Monodromy of dual invertible polynomials

A generalization of Arnold's strange duality to invertible polynomials in three variables by the first author and A. Takahashi includes the following relation. For some invertible polynomials $f$ the Saito dual of the reduced monodromy zeta function of $f$ coincides with a formal “root” of the reduced monodromy zeta function of its Berglund–Hübsch transpose $f^T$. Here we give a geometric interpretation of “roots” of the monodromy zeta function and generalize the above relation to all non-degenerate invertible polynomials in three variables and to some polynomials in an arbitrary number of variables in a form including “roots” of the monodromy zeta functions both of $f$ and $f^T$.
