Igusa's monodromy conjecture for local zeta functions

Let ff be a non-constant polynomial in Z[x1,,xn]\mathbb{Z}[x_1,\ldots,x_n], for some n1n\geq 1, with f(0)=0f(\mathbf{0})=0. For every prime number pp, let Zf,p(s)Z_{f,p}(s) be Igusa's pp-adic zeta function of ff at 0\mathbf{0}, and let s0s_0 be a pole of this function. Let the Bernstein polynomial of ff at 0\mathbf{0} be the local Bernstein polynomial, and let Exp(2πi(s0)){\mathscr{E}\mathrm{xp}}(2\pi i\Re(s_0)) be the corresponding complex exponential. Igusa's monodromy conjecture. If pp is sufficiently large, then (s0)\Re(s_0) is a root of the Bernstein polynomial of ff at 0\mathbf{0}. In particular, Exp(2πi(s0)){\mathscr{E}\mathrm{xp}}(2\pi i\Re(s_0)) is a local monodromy eigenvalue of the complex hypersurface defined by f=0f=0. The conjecture links poles of pp-adic zeta functions to the singularities and local monodromy of the complex hypersurface. The source states that it is solved for n=2n=2 and for some special classes, including Newton non-degenerate polynomials in three variables, while the general case remains open.
