The Gauss-Manin system of an ICIS

Abstract

For an isolated complete intersection singularity (ICIS), we define and study its Gauss-Manin system and its associated Hodge filtration. We show the relation between the Hodge filtration and a generalized Brieskorn lattice and study conditions for the existence of a microlocal structure. Using these ideas, we relate the residue on the saturated Brieskorn lattice with a $b$-function introduced by Torrelli.
