Motivic zeta-function rationality conjecture

Let kk be a field, let XX be a variety over kk, and let Mk{\mathcal M}_k denote the relevant localization of the Grothendieck ring of varieties. Let ZmotZ_{\rm mot} be the motivic zeta series attached to XX. Motivic zeta-function rationality conjecture. The series ZmotZ_{\rm mot} is rational in Mk[[T]]{\mathcal M}_k[[T]]. This conjecture proposes rationality after passing from the Grothendieck ring to its localization, despite the preceding non-rationality result in K0(Vark)[[T]]K_0(\operatorname{Var}_k)[[T]].
