The monodromy conjecture for Bernstein–Sato polynomials

Let ff be a polynomial, let Zf,top(s)Z_{f,\operatorname{top}}(s) denote its topological zeta function, let TfT_f denote the monodromy action, and let bf(s)b_f(s) be the Bernstein–Sato polynomial of ff.

Monodromy conjecture. If s0Cs_0\in\mathbb C is a pole of Zf,top(s)Z_{f,\operatorname{top}}(s), then e2πis0e^{2\pi i s_0} is an eigenvalue of TfT_f and s0s_0 is a zero of bf(s)b_f(s).

The conjecture expresses the expected connection between poles of the topological zeta function, monodromy eigenvalues, and Bernstein–Sato roots. The source gives no evidence of a general resolution.
