Monodromy

We introduce meromorphic nearby cycle functors and study their functorial properties. Moreover we apply them to monodromies of meromorphic functions in various situations. Combinatorial descriptions of their reduced Hodge spectra and Jordan normal forms will be obtained.

The complex projective structures considered is this article are compact curves locally modeled on $\mathbb{CP}^1$. To such a geometric object, modulo marked isomorphism, the monodromy map associates an algebraic one: a representation of its fundamental group into $\operatorname{PGL}(2,\mathbb{C})$, modulo conjugacy. This correspondence is neither surjective nor injective. Nonetheless, it is a local diffeomorphism [Hejhal, 1975]. We generalize this theorem to projective struc...

Let f be a hypersurface surface local singularity whose zero set has 1-dimensional singular locus. We develop an explicit procedure that provides the boundary of the Milnor fibre of f as an oriented plumbed 3-manifold. The method provides the characteristic polynomial of the algebraic monodromy as well. Moreover, for any analytic germ g such that the pair (f,g) is an isolated complete intersection singularity, the (multiplicity system of the) open book decomposition of the bo...

In a previous paper the authors elaborated notions and technique which could be applied to compute such invariants of polynomials as Euler characteristics of fibres and zeta-functions of monodromy transformations associated with a polynomial. Some crucial basic properties of the notions related to the topology of meromorphic germs were not discussed there. This has produced some lack of understanding of the general constructions. The aim of this note is to partially fill in t...

In this paper we present a constructive method to characterize ideals of the local ring $\mathscr{O}_{\mathbb{C}^n,0}$ of germs of holomorphic functions at $0\in\mathbb{C}^n$ which arise as the moduli ideal $\langle f,\mathfrak{m}\, j(f)\rangle$, for some $f\in\mathfrak{m}\subset\mathscr{O}_{\mathbb{C}^n,0}$. A consequence of our characterization is an effective solution to a problem dating back to the 1980's, called the Reconstruction Problem of the hypersurface singularity ...

This article is an overview of the vanishing cycles method in number theory over function fields. We first explain how this works in detail in a toy example, and then give three examples which are relevant to current research. The focus will be a general explanation of which sorts of problems this method can be applied to.

Let (X_R, 0) be a germ of real analytic subset in (R^N, 0) of pure dimension n+1 with an isolated singularity at 0. Let (f_R,0) : (X_R, 0) --> (R,0) a real analytic germ with an isolated singularity at 0, such that its complexification f_C vanishes on the singular set S of X_C. We also assume that X_R-[0] is orientable. To each $ A \in H^{0}(X_{\mathbb{R}} - \lbrace 0 \rbrace ,\mathbb {C}) $ we associate a $n-$cycle $ \Gamma(A) $ ("explicitly " described) in the complex Milno...

This is a survey article on $F$-singularities and their applications.

We study singular curves from analytic point of view. We give completely analytic proofs for the Serre duality and a generalized Abel's theorem. We also reconsider Picard varieties, Albanese varieties and generalized Jacobi varieties of singular curves analytically. We call an Albanese variety considered as a complex Lie group an analytic Albanese variety. We investigate them in detail. For a non-singular curve (a compact Riemann surface) $X$, there is the relation between th...

We prove that singularities with holomorphic monodromies are preserved by Hadamard product, and we find an explicit formula for the monodromy of the singularities of the Hadamard product. We find similar formulas for the e\~ne product whose monodromy is better behaved. With these formulas we give new direct proofs of classical results and prove the invariance of interesting rings of functions by Hadamard and e\~ne product.
