On `maximal' poles of zeta functions, roots of b-functions and monodromy jordan blocks

The main objects of this study are the poles of several local zeta functions: the Igusa, topological, and motivic zeta function associated to a polynomial or (germ of) holomorphic function in n variables. We are interested in poles of maximal possible order n. In all known cases (curves, non-degener...

Resumo:The main objects of this study are the poles of several local zeta functions: the Igusa, topological, and motivic zeta function associated to a polynomial or (germ of) holomorphic function in n variables. We are interested in poles of maximal possible order n. In all known cases (curves, non-degenerate polynomials) there is at most one pole of maximal order n, which is then given by the log canonical threshold of the function at the corresponding singular point. For an isolated singular point we prove that if the log canonical threshold yields a pole of order n of the corresponding (local) zeta function, then it induces a root of the Bernstein-Sato polynomial of the given function of multiplicity n, (proving one of the cases of the strongest form of a conjecture of Igusa-Denef-Loeser). For an arbitrary singular point, we show under the same assumption that the monodromy eigenvalue induced by the pole has 'a Jordan block of size n on the (perverse) complex of nearby cycles'.
