Abstract

Given a polynomial with real coefficients, we produce a motivic analog of a simple identity that relates the complex conjugation and the monodromy of the Milnor fibre of its complexification. To that purpose, we introduce motivic zeta functions that take into account complex conjugation and monodromy.
