Denef–Loeser's topological monodromy conjecture

Let hh be a complex polynomial and let Ztop,0(h,s)Z_{\mathrm{top},0}(h,s) be its local topological zeta function at the origin. If s0s_0 is a pole, write it in the source's notation as s0=ν+sNs_0=\nu+sN. Denef–Loeser's topological monodromy conjecture. If s0=ν+sNs_0=\nu+sN is a pole of Ztop,0(h,s)Z_{\mathrm{top},0}(h,s), then exp(2iπ(ν/N))\exp(2i\pi(-\nu/N)) is an eigenvalue of the monodromy action at some point of h1(0)h^{-1}(0). This conjecture is a topological specialization of the motivic framework; the paper proves the motivic and topological monodromy conjectures for quasi-ordinary power series, but the general statement is not presented as solved.
