The Bernstein-Sato polynomial (or global b-function) is an important invariant in singularity theory, which can be computed using symbolic methods in the theory of D-modules. After surveying algorithms for computing the global b-function,…
We give an introduction to a theory of b-functions, i.e. Bernstein-Sato polynomials. After reviewing some facts from D-modules, we introduce b-functions including the one for arbitrary ideals of the structure sheaf. We explain the relation…
We generalize the Gr\"obner basis method for free D-modules to the case of several term orderings induced by a partition of the set of basic variables. Using this generalized Gr\"obner basis technique we prove the existence and give a…
In this paper we generalize the classical Groebner basis technique to prove the existence and present a method of computation of a dimension polynomial in two variables associated with a finitely generated D-module, that is, a finitely…
The Bernstein-Sato polynomial, or the $b$-function, is an important invariant of singularities of hypersurfaces that is difficult to compute in general. We describe a few different results towards computing the $b$-function of the…
We establish the existence of the Bernstein polynomial in one indeterminate $t$, and provide a method for its explicit computation. The Bernstein polynomial is associated with finitely generated modules over the Weyl algebra, known as…
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…
A holonomic D-module on a complex analytic manifoldadmits always a b-function along any submanifold. If the module is regular, itadmits also a regular b-function, that is a b-function with a condition on the order of the lower terms of the…
Given a $D$-module $M$ generated by a single element, and a polynomial $f$, one can construct several $D$-modules attached to $M$ and $f$ and can define the notion of the (generalized) $b$-function following M. Kashiwara. These modules are…
In this paper we compute b-functions (or Bernstein-Sato polynomials) of various semi-invariants of quivers. The main tool is an explicit relation for the b-functions between semi-invariants that correspond to each other under reflection…
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 introduce the notion of Bernstein-Sato polynomial of an arbitrary variety (which is not necessarily reduced nor irreducible), using the theory of V-filtrations of M. Kashiwara and B. Malgrange. We prove that the decreasing filtration by…
The notion of a descent polynomial, a function in enumerative combinatorics that counts permutations with specific properties, enjoys a revived recent research interest due to its connection with other important notions in combinatorics,…
In algebraic geometry, one studies the solutions to polynomial equations, or, equivalently, to linear partial differential equations with constant coefficients. These lecture notes address the more general case when the coefficients are…
We establish some cohomological bounds in D-module theory that are known in the holonomic case and folklore in general. The method rests on a generalization of the b-function lemma for non-holonomic D-modules.
We introduce the notion of numerical functors to generalise Eilenberg & MacLane's polynomial functors to modules over a binomial base ring. After shewing how these functors are encoded by modules over a certain ring, we record a precise…
Given any square matrix or a bounded operator $A$ in a Hilbert space such that $p(A)$ is normal (or similar to normal), we construct a Banach algebra, depending on the polynomial $p$, for which a simple functional calculus holds. When the…
In 1987, C. Sabbah proved the existence of Bernstein-Sato polynomials associated with several analytic functions. The purpose of this article is to give a more elementary and constructive proof of the result of C. Sabbah based on the notion…
In this paper some classes of local polynomial functions on abelian groups are characterized by the properties of their variety. For this characterization we introduce a numerical quantity depending on the variety of the local polynomial…
A function that is analytic on a domain of $\mathbb{C}^n$ is holonomic if it is the solution to a holonomic system of linear homogeneous differential equations with polynomial coefficients. We define and study the Bernstein-Sato polynomial…
