A Thom-Sebastiani theorem for fiber-integrals (Q968264): Difference between revisions

The main result of this paper is a Thom-Sebastiani theorem for the asymptotics of the fiber-integrals. The asymptotics of the fiber-integrals of the function \(f \bigoplus g: (x,y) \to f(x)+g(y)\) on \((\mathbb C^p\times \mathbb C^q, (0,0))\) are described in terms of the asymptotics of the fiber-integrals of the holomorphic germs \(f: (\mathbb C^p,0) \to (\mathbb C,0)\) and \(g: (\mathbb C^q,0) \to (\mathbb C,0)\). This reduces to compute the asymptotics of a convolution \(\Phi \ast \Psi\) from the asymptotics of \(\Phi\) and \(\Psi\) modulo smooth terms. To obtain a precise result, giving the non vanishing of expected singular terms in the asymptotic expansions of the fiber-integrals associated to \( f \bigoplus g\), the author computes the constants coming from the convolution process. He shows that they are given by rational fractions of Gamma factors, and this enables him to show that these constants do not vanish.
