Monodromy eigenvalues and zeta functions with differential forms

Abstract

For a complex polynomial or analytic function f, one has been studying intensively its so-called local zeta functions or complex powers; these are integrals of |f|^{2s}w considered as functions in s, where the w are differential forms with compact support. There is a strong correspondence between their poles and the eigenvalues of the local monodromy of f. In particular Barlet showed that each monodromy eigenvalue of f is of the form exp(a2i\pi), where a is such a pole. We prove an analogous result for similar p-adic complex powers, called Igusa (local) zeta functions, but mainly for the related algebro-geometric topological and motivic zeta functions.
