An irreducible element of a commutative ring is absolutely irreducible if no power of it has more than one (essentially different) factorization into irreducibles. In the case of the ring $\text{Int}(D)=\{f\in K[x]\mid f(D)\subseteq D\}$,…
Bernstein's inequality is a central result in the theory of $D$-modules on smooth varieties. While Bernstein's inequality fails for rings of differential operators on general singularities, recent work of \`{A}lvarez Montaner, Hern\'andez,…
We prove that hypersurfaces defined by irreducible square-free polynomials have rational singularities. As an easy consequence, we deduce that certain (possibly non-square-free) polynomials associated to pairs of square-free polynomials…
Let $R$ be an affine domain of characteristic zero with finite quotients. We prove that a polynomial map over $R$ is surjective if and only if it is surjective over $\hat{R_{\mathfrak{m}}}$, the completion of $R$ with respect to…
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 present an example of a strictly positive polynomial with rational coefficients that can be decomposed as a sum of squares of polynomials over $\R$ but not over $\Q$. This answers an open question by C. Scheiderer posed as the second…
This paper is the widely extended version of the publication, appeared in Proceedings of ISSAC'2009 conference \citep*{ALM09}. We discuss more details on proofs, present new algorithms and examples. We present a general algorithm for…
In this article, we develop a positive characteristic analogue of the Bernstein--Sato theory for holonomic D-modules in the complex setting. We work with D-modules on a Noetherian regular $F$-finite $\mathbb{F}_p$-scheme $X$, and define…
We show that if $f\in \mathcal{O}_X(X)$ and $g\in \mathcal{O}_Y(Y)$ are nonzero regular functions on smooth complex algebraic varieties $X$ and $Y$, then the Bernstein-Sato polynomial of the product function $fg \in \mathcal{O}_{X\times…
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.
Motivated by a valuation theorem, recently obtained by Rangachev, we study the \'etale extensions $A\subset B$ of polynomial rings over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, such that the integral closure $\overline{A}$ is a…
Let X be a finite set of points in R^n. A polynomial p nonnegative on X can be written as a sum of squares of rational functions modulo the vanishing ideal I(X). From the point of view of applications, such as polynomial optimization, we…
We give estimates for the zero loci of Bernstein-Sato ideals. An upper bound is proved as a multivariate generalisation of the upper bound by Lichtin for the roots of Bernstein-Sato polynomials. The lower bounds generalise the fact that…
We describe the roots of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial of a monomial ideal using reduction mod p and invariants of singularities in positive chracteristic. We give in this setting a positive answer to a problem of Takagi, Watanabe and 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…
In 1982, Tamaki Yano proposed a conjecture predicting the set of b-exponents of an irreducible plane curve singularity germ which is generic in its equisingularity class. In \cite{ACLM-Yano2} we proved the conjecture for the case in which…
Musta\c{t}\u{a} defined Bernstein-Sato polynomials in prime characteristic for principal ideals and proved that the roots of these polynomials are related to the $F$-jumping numbers of the ideal. This approach was later refined by Bitoun.…
We have recently proved a precise relation between Bernstein-Sato ideals of collections of polynomials and monodromy of generalized nearby cycles. In this article we extend this result to other ideals of Bernstein-Sato type.
To compute solutions of sparse polynomial systems efficiently we have to exploit the structure of their Newton polytopes. While the application of polyhedral methods naturally excludes solutions with zero components, an irreducible…
We define an indicial polynomial of a $D$-module along an arbitrary subvariety as a generalization of both the classical indicial polynomial for a single linear differential equation and the Bernstein-Sato polynomial of a variety defined by…
