The Strong Monodromy Conjecture for local motivic zeta functions

About 2 years old · traced to

Let f:X⟶Cf: X \longrightarrow \mathbb{C} be a non-constant regular function and let x∈Xx \in X. Denote by Zmot,x(f;s)Z_{\textnormal{mot}, x}(f; s) the local motivic zeta function and by bf,x(s)b_{f, x}(s) the local Bernstein–Sato polynomial. Strong Monodromy Conjecture. If s0s_0 is a pole of Zmot,x(f;s)Z_{\textnormal{mot}, x}(f; s), then s0s_0 is a root of bf,x(s)b_{f, x}(s), and the order of the pole is at most its multiplicity as a root of bf,x(s)b_{f, x}(s). The first assertion is known for plane curves by Loeser's work, whereas the multiplicity assertion is the stronger remaining prediction in general.
