomogeneous hypersurfaces, and more generally for semi-quasihomogeneous hypersurfaces. We also give a strange…

The monodromy conjecture is an umbrella term for several conjectured relationships between poles of zeta functions, monodromy eigenvalues and roots of Bernstein-Sato polynomials in arithmetic geometry and singularity theory. Even the…

We prove the multiplicative Thom-Sebastiani rule for Bernstein-Sato polynomials, answering the longstanding questions of Budur and Popa. We generalize the result to the tensor of two effective divisors on the product of two arbitrary…

We show that complex local systems with quasi-unipotent monodromy at infinity over a normal complex variety are Zariski dense in their moduli. v2: we waited for feedback and added a consequence of Alexandr Petrov's theorem. 3: we tightened…

Let $f$ be a semi-weighted-homogeneous polynomial having an isolated singularity at 0. Let $\alpha_{f,k}$ be the spectral numbers of $f$ at 0. By Malgrange and Varchenko there are non-negative integers $r_k$ such that the $\alpha_{f,k}-r_k$…

We determine the Bernstein-Sato polynomials for the ideal of maximal minors of a generic m x n matrix, as well as for that of sub-maximal Pfaffians of a generic skew-symmetric matrix of odd size. As a corollary, we obtain that the Strong…

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,…

The absolute sets of local systems on a smooth complex algebraic variety are the subject of a conjecture of N. Budur and B. Wang based on an analogy with special subvarieties of Shimura varieties. An absolute set should be the…

We show that given an ideal I generated by regular functions f_1,...,f_r on the smooth complex variety X, the Bernstein-Sato polynomial of I is equal to the reduced Bernstein-Sato polynomial of the function g=\sum_{i=1}^rf_iy_i on the…
