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 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 prove that certain roots of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial (i.e. b-function) are jumping coefficients up to a sign, showing a partial converse of a theorem of L. Ein, R. Lazarsfeld, K.E. Smith, and D. Varolin. We also prove that certain…

We show that the Bernstein-Sato polynomial (that is, the b-function) of a hyperplane arrangement with a reduced equation is calculable by combining a generalization of Malgrange's formula with the theory of Aomoto complexes due to Esnault,…
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…
