$D$-modules, Bernstein-Sato polynomials and $F$-invariants of direct   summands
  We study the structure of $D$-modules over a ring $R$ which is a direct summand of a polynomial or a power series ring $S$ with coefficients over a field. We relate properties of $D$-modules over $R$ to $D$-modules over $S$. We show that the localization $R_f$ and the local cohomology module $H^i_I(R)$ have finite length as $D$-modules over $R$. Furthermore, we show the existence of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial for elements in $R$. In positive characteristic, we use this relation between $D$-modules over $R$ and $S$ to show that the set of $F$-jumping numbers of an ideal $I\subseteq R$ is contained in the set of $F$-jumping numbers of its extension in $S$. As a consequence, the $F$-jumping numbers of $I$ in $R$ form a discrete set of rational numbers. We also relate the Bernstein-Sato polynomial in $R$ with the $F$-thresholds and the $F$-jumping numbers in $R$.
