Poles of the topological zeta function for plane curves and Newton polyhedra (Q1022300): Difference between revisions

In 1992, \textit{J. Denef} and \textit{F. Loeser} [J. Am. Math. Soc. 5, No. 4, 705--720 (1992; Zbl 0777.32017)] introduced the topological zeta function \(Z_{\mathrm{top},f}\) of a holomorphic germ \(f:(\mathbb C^n,0)\to (\mathbb C,0)\). This function can be computed from an embedded resolution of singularities of the germ \(f\). If \(f\) is a non-degenerate function, then it is possible to compute \(Z_{\mathrm{top},f}\) from the Newton polyhedron of \(f\) (see the article of Denef and Loeser cited before and the article of \textit{W. Veys} [Manuscr. Math. 87, No. 4, 435--448 (1995; Zbl 0851.14012)]). Both ways give rise to a set of candidate poles of \(Z_{\mathrm{top},f}\), containing all poles. In this note, the authors show how to determine from the Newton polyhedron of a non-degenerate plane curve which candidate poles are actual poles.
