Title: Computing characteristic cycles of local cohomology modules

Abstract:

Characteristic cycles (CCs) can be used to examine the support of holonomic D-modules, in particular, detect the vanishing. I will discuss two approaches to computation of CCs of localizations and local cohomology modules: the straightforward method that uses Grobner bases techniques in (non-commutative) Weyl algebra and a novel approach (joint work with Josep Alvarez Montaner) with computations carried out in (commutative) polynomial rings. For the former, I will recall algorithms due to Oaku, Takayama, and Walther that compute the localization of a holonomic D-module and its local cohomology. The latter will be accompanied by examples of computations of local cohomology CCs in Macaulay 2.
