We introduce and study invariants of singularities in positive characteristic called F-thresholds. They give an analogue of the jumping coefficients of multiplier ideals in characteristic zero. We discuss the connection between the…

The purpose of this paper is to make an introduction to univalent function theory for readers of any level, assuming only foundational knowledge in real and complex analysis. In particular, we state and proof (with details) important…

It is be shown that the sequence of Bernstein polynomials for a function of several variables converges to this function uniformly along with every partial derivative of any order, provided that the latter derivative is well defined and…

Conjectures of J. Igusa for p-adic local zeta functions and of J. Denef and F. Loeser for topological local zeta functions assert that (the real part of) the poles of these local zeta functions are roots of the Bernstein-Sato polynomials…

We calculate Bernstein-Sato b-functions for $f_{G^3}^\lambda$, a $SL_n$-invariant section of a line bundle on $SL_n/B \times SL_n/B \times \mathbb{P}^{n - 1}$ whose zero-set is the complement of the open $G$-diagonal orbit. The proof uses a…

Given a polynomial $f\in\mathbb{C}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ and an integer $\ell\in\mathbb{Z}$, we study some properties of the b-function with respect to weights of the annihilating ideal Ann$(f^\ell)$. In some particular cases the expression of…

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…

Given two holomorphic functions $f$ and $g$ defined in two respective germs of complex analytic manifolds $(X,x)$ and $(Y,y)$, we know thanks to M. Saito that, as long as one of them is Euler homogeneous, the reduced (or microlocal)…

A multidimensional generalization of the Bernstein class of functions and the properties of functions of the introduced class are examined. In particular, a new proof of the integral representation of Bernstein functions of many variables…

In this note we determine the Bernstein-Sato polynomial $b_Q(s)$ of a generic central arrangement $Q=\prod_{i=1}^kH_i$ of hyperplanes. We establish a connection between the roots of $b_Q(s)$ and the degrees of the generators for the top…

We determine the Bernstein-Sato polynomials for the ideal of maximal minors of a generic m x n matrix, as well as for that of sub-maximal Pfaffians of a generic skew-symmetric matrix of odd size. As a corollary, we obtain that the Strong…

Given $p$ polynomials with coefficients in a commutative unitary integral ring $\mathcal{C}$ containing $\mathbb{Q}$, we define the notion of a generic Bernstein-Sato polynomial on an irreducible affine scheme $V \subset…

The singularity theory of rational functions, i.e., the quotient of two polynomials, has been investigated in the past two decades. The Bernstein-Sato polynomial of a rational function has recently been introduced by Takeuchi. However, only…

Given $p$ polynomials of $n$ variables over a field $k$ of characteristic 0 and a point $a \in k^n$, we propose an algorithm computing the local Bernstein-Sato ideal at $a$. Moreover with the same algorithm we compute a constructible…

We use the Baernstein star-function to investigate several questions about the integral means of the convolution of two analytic functions in the unit disc. The theory of univalent functions plays a basic role in our work.

We give direct and inverse theorems for the weighted approximation of functions with inner singularities by combinations of Bernstein polynomials.

Let $D\subseteq B$ be an extension of integral domains and $E$ a subset of the quotient field of $D$. We introduce the ring of \textit{$D$-valued $B$-rational functions on $E$}, denoted by $Int^R_B(E,D)$, which naturally extends the…

For fixed prime integer $p > 0$ we develop a notion of Bernstein-Sato polynomial for polynomials with $\mathbb{Z} / p^m$-coefficients, compatible with existing theory in the case $m = 1$. We show that the ``roots" of such polynomials are…

We compute the Bernstein-Sato polynomial of $f$, a function which given a pair $(M,v)$ in $X = M_n(\mathbf{C}) \times \mathbf{C}^n$ tests whether $v$ is a cyclic vector for $M$. The proof includes a description of shift operators…

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…
