Answering problems of Manin, we use the critical $L$-values of even weight $k\geq 4$ newforms $f\in S_k(\Gamma_0(N))$ to define zeta-polynomials $Z_f(s)$ which satisfy the functional equation $Z_f(s)=\pm Z_f(1-s)$, and which obey the…
Let $G$ be a linearly reductive group acting on a vector space $V$, and $f$ a (semi-)invariant polynomial on $V$. In this paper we study systematically decompositions of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial of $f$ in parallel with some…
This is the second part of a work dedicated to the study of Bernstein-Sato polynomials for several analytic functions depending on parameters. In this part, we give constructive results generalizing previous ones obtained by the author in…
We describe the roots of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial of a monomial ideal using reduction mod p and invariants of singularities in positive chracteristic. We give in this setting a positive answer to a problem of Takagi, Watanabe and the…
We give estimates for the zero loci of Bernstein-Sato ideals. An upper bound is proved as a multivariate generalisation of the upper bound by Lichtin for the roots of Bernstein-Sato polynomials. The lower bounds generalise the fact that…
We give an introduction to a theory of b-functions, i.e. Bernstein-Sato polynomials. After reviewing some facts from D-modules, we introduce b-functions including the one for arbitrary ideals of the structure sheaf. We explain the relation…
Following work of Musta\c{t}\u{a} and Bitoun we recently developed a notion of Bernstein-Sato roots for arbitrary ideals, which is a prime characteristic analogue for the roots of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial. Here we prove that for…
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,…
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…
We have recently proved a precise relation between Bernstein-Sato ideals of collections of polynomials and monodromy of generalized nearby cycles. In this article we extend this result to other ideals of Bernstein-Sato type.
We study the relation between zero loci of Bernstein-Sato ideals and roots of b-functions and obtain a criterion to guarantee that roots of b-functions of a reducible polynomial are determined by the zero locus of the associated…
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…
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…
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…
In 1987, C. Sabbah proved the existence of Bernstein-Sato polynomials associated with several analytic functions. The purpose of this article is to give a more elementary and constructive proof of the result of C. Sabbah based on the notion…
In this paper, we review several results on the zero loci of Bernstein-Sato ideals related to singularities of hypersurfaces. This is an exposition for the Frontiers of Science Awards in Mathematics presenting results from one of our…
In this paper we prove that the Bernstein-Sato polynomial of any free divisor for which the $D[s]$-module $D[s] h^s$ admits a Spencer logarithmic resolution satisfies the symmetry property $b(-s-2) = \pm b(s)$. This applies in particular to…
For a regular map $F$ from a complex smooth affine variety $X$ to $\mathbb A^r_\mathbb C$, we construct generalized nearby-cycle modules of a regular holonomic $\mathscr D$-module $\mathcal M$ along log strata with the log structure induced…
We show that the dualizing sheaves of reduced simple normal crossings pairs have a canonical weight filtration in a compatible way with the one on the corresponding mixed Hodge modules by calculating the extension classes between the…
We extend the notion of Frobenius Betti numbers and F-splitting ratio to large classes of finitely generated modules over rings of prime characteristic, which are not assumed to be local. We also prove that the strong F-regularity of a pair…
