[For notations see the preceding review.]
The first section of this paper discusses the non-archimedean work of D. Meuser on the determination of the poles of I(s,$$\phi)$$ in terms of the numerical data one obtains from a Hironaka resolution of f, and ends with a partially verified conjecture on the realization of the poles as (logarithms of ) eigenvalues of the monodromy action on the cohomology groups of the vanishing cycle complex associated to f. - The second section describes the work of D. Meuser [”Meromorphic continuation of a zeta function of Weil and Igusa type”, Invent. Math. 85, 493-514 (1986; Zbl 0571.12009)] on the behaviour of $$I_ d(s,\phi)$$ where the integral is taken over $$K^ n_ d$$ $$(K_ d$$ is the unique unramified extension of K of degree d), and $$\phi$$ is the characteristic function of n copies of the ring of integers in K. The results, which are too complicated to state here, depend upon the analysis of the behaviour of the resolutions as d varies.
