On the Poles of Real Archimedean Zeta Functions

Abstract

This paper studies the poles of the real Archimedean zeta function for a weighted homogeneous polynomial fR[x,y]f \in \mathbb{R}[x, y] with an isolated singularity at the origin. By applying a weighted blow-up, we derive the meromorphic continuation of Zf,φZ_{f,\varphi} to Re s>1\text{Re }s > -1. This explicit expression yields a necessary and sufficient condition for a root s(1,0)s \in (-1, 0) of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial bf(s)b_f(s) to be a pole of Zf,φZ_{f,\varphi}. Unlike the complex case established by F. Loeser (1985), this condition may fail in certain obvious cases -- such as when ff is odd or even in xx, yy, or (x,y)(x, y) -- so not all such roots necessarily become poles.
