Denef, J. Multiplicity of the poles of the Poincaré series of a p-adic subanalytic set. (English) Zbl 0682.12013 Sémin. Théor. Nombres, Univ. Bordeaux I 1987-1988, Exp. No. 43, 8 p. (1988). With any subset S of \({\mathbb{Z}}_ p^ m\) (where \({\mathbb{Z}}_ p\) denotes the ring of p-adic integers) one associates formally the Poincaré series \(P_ S(T)=\sum^{\infty}_{n=0}N_{S,n}T^ n \), with \(N_{S,n}\) the number of points in the reduction of \(S\quad modulo\quad n.\) The author has shown previously that \(P_ S(T)\) is a rational function of T when S is a closed analytic subset [Invent. Math. 77, 1-23 (1984; Zbl 0537.12011)] and more generally (together with L. van den Dries) when S is subanalytic [Ann. Math., II. Ser. 128, No.1, 79-138 (1988)]. In the present paper he improves, in the subanalytic case, the upper bound for the order of the poles of \(P_ S(T)\) from \(m+1\) to m by combining the methods of the two quoted papers; in particular a result from the theory of formal languages is required.
