Budur's linear-factor generation conjecture for Bernstein-Sato ideals

About 5 years old · traced to

Let F=f1,…,fℓF=f_1,\dots,f_\ell be a tuple of elements of C{x1,…,xd}\mathbb{C}\{x_1,\dots,x_d\}, and let BF⊆C[s1,…,sℓ]B_F\subseteq\mathbb{C}[s_1,\dots,s_\ell] be its Bernstein–Sato ideal. A linear polynomial has the form

a1s1+⋯+aℓsℓ+a,a_1s_1+\cdots+a_\ell s_\ell+a,

with ai∈Q≥0a_i\in\mathbb{Q}_{\geq 0} and a∈Q>0a\in\mathbb{Q}_{>0}. Budur's conjecture. The ideal BFB_F is generated by products of such linear polynomials. The conjecture seeks a multivariable analogue of the factorization of Bernstein–Sato polynomials into linear factors. The supplied source explains that it was prompted by rationality results of Gyoja and Sabbah, but gives no resolution status.
