A note on some fiber-integrals

Abstract: We remark that the study of a fiber-integral of the type F (s) := f =s ($\omega$/df) $\land$ ($\omega$/df) either in the local case where $\rho$ $\not\equiv$ 1 around 0 is C $\infty$ and compactly supported near the origin which is a singular point of {f = 0} in C n+1 , or in a global setting where f : X $\rightarrow$ D is a proper holomorphic function on a complex manifold X, smooth outside {f = 0} with $\rho$ $\not\equiv$ 1 near {f = 0}, for given holomorphic (n+1)--forms $\omega$ and $\omega$' , that a better control on the asymptotic expansion of F when s $\rightarrow$ 0, is obtained by using the Bernstein polynomial of the "frescos" associated to f and $\omega$ and to f and $\omega$' (a fresco is a "small" Brieskorn module corresponding to the differential equation deduced from the Gauss-Manin system of f at 0) than to use the Bernstein polynomial of the full Gauss-Manin system of f at the origin. We illustrate this in the local case in some rather simple (non quasi-homogeneous) polynomials, where the Bernstein polynomial of such a fresco is explicitly evaluate.
