The Monodromy Conjecture asserts that if c is a pole of the local topological zeta function of a hypersurface, then exp(2\pi i c) is an eigenvalue of the monodromy on the cohomology of the Milnor fiber. A stronger version of the conjecture…

For a divisor representing a function and another divisor representing a differential form on a normal surface singularity, there is a notion of motivic and topological zeta function. In this paper, given a finite morphism between two…

For any polynomial f with complex coefficients we find a remarkable subset of poles of the motivic zeta function. It is combinatorially determined by any log resolution and it admits an intrinsic interpretation in terms of contact loci of…

The main objects of study in this paper are the poles of several local zeta functions: the Igusa, topological and motivic zeta function associated to a polynomial or (germ of) holomorphic function in n variables. We are interested in poles…

We study the poles and residues of the complex zeta function $ f^s $ of a plane curve. We prove that most non-rupture divisors do not contribute to poles of $ f^s $ or roots of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial $ b_f(s) $ of $ f $. For plane…

Let $Z\subset{\bf P}^{n-1}$ be a hypersurface such that the associated reduced hypersurface $Z_{\rm red}$ has only weighted homogeneous isolated singularities. In the case $Z$ is a reduced curve or $Z_{\rm red}$ has only homogeneous…

Let $(X,x)$ be an isolated complete intersection singularity and let $f : (X,x) \to (\CC,0)$ be the germ of an analytic function with an isolated singularity at $x$. An important topological invariant in this situation is the…

Using analytic torsion associated to stable bundles, we introduce zeta functions for compact Riemann surfaces. To justify the well-definedness, we analyze the degenerations of analytic torsions at the boundaries of the moduli spaces, the…

We discuss some formulae which express the Alexander polynomial (and thus the zeta-function of the classical monodromy transformation) of a plane curve singularity in terms of the ring of functions on the curve. One of them describes the…

To a given real polynomial function f $\in$ R[x1, . . . , x d ], we associate real topological zeta functions Ztop,0(f\,; s) and Z $\pm$ top,0 (f\,; s) $\in$ Q(s), analogous to the topological zeta function of Denef and Loeser in the…

We show some examples of topological zeta functions associated to an isolated plane curve singular point and an allowed, in the sense of N\'emethi and Veys, differential form that have several poles of order two. This is in contrast to the…

For a one-parameter deformation of an analytic complex function germ of several variables, there is defined its monodromy zeta-function. We give a Varchenko type formula for this zeta-function if the deformation is non-degenerate with…

We extend the tropical intersection theory to tropicalizations of germs of analytic sets. In particular, we construct a (not entirely obvious) local version of the ring of tropical fans with a nondegenerate intersection pairing. As an…

Let X be a complete, geometrically irreducible, singular, algebraic curve defined over a field of characteristic p big enough. Given a local ring O_{P,X} at a rational singular point P of X, we attached a universal zeta function which is a…

We determine, up to exponentiating, the polar locus of the multivariable archimedean zeta function associated to a finite collection of polynomials F. The result is the monodromy support locus of F, a topological invariant. We give a…

Existence of oblique polar lines for the meromorphic extension of the current valued function $\int |f|^{2\lambda}|g|^{2\mu}\square$ is given under the following hypotheses: $f$ and $g$ are holomorphic function germs in $\CC^{n+1}$ such…

These notes give a basic introduction to the theory of $p$-adic and motivic zeta functions, motivic integration, and the monodromy conjecture.

Partial zeta functions of algebraic varieties over finite fields generalize the classical zeta function by allowing each variable to be defined over a possibly different extension field of a fixed finite field. Due to this extra variation…

We elaborate notions of integration over the space of arcs factorized by the natural $C^*$-action and over the space of non-parametrized arcs (branches). There are offered two motivic versions of the zeta function of the classical monodromy…

By using sheaf-theoretical methods such as constructible sheaves, we generalize the formula of Libgober-Sperber concerning the zeta functions of monodromy at infinity of polynomial maps into various directions. In particular, some formulas…
