Grothendieck residue in the Jacobian algebra and cup product in vanishing cohomology
Also appears in collection : Local and global invariants of singularities / Invariants locaux et globaux des singularités
The Jacobian algebra, obtained from the ring of germs of functions modulo the partial derivatives of a function $f$ with an isolated singularity, has a non-degenerate bilinear form, Grothendieck Residue, for which multiplication by $f$ is a symmetric nilpotent operator. The vanishing cohomology of the Milnor Fibre has a bilinear form induced by cup product for which the nilpotent operator $N$, the logarithm of the unipotent part of the monodromy, is antisymmetric. Using the nilpotent operators we obtain primitive parts of the bilinear form and we compare both bilinear forms. In particular, over $\mathbb{R}$, we obtain signatures of these primitive forms, that we compare.
