Abstract: In the ring of holomorphic functions at the origin of C^2, we consider the equation uf'_x+vf'_y=wf where f and w are given. We introduce intersection multiplicities relative to w and f'_y along the branches of f, and we study the solutions (u,v) using these valuations. As an application, we construct an explicit functional equation satisfied by f.


The authors consider, in the ring of holomorphic functions at the origin of \(\mathbb{C}^2\), the equation \(uf'_x+vf'_y=wf\), for given \(f\) and \(w\). They start the analysis of the equation with the following. Let \(\overline{K}=\bigcup_{d\in \mathbb{N}^*}\mathbb{C}[[x^{1/d}]][1/x]\) be the field of Puiseux series. Suppose \(f=\prod _{i=1}^n (y-a_i)\) is a polynomial in \(\overline{K}[y]\). Let \(\overline{\mathcal{E}}\) be the subspace of \(\overline{K}[y]\) of polynomials of degree strictly smaller than \(n\). One fixes the basis \(\varepsilon_i=\prod_{j\neq i}(y-a_j)\), \(1\leq i\leq n\), of \(\overline{K}\). When \(w\in\overline{\mathcal{E}}\), the column matrices of \(u\) and \(w\) are related via a ``magic matrix determined by the \(a_i\). Under certain conditions, the authors find the value of a naturally defined valuation on \(\overline{\mathcal{E}}\) of \(u\) and \(v\) and determine their initial term. This analysis recovers, in the case of the germ of a plane curve with an isolated singularity, that \(f^2\) is in the Jacobian ideal of \(f\), which is a particular case of a theorem of \textit{H. Skoda} and \textit{J. Briançon} [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. A 278, 949--951 (1974; Zbl 0307.32007)]. As an application, a multiple \(b(s)\) of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial (b-function) of \(f\) is found, and similar functional equation \(b(s)f^s=Pf^{s+1}\), with the property that \(b(s)\) depends only on the topological type of the isolated singularity germ.
