The Monodromy Conjecture for motivic zeta functions

Let fC[x]Cf\in \mathbb C[\bm x]\setminus \mathbb C and let Z(f)Z(f) denote its zero locus. For a region WW and the motivic zeta function Zf,Wmot(s)Z_{f,W}^{\mathrm{mot}}(s), let bf(s)b_f(s) be the Bernstein–Sato polynomial of ff. A pole s0s_0 of Zf,Wmot(s)Z_{f,W}^{\mathrm{mot}}(s) is also required to satisfy the following two conditions.

Monodromy Conjecture. If s0s_0 is a pole of Zf,Wmot(s)Z_{f,W}^{\mathrm{mot}}(s), then (ss0)bf(s)(s-s_0)\mid b_f(s), and es02π1e^{s_0\cdot 2\pi \sqrt{-1}} is an eigenvalue of a local monodromy at some neighborhoods of points in Z(f)WZ(f)\cap W.

This conjecture connects poles of motivic zeta functions with roots of Bernstein–Sato polynomials and eigenvalues of local monodromy. Its status is not established by the supplied source context.
