On motivic zeta functions and the motivic nearby fiber (Q1769032)

Let \(k\) be an algebraically closed field of characteristic \(0\) and \(X\) a smooth connected variety of dimension \(d\). Let \(f:X\to \mathbb A^1\) be a function and \(S(f)(T)\) the motivic zeta function defined by \textit{J. Denef} and \textit{F. Loeser} [J. Algebr. Geom. 7 (3), 505--537 (1998; Zbl 0943.14010)]. This zeta function is a formal power series with coefficients in a localized equivariant Grothendieck group of varieties over the zero locus of \(f\). Let \(\mathbb L\) be the class of the affine line in the Grothendieck group then the \(n\)-th coefficient of this series is given as \(\mathbb L^{-nd}\) times the class of the variety of arcs \(\gamma(t)\) of order \(n\) on \(X\) satisfying \(f\circ \gamma(t)=t^n\). Some properties of the motivic zeta functions and the motivic nearby fibre are proved. Especially the relative dual of the motivic nearby fibre is computed.
