## Motivic exponential integrals and a motivic Thom-Sebastiani theorem.(English)Zbl 0966.14015

The authors give a motivic meaning of the Thom-Sebastiani theorem which states that the monodromy of the sum $$f(x)+g(y)$$ of two germs of analytic functions is isomorphic to the product of the monodromies of each of the germs. This theorem relies on the product formula $$\int \exp(t(f\oplus g)) = \int \exp(t(f))\int \exp(t(g))$$ for which the authors give a motivic integration analog. The theory of motivic integration was developed in earlier papers of the authors [J. Algebr. Geom. 7, 505-537 (1998; Zbl 0943.14010); Invent. Math. 135, 201-232 (1999; Zbl 0928.14004)].
