Let $(X,x)$ be an isolated complete intersection singularity and let $f : (X,x) \to (\CC,0)$ be the germ of an analytic function with an isolated singularity at $x$. An important topological invariant in this situation is the…
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…
Given $n\geq1$ and $r\in[0, 1),$ we consider the set $\mathcal{R}_{n, r}$ of rational functions having at most $n$ poles all outside of $\frac{1}{r}\mathbb{D},$ were $\mathbb{D}$ is the unit disc of the complex plane. We give an…
We prove that any pair of bivariate trinomials has at most 5 isolated roots in the positive quadrant. The best previous upper bounds independent of the polynomial degrees counted only non-degenerate roots and even then gave much larger…
We discuss Bernstein polynomials of reductive linear free divisors. We define suitable Brieskorn lattices for these non-isolated singularities, and show the analogue of Malgrange's result relating the roots of the Bernstein polynomial to…
In this paper we study the following set\[A=\{p(n)+2^nd \mod 1: n\geq 1\}\subset [0.1],\] where $p$ is a polynomial with at least one irrational coefficient on non constant terms, $d$ is any real number and for $a\in [0,\infty)$, $a \mod 1$…
For a holomorphic function f on a complex manifold M we explain in this article that the distribution associated to |f | 2$\alpha$ (Log|f | 2) q f --N by taking the corresponding limit on the sets {|f | $\ge$ $\epsilon$} when $\epsilon$…
We provide a new, geometric proof of the motivic monodromy conjecture for non-degenerate hypersurfaces in dimension $3$, which has been proven previously by the work of Lemahieu--Van Proeyen and Bories--Veys. More generally, given a…
Given a complex germ $f$ near the point $\mathfrak{x}$ of the complex manifold $X$, equipped with a factorization $f = f_{1} \cdots f_{r}$, we consider the $\mathscr{D}_{X,\mathfrak{x}}[s_{1}, \dots, s_{r}]$-module generated by $ F^{S} :=…
It is well known that standard one-dimensional Brownian motion B(t) has no isolated zeros almost surely. We show that for any alpha<1/2 there are alpha-H\"older continuous functions f for which the process B-f has isolated zeros with…
Let $k$ be a global function field with field of constants $\Fr$ and let $\infty$ be a fixed place of $k$. In his habilitation thesis \cite{boc2}, Gebhard B\"ockle attaches abelian Galois representations to characteristic $p$ valued cusp…
For a holomorphic function $f$ on a complex manifold $X$, the Brian\c{c}on-Skoda exponent $e^{\rm BS}(f)$ is the smallest integer $k$ with $f^k\in(\partial f)$ (replacing $X$ with a neighborhood of $f^{-1}(0)$), where $(\partial f)$ denotes…
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 consider the generating function $\Phi^{(N)}$ for the reciprocals $N$-th power of factorials. We show a connection of product formulas for such series with the periods for certain families of algebraic hypersurfaces. For these families…
We give an elementary introduction to some recent polyhedral techniques for understanding and solving systems of multivariate polynomial equations. We provide numerous concrete examples and illustrations, and assume no background in…
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…
Given an arbitrary monic polynomial $f$ over a field $F$ of characteristic 0, we use companion matrices to construct a polynomial $M_f\in F[X]$ of minimum degree such that for each root $\alpha$ of $f$ in the algebraic closure of $F$,…
We initiate the study of representations of elementary abelian $p$-groups via restrictions to truncated polynomial subalgebras of the group algebra generated by $r$ nilpotent elements, $k[t_1,..., t_r]/(t^p_1,..., t_r^p)$. We introduce new…

An observation by J-P. Serre implies that cubic polynomials are unique among generic monic polynomials of degree 2 or higher in that they have a root that is a power series in the discriminant of the polynomial. We provide formulas for this…
