We compute the motivic Euler characteristic of Ayoub's nearby cycles spectrum in terms of strata of a semi-stable reduction, for a degeneration to multiple semi-quasi-homogeneous singularities. This allows us to compare the local picture at…
We prove a motivic enhancement of the classical Picard--Lefschetz formula. Our proof is completely motivic, and yields a description of the motivic nearby cycles at a quasi-homogeneous singularity, as well as its monodromy, in terms of an…
We compute the motivic nearby cycles of functions obtained by composition with a polynomial which is non-degenerate with respect to its Newton polyhedron. Our result involves new convolution operators and generalized nearby cycles.
In this thesis we give two applications of Ayoub's motivic nearby cycles functor: First we give a generalization of Grothendieck's classical local monodromy theorem. In the classical setup we show that the inertia group acts…
In this article we give an expression of the motivic Milnor fiber at infinity and the motivic nearby cycles at infinity of a polynomial $f$ in two variables with coefficients in an algebraic closed field of characteristic zero. This…
For a polynomial function $f \colon \mathbb{C}^n \longrightarrow \mathbb{C}$, it is well-known in singularity theory (after Thom, Pham, Verdier,...) that outside a finite subset of $\mathbb{C}$, the function is a locally trivial…
We construct a theory of motivic cohomology for quasi-compact, quasi-separated schemes of equal characteristic, which is related to non-connective algebraic $K$-theory via an Atiyah--Hirzebruch spectral sequence, and to \'etale cohomology…
We study polynomials with complex coefficients which are nondegenerate in two senses, one of Kouchnirenko and the other with respect to its Newton polyhedron, through data on contact loci and motivic nearby cycles. Introducing an explicit…
The aim of this work is to develop a theory parallel to that of motivic complexes based on cycles and correspondences with coefficients in quadratic forms. This framework is closer to the point of view of $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy than the…
In this note we study homological cycles in the mirror quintic Calabi-Yau threefold which can be realized by special Lagrangian submanifolds. We have used Picard-Lefschetz theory to establish the monodromy action and to study the orbit of…
Given a family $X$ of complex varieties degenerating over a punctured disc, one is interested in computing related invariants called the motivic nearby fiber and the refined limit mixed Hodge numbers, both of which contain information about…
We prove a descent theorem of nearby cycle formula for Newton non-degenerate functions at the origin as well as its motivic version (without assuming the convenience condition). This is used in some papers without any proof although its…
A extension of the Euler-Maclaurin (E-M) formula to near-singular functions is presented. This extension is derived based on earlier generalized E-M formulas for singular functions. The new E-M formulas consists of two components: a…
We compute the motivic Milnor fiber of a complex plane curve singularity in an inductive and combinatoric way using the extended simplified resolution graph. The method introduced in this article has a consequence that one can study the…
We give a new proof - not using resolution of singularities - of a formula of Denef and the second author expressing the Lefschetz number of iterates of the monodromy of a function on a smooth complex algebraic variety in terms of the Euler…
We introduce a new algebraic-cycle model for the motivic cohomology theory of truncated polynomials $k[t]/(t^m)$ in one variable. This approach uses ideas from the deformation theory and non-archimedean analysis, and is distinct from the…
We first give two new proofs of an old result that the reduced Euler characteristic of a matroid complex is equal to the M\"obius number of the lattice of cycles of the matroid up to the sign. The purpose has been to find a model to…
The middle homology of the Milnor fiber of a quasihomogeneous polynomial with an isolated singularity is a ${\mathbb Z}$-lattice and comes equipped with an automorphism of finite order, the integral monodromy. Orlik (1972) made a precise…
We consider the category of Deligne 1-motives over a perfect field k of exponential characteristic p and its derived category for a suitable exact structure after inverting p. As a first result, we provide a fully faithful embedding into an…
The integral monodromy on the Milnor lattice of an isolated quasihomogeneous singularity is subject of an almost untouched conjecture of Orlik from 1972. We prove this conjecture for all iterated Thom-Sebastiani sums of chain type…
