    Consider a polynomial map \(f :{\mathbb C}^{n+1} \longrightarrow {\mathbb C}\). For \(r\) a big enough real number the map \(1/f : Z:= Z_r :={\mathbb C}^{n+1} \setminus f^{-1}(D_r) \rightarrow D^*_{1-r}\) is a locally trivial \(C^{\infty}\) fibration. The map \(1/f\) can be compactified, and a fiber over 0 can be added, so that we get a projective map \(p : X \rightarrow D_{1-r}\). Write \(Y = p^{-1}(0)\), and \(X \setminus Z = Y \cup \Delta\), where \(\Delta\) is the union of irreducible components of \(X \setminus Z\) not contained in \(Y\). Consider the universal covering \({\mathbb H}\) of \(D^*_{1-r}\) and let \(\widetilde{Z}:= Z \times_{D_{1/r}} {\mathbb H}\), which has the homotopy type of a generic fiber of \(f\). The cohomology groups of \(\widetilde{Z}\) with rational coefficients carry a limit mixed Hodge structure. The one on \(n\)--th cohomology group is called the limit MHS at infinity. The authors study the equivariant Hodge numbers of this limit MHS in case that for all \(t \in {\mathbb C}\) which is not a critical value of \(f\), the closure of \({f = t}\) in projective space is non-singular.
