contents We use Hodge theory to relate poles of the Archimedean zeta function $Z_f$ of a holomorphic function $f$ with several invariants of singularities. First, we prove that the largest nontrivial pole of $Z_f$ is the negative of the minimal exponent of $f$, whose order is determined by the multiplicity of the corresponding root of the Bernstein--Sato polynomial $b_f(s)$, resolving in a strong sense a question of Mustaţă--Popa. This simultaneously generalizes a result of Loeser for isolated singularities and of Kollár--Litchin for the log canonical threshold, and improves them by accounting for the multiplicity. On the other hand, we give an example of $f$ where a root of $b_f(s)$ is not a pole of $Z_f$, answering a question of Loeser from 1985 in the negative. As a byproduct, we give a positive answer to a question of Budur--Walther in the case of the minimal exponent. In general, we determine poles of $Z_f$ from the Hodge filtration on vanishing cycles, sharpening a result of Barlet. Finally, we obtain analytic descriptions of the $V$-filtration of Kashiwara and Malgrange, Hodge and higher multiplier ideals, addressing another question of Mustaţă--Popa. The proofs mainly rely on a positivity property of the polarization on the lowest piece of the Hodge filtration on a complex Hodge module in the sense of Sabbah--Schnell.
