Bernstein -- Sato polynomials on normal toric varieties (Q1990489)

Normally, multiplier ideals and \(b\)-functions are related to some divisor (or ideals) in a smooth ambient space. This paper generalizes \(b\)-functions to the case of the ideals on normal toric varieties, and showed that this \(b\)-function is the same as the usual \(b\)-function of some ideal on a smooth variety (i.e. locally an ideal in the polynomial ring of some affine space). Moreover, since multiplier ideals have been generalized to the case of ideals on normal varieties [\textit{T. de Fernex} and \textit{C. D. Hacon}, Compos. Math. 145, No. 2, 393--414 (2009; Zbl 1179.14003)], the authors can get a generalization of the classical result about the roots of \(b\)-function and the log-canonical threshold [\textit{N. Budur} et al., Compos. Math. 142, No. 3, 779--797 (2006; Zbl 1112.32014)], which in the simplest case, for any divisor \((f=0)\) in \(\mathbb{A}^n\), the jumping number, the log canonical threshold \(\alpha_f\) is the smallest root of \(b_f(-s)\), and any jumping number in \([\alpha_f, \alpha_f+1)\) are roots of \(b_f(-s)\).
