Bernstein--Sato theory in positive characteristic and unit root nearby cycles.
[ Abstract ]
I will talk about how to formulate (and outline an idea of a proof of) a positive characteristic analogue of the theorem of Kashiwara and Malgrange about the relationship, in characteristic zero, between the Bernstein-Sato polynomial and the eigenvalues of the monodromy action on nearby cycles. It will/is expected to give a cohomological explanation for some of the arithmetic phenomena that will be presented in the talk by Eamon Quinlan. This is a joint work in progress with him and Daichi Takeuchi.
