Denef–Sargos polar multiplicity conjecture for stable faces

Let ff be a singular complex analytic germ at 0Cn0\in\mathbb{C}^{n} with f(0)=0f(0)=0, and let φ\varphi be a Schwarz function on Cn\mathbb{C}^{n} with sufficiently small support and φ(0)0\varphi(0)\neq 0. Let Z(s)Z(s) be the complex local zeta function associated to ff and φ\varphi, let s0Zs_{0}\notin\mathbb{Z}, and let τ0\tau_{0} be the relevant face of the Newton polyhedron. The polar multiplicity of Z(s)Z(s) at s0s_{0} is the order of its pole there, and τ0\tau_{0} is a stable face when it satisfies the stability condition of Denef and Sargos. Denef–Sargos polar multiplicity conjecture. The polar multiplicity of Z(s)Z(s) at s0s_{0} equals ρ\rho if and only if τ0\tau_{0} is a stable face. The source presents this as the complex stability conjecture; no resolution is supplied in the excerpt.
