Let p be a prime number and let K be a finite extension of Qp. Let R be the valuation ring of K, P the maximal ideal of R, and K̄ = R/P the residue field of K. Let q denote the cardinality of K̄, so K̄ ≃ Fq. For z in K, let ord z denote the valuation of z, and set |z| = q . Let f be a non constant element of K[x1, . . . , xm]. The p-adic Igusa local zeta function Z(s) associated to f (relative to ...
