On the structure of Brieskorn lattice (Q1102407)

Let f: (\({\mathbb{C}}^{n+1},0)\to ({\mathbb{C}},0)\) be a holomorphic function with an isolated singularity. We have the filtered Gauss-Manin system \((M,F)=(\int ^{0}_{f}\underline O_ X,F)_ 0\) with \(f: X\to S\) a good represent of f (i.e. Milnor fibration) such that \(F_{-n}M\) is the Brieskorn lattice \(\Omega ^{n+1}_{X,0}/df\wedge d\Omega ^{n- 1}_{X,0}\). We study the structure of the filtered \b{E}-module (M,F) using the filtration V of M, and get a free basis \(v=(v_ 1,...,v_{\mu})\) of \(F_{-n}M\) over \({\mathbb{C}}\{\{\partial _ t^{- 1}\}\}\) such that the action of t is expressed by \(tv=A_ 0+A_ 1\partial _ t^{-1}v\) for two matrices \(A_ 0\), \(A_ 1\) with \(A_ 1\) semisimple. For the proof we use essentially the theory of V- filtration and mixed Hodge structures. The relation between the filtered microlocal Poincaré duality of (M,F) and the Grothendieck residue pairings is also explained. As an application, the b-function of f is calculated in some cases.
