Computing motivic zeta functions on log smooth models

Algebraic Geometry 2019-02-13 v3

Abstract

We give an explicit formula for the motivic zeta function in terms of a log smooth model. It generalizes the classical formulas for snc-models, but it gives rise to much fewer candidate poles, in general. As an illustration, we explain how the formula for Newton non-degenerate polynomials can be viewed as a special case of our results.
