Barlet, Complex analysis and geometry, 1-43 (1993; Zbl 0824.14002)], the author studies the filtred Gauss-Manin system associated to a singularity of a holomorphic function. He considers here the \((a,b)\)-modules as modules over the \(\mathbb{C}\)-algebra \(A:=\oplus_{n\geq 0}\mathbb{C} [[b]]_a^n\) (where \(ab=ba=a^2\)) with \(b\)-adic completion \(\widetilde A\). He shows that the Ext of two \((a,b)\)-modules are vector spaces of finite dimension, a result which is generalized to invariables in \(\S 6\).In \(\S 5\) the author gives useful constructions for defininig the notion of mixed Hodge structure on a geometric \((a,b)\)-module similar to the construction of A. Varchenko in the case of an isolated singularity”.For the entire collection see [Zbl 0869.00034].
