Degree bound conjecture for Bernstein–Sato polynomials of homogeneous polynomials
Degree bound conjecture for Bernstein–Sato polynomials of homogeneous polynomials
Let be a homogeneous polynomial in variables with coefficients in a field of characteristic , and let be its Bernstein–Sato polynomial. Degree bound conjecture. One has
This would give a general lower bound on the degree of a Bernstein–Sato polynomial in the homogeneous case. The paper notes that the bound can fail for nonhomogeneous polynomials and that examples with exist even for homogeneous polynomials, but reports no counterexample to the conjecture.
