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…

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…

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 prove some sufficient conditions in order that a root of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial contributes to a difference between certain D-modules generated by rational powers of a holomorphic function; for instance, this holds in the case of…

We give a combinatorial description of the roots of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial of a monomial ideal using the Newton polyhedron and some semigroups associated to the ideal.

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…

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 $\alpha_{f,k}-r_k$…

This is an expository survey on the theory of Bernstein-Sato polynomials with special emphasis in its recent developments and its importance in commutative algebra.

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 introduce and study invariants of singularities in positive characteristic called F-thresholds. They give an analogue of the jumping coefficients of multiplier ideals in characteristic zero. We discuss the connection between the…

We investigate the Stern polynomials defined by $B_0 ( t ) =0,B_1 ( t ) =1$, and for $n \geq 2$ by the recurrence relations $B_{2n}( t) =tB_{n}( t) ,$ $B_{2n+1}( t) =B_n( t) +B_{n+1}( t) $. We prove that all possible rational roots of that…

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote the finite field of characteristic $p$ and order $q$. Let $\mathbb{Z}_q$ denote the unramified extension of the $p$-adic rational integers $\mathbb{Z}_p$ with residue field $\mathbb{F}_q$. Given two positive…

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 develop a theory of Bernstein-Sato polynomials for meromorphic functions and we use it to study the analytic continuation of Archimedian local zeta functions in this setting. We also introduce both an analytic and an algebraic theory of…

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…

For a real polynomial $p = \sum_{i=0}^{n} c_ix^i$ with no negative coefficients and $n\geq 6$, let $\beta (p) = \inf_{i=1}^{n-1} c_i^2/c_{i+1}c_{i-1}$ (so $\beta (p) \geq 1$ entails that $p$ is log concave). If $\beta(p) > 1.45...$, then…

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 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…

Given $p$ polynomials of $n$ variables over a field $k$ of characteristic 0 and a point $a \in k^n$, we propose an algorithm computing the local Bernstein-Sato ideal at $a$. Moreover with the same algorithm we compute a constructible…

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…
