On meromorphic continuation of local zeta functions

We investigate meromorphic continuation of local zeta functions and properties of their poles. In the real analytic case, local zeta functions can be meromorphically continued to the whole complex plane and, moreover, properties of the poles have been precisely investigated. However, in the only smooth case, the situation of meromorphic continuation is very different. Actually, there exists an example in which a local zeta function has a singularity different from poles. We give a sufficient condition for that the first finitely many poles samely appear as in the real analytic case and exactly investigate properties of the first pole.
