(3) A good filtration F•M by OX -coherent subsheaves of M, such that FpM · FkD ⊂ Fp+kM and such that gr• M is coherent over gr• DX ' Sym • TX . Its Tate twist is defined by M(k) = (M, F•−kM,K ⊗Q Q(k)) where Q(k) = (2πi)Q ⊂ C. For a given function f : X → C, we want to define the nearby and vanishing cycles, denoted ψf and φf , in the category of filtered regular holonomic D-modules with Q-struc...
