Joyce–Song formula for motivic Milnor fibers

About 11 years old · traced to

Let E1E_1 and E2E_2 be semi-Schur objects in the derived category. For a semi-Schur object EE, let LEL_E be the cyclic L∞L_\infty-algebra Ext⁡∗(E,E)\operatorname{Ext}^*(E,E), let S0(E)=Sf,0(LE){\mathcal S}_0(E)={\mathcal S}_{f,0}(L_E) be its motivic Milnor fiber, and let ff denote the corresponding formal potential. For a formal subscheme Z\mathfrak Z of the formal scheme associated with EE, write SZ(f^){\mathcal S}_{\mathfrak Z}(\hat f) for the motivic Milnor fiber over Z\mathfrak Z. The pushforward of motivic vanishing cycles is denoted by

∫X0(−):MX0μ^→MCμ^.\int_{\mathfrak X_0}(-):{\mathcal M}^{\hat\mu}_{\mathfrak X_0}\to {\mathcal M}^{\hat\mu}_{\mathbb C}.

Joyce–Song formula. The following identities should hold:

1−S((0,0))(E1⊕E2)=(1−S0(E1))⋅(1−S0(E2)).1-\mathcal{S}_{((0,0))}(E_1\oplus E_2)=(1-\mathcal S_0(E_1))\cdot(1-\mathcal S_0(E_2)).

Moreover,

∫F∈P(Ext⁡1(E2,E1))(1−S0(F))−∫F∈P(Ext⁡1(E1,E2))(1−S0(F))=([Pdim⁡Ext⁡1(E2,E1)]−[Pdim⁡Ext⁡1(E1,E2)])(1−Sf∣XE1⊕XE2,0).\begin{aligned} &\int_{F\in\mathbb P(\operatorname{Ext}^{1}(E_2,E_1))}(1-\mathcal S_0(F))-\int_{F\in\mathbb P(\operatorname{Ext}^{1}(E_1,E_2))}(1-\mathcal S_0(F))\\ &=\bigl([\mathbb P^{\dim\operatorname{Ext}^{1}(E_2,E_1)}]-[\mathbb P^{\dim\operatorname{Ext}^{1}(E_1,E_2)}]\bigr)\left(1-\mathcal S_{f|_{X_{E_1}\oplus X_{E_2}},0}\right). \end{aligned}

These identities are proposed as motivic analogues of the Joyce–Song formulas for extensions of semi-Schur objects. They extend the preceding Thom–Sebastiani formula for motivic Milnor fibers, but the source provides no resolution status.
