Roots of Bernstein-Sato polynomials of certain homogeneous polynomials with two-dimensional singular loci

Abstract

For a homogeneous polynomial of $n$ variables, we present a new method to compute the roots of Bernstein-Sato polynomial supported at the origin, assuming that general hyperplane sections of the associated projective hypersurface have at most weighted homogeneous isolated singularities. Calculating the dimensions of certain $E_r$-terms of the pole order spectral sequence for a given integer $r\in [2,n]$, we can detect its degeneration at $E_r$ for certain degrees. In the case of strongly free, locally positively weighted homogeneous divisors on ${\mathbb{P}}^3$, we can prove its degeneration almost at $E_2$ and completely at $E_3$ together with a symmetry of a modified pole-order spectrum for the $E_2$-term. These can be used to determine the roots of Bernstein-Sato polynomials supported at the origin, except for rather special cases.
