Characteristic cycles associated to holonomic $\mathscr D$-modules

Abstract

We study relative and logarithmic characteristic cycles associated to holonomic $\mathscr D$-modules. As applications, we obtain: (1) an alternative proof of Ginsburg's log characteristic cycle formula for lattices of regular holonomic $\mathscr D$-modules following ideas of Sabbah and Briancon-Maisonobe-Merle, and (2) the constructibility of the log de Rham complexes for lattices of holonomic $\mathscr D$-modules, which is a natural generalization of Kashiwara's constructibility theorem.
