Almost non-degenerate functions and a Zariski pair of links (2105.03549v2)

Abstract: Let $f(\mathbf z)$ be an analytic function defined in the neighborhood of the origin of $\mathbb C^n$ which have some Newton degenerate faces. We generalize the Varchenko formula for the zeta function of the Milnor fibration of a Newton non-degenerate function $f$ to this case. As an application, we give an example of a pair of hypersurfaces with the same Newton boundary and the same zeta function with different tangent cones.
