Suppose $p$ is a prime, $t$ is a positive integer, and $f\!\in\!\mathbb{Z}[x]$ is a univariate polynomial of degree $d$ with coefficients of absolute value $<\!p^t$. We show that for any fixed $t$, we can compute the number of roots in…

Let $C$ be a cusp in $(\mathbb C^2,\mathbf 0)$ with Puiseux pair $(n,m)$. This paper is devoted to show how the semimodule of differential values of $C$ determines a subset of the roots of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial of $C$. We add more…

The topology of smooth quasi-projective complex varieties is very restrictive. One aspect of this statement is the fact that natural strata of local systems, called cohomology support loci, have a rigid structure: they consist of…

We study the poles and residues of the complex zeta function $ f^s $ of a plane curve. We prove that most non-rupture divisors do not contribute to poles of $ f^s $ or roots of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial $ b_f(s) $ of $ f $. For plane…

In different areas of discrete mathematics, a certain type of polynomials, having coefficients in a field K of finite characteristic, has been considered. The form and the degree of these polynomials, here called projective, are simply…

We show that if a homogeneous polynomial $f$ in $n$ variables has Waring rank $n+1$, then the corresponding projective hypersurface $f=0$ has at most isolated singularities, and the type of these singularities is completely determined by…

We improve the local generic position method for isolating the real roots of a zero-dimensional bivariate polynomial system with two polynomials and extend the method to general zero-dimensional polynomial systems. The method mainly…

In this article we study quotients of deformations of simple singularities, and attempt to characterize them in terms of subsystems of simple root systems. The quotient of a semiuniversal deformation of a simple singularity of inhomogeneous…

Given a hypersurface singularity $(X,0) \subset (\mathbb{C}^{n+1},0)$ defined by a holomorphic function $f:(\mathbb{C}^{n+1},0) \to (\mathbb{C},0)$, we introduce an alternating version of Teissier's Jacobian Newton polygon, associated with…

The hypersurface in a 3-dimensional vector space with an isolated quasi-homogeneous elliptic singularity of type E_r,r=6,7,8, has a natural Poisson structure. We show that the family of del Pezzo surfaces of the corresponding type E_r…

In this article, we develop a positive characteristic analogue of the Bernstein--Sato theory for holonomic D-modules in the complex setting. We work with D-modules on a Noetherian regular $F$-finite $\mathbb{F}_p$-scheme $X$, and define…

This paper investigates the existence and properties of a Bernstein-Sato functional equation in nonregular settings. In particular, we construct $D$-modules in which such formal equations can be studied. The existence of the Bernstein-Sato…

For a nonzero ideal I of C[x_1,...,x_n], with 0 in supp I, a generalization of a conjecture of Igusa - Denef - Loeser predicts that every pole of its topological zeta function is a root of its Bernstein-Sato polynomial. However, typically…

We present a theory of the $b$-function (or Bernstein-Sato polynomial) in positive characteristic. Let $f$ be a non-constant polynomial with coefficients in a perfect field $k$ of characteristic $p>0.$ Its $b$-function $b_f$ is defined to…

Evaluating or finding the roots of a polynomial $f(z) = f_0 + \cdots + f_d z^d$ with floating-point number coefficients is a ubiquitous problem. By using a piecewise approximation of $f$ obtained with a careful use of the Newton polygon of…
