Orbifold zeta functions for dual invertible polynomials (1407.0154v1)

Abstract: An invertible polynomial in $n$ variables is a quasihomogeneous polynomial consisting of $n$ monomials so that the weights of the variables and the quasi-degree are well defined. In the framework of the construction of mirror symmetric orbifold Landau--Ginzburg models, P.~Berg-lund, T.~H\"ubsch and M.~Henningson considered a pair $(f,G)$ consisting of an invertible polynomial $f$ and an abelian group $G$ of its symmetries together with a dual pair $(\widetilde{f}, \widetilde{G})$. Here we study the reduced orbifold zeta functions of dual pairs $(f,G)$ and $(\widetilde{f}, \widetilde{G})$ and show that they either coincide or are inverse to each other depending on the number $n$ of variables.
