Bernstein-Sato roots for monomial ideals in positive characteristic

Abstract

Following work of Musta\c{t}\u{a} and Bitoun we recently developed a notion of Bernstein-Sato roots for arbitrary ideals, which is a prime characteristic analogue for the roots of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial. Here we prove that for monomial ideals the roots of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial (over $\mathbb{C}$) agree with the Bernstein-Sato roots of the mod-$p$ reductions of the ideal for $p$ large enough. We regard this as evidence that the characteristic-$p$ notion of Bernstein-Sato root is reasonable.
