Monodromy zeta functions at infinity, Newton polyhedra and constructible sheaves (Q543333)

For a polynomial map \(f:{\mathbb C}^n\rightarrow {\mathbb C}\) there exists a finite set \(B\subset {\mathbb C}\) such that the restriction \({\mathbb C}^n\backslash f^{-1}(B)\rightarrow {\mathbb C}\backslash B\) is a locally trivial fibration. The elements of the minimal possible such set \(B\) are called bifurcation points. By using sheaf-theoretical methods such as constructible sheaves, the authors generalize the formula of Libgober-Sperber concerning the zeta functions of monodromy at infinity of polynomial maps into various directions. In particular, they obtain some formulas for the zeta functions of global monodromy along the fibers of bifurcation points of polynomial maps.
