Abstract
We consider a mixed Hodge module M on a normal surface singularity (X,x) and a holomorphic function germ f:(X,x) → (C,0). For the case that M has an abelian local monodromy group, we give a formula for the spectral pairs of f with values in M. This result is applied to generalize the Sebastiani-Thom formula and to describe the behaviour of spectral pairs in series of singularities.
