Denef's holomorphy conjecture for twisted topological zeta functions

Let F:(Cn+1,0)(C,0)F:(\mathbb{C}^{n+1},\mathbf{0})\to(\mathbb{C},\mathbf{0}) define a germ of an isolated hypersurface singularity. For xF1(0)x\in F^{-1}(0), let FF,x\mathcal{F}_{F,x} be the Milnor fiber and let EF\mathcal{E}_F be the set of eigenvalues of the monodromy on H~(FF,x,C)\widetilde{H}_*(\mathcal{F}_{F,x},\mathbb{C}); set EFord={ordζζEF}\mathcal{E}^{\operatorname{ord}}_F=\{\operatorname{ord}\zeta\mid\zeta\in\mathcal{E}_F\}. For a set of natural numbers E\mathcal{E}, let E\overline{\mathcal{E}} be the union of the sets of divisors of elements of E\mathcal{E}. Denef's holomorphy conjecture. If EFord\ell\notin\overline{\mathcal{E}^{\operatorname{ord}}_F} and >1\ell>1, then Ztop()(F,s)0Z^{(\ell)}_{\operatorname{top}}(F,s)_\mathbf{0} is holomorphic on C\mathbb{C} and, in fact, vanishes. This is the topological-zeta-function version of the holomorphy conjecture; the source does not indicate a general resolution.
