DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/FOTR/32/">Mi
 nimal exponents of hypersurfaces and a conjecture of Teissier</a>\nby Mirc
 ea Mustata (University of Michigan) as part of Fellowship of the Ring\n\n\
 nAbstract\nThe minimal exponent of a hypersurface is an invariant of singu
 larities defined via the Bernstein-Sato polynomial.  It is a refinement of
  the log canonical threshold (a fundamental invariant in birational geomet
 ry)\, that can be used to measure rational singularities. In the first  pa
 rt of the talk I will give an introduction to these and related invariants
 . The second part of the talk will describe joint work with Eva Elduque an
 d Bradley Dirks on a conjecture of Teissier\, relating the minimal exponen
 t of a hypersurface with that of a hyperplane section.\n
