A remarkable subset of poles of the motivic zeta function
Abstract
For any polynomial f with complex coefficients we find a remarkable subset of poles of the motivic zeta function. It is combinatorially determined by any log resolution and it admits an intrinsic interpretation in terms of contact loci of f. This uncovers a new, unexpected difficulty with proving the monodromy conjecture.
