Hodge filtration, minimal exponent, and local vanishing
arXiv:1901.05780 · doi:10.1007/s00222-019-00933-x
Abstract
We bound the generation level of the Hodge filtration on the localization along a hypersurface in terms of its minimal exponent. As a consequence, we obtain a local vanishing theorem for sheaves of forms with log poles. These results are extended to Q-divisors, and are derived from a result of independent interest on the generation level of the Hodge filtration on nearby and vanishing cycles.
