Igusa–Denef–Loeser motivic monodromy conjecture

At least 8 years old · documented by

Let ff define a hypersurface, let xx be a point in its domain, and let Zf,x(T)Z_{f,x}(T) be the local motivic zeta function. Write L{\mathbb L} for the Lefschetz motive and let MCμ^\mathcal{M}^{\hat{\mu}}_\mathbb{C} denote the relevant completed Grothendieck ring with profinite roots-of-unity action. A monodromy eigenvalue of ff at a point of f−1(0)f^{-1}(0) means an eigenvalue of the local monodromy on the corresponding local Milnor fiber. Igusa–Denef–Loeser motivic monodromy conjecture. There exists a finite subset SS of Z>0×Z>0{\mathbb Z}_{>0} \times {\mathbb Z}_{>0} such that

Zf,x(T)∈MCμ^[T,11−L−aTb](a,b)∈SZ_{f,x}(T) \in \mathcal{M}^{\hat{\mu}}_\mathbb{C}\left[T, \frac{1}{1-\mathbb{L}^{-a}T^b}\right]_{(a,b)\in S}

and such that for each (a,b)∈S(a,b)\in S, the value exp⁡(−2πib/a)\exp(-2\pi i b/a) is a monodromy eigenvalue of ff at some point of f−1(0)f^{-1}(0). The conjecture connects the possible motivic-zeta denominators with local monodromy eigenvalues; naive, topological and pp-adic analogues have been proved in various cases, but the motivic statement as presented here is resolved according to the supplied status.
