Bernstein--Sato ideals might not be linear

Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: Let $F=(f_1,\dots,f_r)$ be a family of nonzero polynomials on $\mathbb C^n$. More than ten years ago, Budur conjectured that $B_F$, the Bernstein--Sato ideal of $F$, is generated by products of linear polynomials with rational coefficients. With the aid of AI, we construct two counterexamples to Budur's conjecture. The examples indicate that main results in [Wu26] provide the optimal linearity properties that the zero locus of Bernstein-Sato ideals satisfies in general.
