Regular functions transversal at infinity

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We generalize and complete some of Maxim's recent results on Alexander invariants of a polynomial transversal to the hyperplane at infinity. Roughly speaking, and surprisingly, such a polynomial behaves both topologically and algebraically (e.g. in terms of the variation of MHS on the cohomology of its smooth fibers), like a homogeneous polynomial.


The general field of interest of this article is the study of topological and geometrical properties of polynomial functions with good behaviour at infinity, more precisely with the property of \(\infty\)-transversality as introduced by L. Maxim. In this setting they study Alexander invariants and obtain several results which reveal a behaviour of these functions that is in a certain way similar to homogeneous polynomials; the main result states detailed properties of the Alexander modules including the existence of a canonical mixed Hodge structure.
