Suppose f= f (xo...., x,) is an analytic function defined in an open ball about 0 in IU"+ i. Assume that f (0)= 0 and that 0 is the only critical point off In B, Brieskorn studied the Gauss-Manin connection of the singularity (f-1 (0), 0). He gave an algebraic description of the connection which enabled him to prove that the eigenvalues of the monodromy of (f-1 (0), 0) are roots of unity. In this note we make a conjecture about the size of the blocks in the Jordan normal form of the monodromy. Some evidence for this conjecture has been gathered by calculating examples. This is done by computing a residue of the connection, and in fact a method for doing so is the principal result of this paper. Work by Malgrange relating the Gauss-Manin connection to asymptotic integrals [M1] and the Bernstein polynomial [M2] suggests that being able to calculate the connection may be quite useful.In § 2 Brieskorn's theory is sketched. § 3 discusses the monodromy theorem and makes the conjecture mentioned above. In § 4, a basis is given with respect to which the connection has a simple pole. § 5 describes how to calculate the connection. In § 6, this method is carried out for xs+ yS+ x2y2.(This was the first polynomial to be discovered, whose monodromy has infinite order, cf.[C].) I would like to thank EV Brieskorn for much advice and many helpful discussions.
