For a germ f on a complex manifold X, we introduce a complex derived from the Liouville form acting on logarithmic differential forms, and give an exactness criterion. We use this Liouville complex to connect properties of the D-module generated by \(f^s\) to homological data of the Jacobian ideal; specifically we show that for a large class of germs the annihilator of \(f^s\) is generated by derivations. Through local cohomology, we connect the cohomology of the Milnor fiber to the Jacobian module via logarithmic differentials. In particular, we consider (not necessarily reduced) hyperplane arrangements: we prove a conjecture of Terao on the annihilator of 1 / f; we confirm in many cases a corresponding conjecture on the annihilator of \(f^s\) but we disprove it in general; we show that the Bernstein–Sato polynomial of an arrangement is not determined by its intersection lattice; we prove that arrangements for which the annihilator of \(f^s\) is generated by derivations fulfill the Strong Monodromy Conjecture, and that this includes as very special cases all arrangements of Coxeter and of crystallographic type, and all multi-arrangements in dimension 3.
