Abstract: We show that the Hodge and pole order filtrations are globally different for sufficiently general singular projective hypersurfaces in case the degree is 3 or 4 assuming the dimension of the projective space is at least 5 or 3 respectively. We then study an algebraic formula for the global Hodge filtration in the ordinary double point case conjectured by the third named author. This is more explicit and easier to calculate than the previous one in this case. We prove a variant of it under the assumption that the image of the singular points by the e-fold Veronese embedding consists of linearly independent points, where e is determined only by the dimension and the degree. In particular, the original conjecture is true in case the above condition is satisfied for e=1.


Let \(Y\) be a reduced hypersurface in \(X = \mathbb P^n\) defined by a polynomial \(f\) of degree \(d,\) and let \(F\) and \(P\) denote the global Hodge and pole order filtration on \(H^n(X\setminus Y, \mathbb C),\) respectively. The authors show that for any sufficient general hypersurface \(Y\) whose singular locus \(\text{Sing}\, Y\) consists of one ordinary double point and \(d=3,\) \(n\geq 5,\) or \(d=4,\) \(n\geq 3,\) one has \(F^p \neq P^p,\) where \(1+ (n+1)/d \leq p \leq n -[n/2].\) The proof is based on the construction of a series of examples. Under additional assumptions they then compute \(\text{Gr}_F^p H^n(X\setminus Y, \mathbb C),\) \(p< n - [n/2],\) for a hypersurface \(Y\) with some ordinary double singular points in terms of graded pieces of the Jacobian ideal of \(f\) and of powers of the homogeneous ideal of \(\text{Sing}\, Y.\) In fact, their computations partially support a Conjecture by \textit{L. Wotzlaw} [Intersection cohomology of hypersurfaces (Dissertation), Humboldt Universität zu Berlin (2007)] which is a generalization of the Griffiths' theorem on rational integrals [\textit{P. A. Griffiths}, Ann. Math. (2) 90, 460--495, 496--541 (1969; Zbl 0215.08103)]. [For part I, cf. Duke Math. J. 135, No. 2, 303--326 (2006; Zbl 1117.14012)].
