    The author considers a germ of an analytic nonconstant function \(f:(\mathbb{C}^{n+1},0)\rightarrow (\mathbb{C},0)\). The topological zeta function is an analytic, but not a topological invariant associated to this germ and a germ of an \((n+1)\)-differential form living in \((\mathbb{C}^{n+1},0)\). For plane curves, i.e. for \(f\in \mathbb{C}\{ x,y\}\), one defines the Hessian as \(\mathrm{Hess}(f):=f_{xx}f_{yy}-f_{xy}^2\). For the differential form \(\mathrm{Hess}(f)dx\wedge dy\) the author shows that it does not satisfy the monodromy conjecture, i.e., the Hessian form is not an allowed differential 2-form. The result is illustrated by the example of \(f(x,y)=y^5-2x^3y^7+x^4y^3+x^6\).
