Geometric determination of the Poles of Highest and second Highest order of Hodge And motivic Zeta functions

Abstract

AbstractTo any f ∈ ℂ[x1, … ,xn] \ ℂ with f(0) = 0 one can associate the motivic zeta function. Another interesting singularity invariant of f-1{0} is the zeta function on the level of Hodge polynomials, which is actually just a specialization of the motivic one. In this paper we generalize for the Hodge zeta function the result of Veys which provided for n = 2 a complete geometric determination of the poles. More precisely we give in arbitrary dimension a complete geometric determination of the poles of order n − 1 and n. We also show how to obtain the same results for the motivic zeta function.
