Resumen de Bernstein-sato polynomial of plane curves and yano's conjecture

Guillem Blanco Fernández

• The main aim of this thesis is the study of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial of plane curve singularities. In this context, we prove a conjecture posed by Yano about the generic b-exponents of a plane irreducible curve.

  In a part of the thesis, we study the Bernstein-Sato polynomial through the analytic continuation of the complex zeta function of a singularity. We obtain several results on the vanishing and non-vanishing of the residues of the complex zeta function. Using these results we obtain a proof of Yano's conjecture under the hypothesis that the eigenvalues of the monodromy are pair-wise different. In another part of the thesis, we study the periods of integrals in the Milnor fiber and their asymptotic expansion. These periods of integrals can be related to the b-exponents and can be constructed in terms of resolution of singularities. Using these techniques, we can present a proof for the general case of Yano's conjecture.

  In addition to the Bernstein-Sato polynomial, we also study the minimal Tjurina number of a plane irreducible curve and we answer in the positive a question raised by Dimca and Greuel on the quotient between the Milnor and Tjurina numbers. More precisely, we prove a formula for the minimal Tjurina number of a plane irreducible curve in terms of the multiplicities of the strict transform along its minimal resolution. From this formula, we obtain the positive answer to Dimca and Greuel question.

  This thesis also contains computational results for the theory of singularities on smooth complex surfaces. First, we describe an algorithm to compute log-resolutions of ideals on a smooth complex surface. Secondly, we provide an algorithm to compute generators for complete ideals on a smooth complex surface. These algorithms have several applications, for instance, in the computation of the multiplier ideals associated to an ideal on a smooth complex surface.
