We present a quite efficient method to calculate the roots of Bernstein-Sato polynomial for a defining polynomial $f$ of a projective hypersurface $Z\subset{\mathbb P}^{n-1}$ of degree $d$ having only weighted homogeneous isolated…

The goal of this note is to survey some recent results on the Grauert-Riemenschneider multiplier ideal sheaves on any (reduced) complex space of pure dimension. In particular, we obtain the Brian\c{c}on-Skoda number for any Noetherian ring…

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…

We generalize a Brian\c{c}on-Skoda type theorem first studied by Aberbach and Huneke. With some conditions on a regular local ring $(R,\m)$ containing a field, and an ideal $I$ of $R$ with analytic spread $\ell$ and a minimal reduction $J$,…

The Brian\c{c}on-Skoda theorem in its many versions has been studied by algebraists for several decades. In this paper, under some assumptions on an F-rational local ring $(R,\m)$, and an ideal $I$ of $R$ of analytic spread $\ell$ and…

For a projective hypersurface $Z$ with isolated singularities, we generalize some well-known assertions in the nonsingular case due to Griffiths, Scherk, Steenbrink, Varchenko, and others about the relations between the Steenbrink spectrum,…

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,…

Suppose $J = (f_1, \dots, f_n)$ is an $n$-generated ideal in any ring $R$. We prove a general Brian\c{c}on-Skoda-type containment relating the integral closure $\overline{J^{n+k-1}}$ with ordinary powers $J^k$. We prove that our result…

Given two holomorphic functions $f$ and $g$ defined in two respective germs of complex analytic manifolds $(X,x)$ and $(Y,y)$, we know thanks to M. Saito that, as long as one of them is Euler homogeneous, the reduced (or microlocal)…

We show that if f is a nonzero, noninvertible function on a smooth complex variety X and J_f is the Jacobian ideal of f, then lct(f, J_f^2)>1 if and only if the hypersurface defined by f has rational singularities. Moreover, if this is not…

In characteristic zero, the Bernstein-Sato polynomial of a hypersurface can be described as the minimal polynomial of the action of an Euler operator on a suitable D-module. We consider the analogous D-module in positive characteristic, and…

We consider the Bernstein--Sato polynomial of a locally quasi-homogeneous polynomial $f \in R = \mathbb{C}[x_{1}, x_{2}, x_{3}]$. We construct, in the analytic category, a complex of $\mathscr{D}_{X}[s]$-modules that can be used to compute…

For any real numbers $B \ge 1$ and $\delta \in (0, 1)$ and function $f: [0, B] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, let $d_{B; \delta} (f) \in \mathbb{Z}_{> 0}$ denote the minimum degree of a polynomial $p(x)$ satisfying $\sup_{x \in [0, B]} \big| p(x)…

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…

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 $\alpha_{f,k}-r_k$…

Our main result is to show that the existence of a root in. --$\alpha$--Nfor the p-th Bernstein polynomial of the (a,b)-module generated by a holomorphicform in the (convergent) Brieskorn (a,b)-module associated to f, under the hypothesis…

Let $S$ be a finite set of primes. The $S$-part $[m]_S$ of a non-zero integer $m$ is the largest positive divisor of $m$ that is composed of primes from $S$. In 2013, Gross and Vincent proved that if $f(X)$ is a polynomial with integer…

We prove a conjecture of Teissier asserting that if $f$ has an isolated singularity at $P$ and $H$ is a smooth hypersurface through $P$, then $\widetilde{\alpha}_P(f)\geq \widetilde{\alpha}_P(f\vert_H)+\frac{1}{\theta_P(f)+1}$, where…

A celebrated theorem of Shoda states that over any field K (of characteristic 0), every matrix with trace 0 can be expressed as a commutator AB-BA, or, equivalently, that the set of values of the polynomial f(x,y)=xy-yx on the nxn-matrix…

For an ideal of a regular $\cc$-algebra, its Bernstein-Sato polynomial is the monic polynomial of the lowest degree satisfying an Bernstein-Sato functional equation. We generalize the notion of Bernstein-Sato functional equations to the…
