Holomorphic connections found on Riemann surfaces with Fuchsian monodromy.

Study Alexander invariants and cohomology jump loci in group extensions with trivial monodromy.

A groupoid is a small category in which each morphism has an inverse. A topological groupoid is a groupoid in which both sets of objects and morphisms have topologies such that all groupoid structure maps are continuous. The notion of monodromy groupoid of a topological groupoid generalises those of fundamental groupoi…

We show that the Hamiltonian Lagrangian monodromy group, in its homological version, is trivial for any weakly exact Lagrangian submanifold of a symplectic manifold. The proof relies on a sheaf approach to Floer homology given by a relative Seidel morphism.

Study on Milnor fibrations of arrangements with trivial algebraic monodromy.

Paper constructs connections on curves with specific Galois groups.

We study Milnor fibers of complexified real line arrangements. We give a new algorithm computing monodromy eigenspaces of the first cohomology. The algorithm is based on the description of minimal CW-complexes homotopic to the complements, and uses the real figure, that is, the adjacency relations of chambers. It enabl…

Derives the derivative of the Riemann-Hilbert map for surface connections.

The study constructs differential systems on Riemann surfaces and explores their monodromy properties.

We give a topological and geometrical description of focus-focus singularities of integrable Hamiltonian systems. In particular, we explain why the monodromy around these singularities is non-trivial, a result obtained before by J.J. Duistermaat and others for some concrete systems.

The paper bounds the first Betti number and discusses properties of Lefschetz fibrations.

Study on four-dimensional Dehn twists and Milnor fibrations, revealing new phenomena.

Handles decompositions reveal new open book structures.

In this article, we generalize the classification of genus one Lefschetz fibrations to genus one simplified broken Lefschetz fibrations, which have fibers of genera one and zero. We classify genus one Lefschetz fibrations over the 2-disk with certain non-trivial global monodromies using chart descriptions, and identify…

For a generic degree d smooth map f: N^n -> M^n we introduce its "transverse fundamental group" π(f), which reduces to π_1(M) in the case where f is a covering, and in general admits a monodromy homomorphism π(f) -> S_{|d|}; nevertheless, we show that π(f) can be non-trivial already for rather simple degree 1 maps S^n …

A locally conformally Kaehler (l.c.K.) manifold is a complex manifold admitting a Kaehler covering $\tilde M$, with each deck transformation acting by Kaehler homotheties. A compact l.c.K. manifold is Vaisman if it admits a holomorphic flow acting by non-trivial homotheties on $\tilde M$. We prove a structure theorem f…

We review the Reshetikhin-Turaev approach to construction of non-compact knot invariants involving R-matrices associated with infinite-dimensional representations, primarily those made from Faddeev's quantum dilogarithm. The corresponding formulas can be obtained from modular transformations of conformal blocks as thei…

Finite vector bundles over complex manifolds are trivializable via finite covers.

A locally conformally Kaehler (LCK) manifold is a complex manifold admitting a Kaehler covering M, with monodromy acting on M by Kaehler homotheties. A compact LCK manifold is Vaisman if it admits a holomorphic flow acting by non-trivial homotheties on M. We prove a non-Kaehler analogue of Kodaira embedding theorem: an…

Let $M$ be a closed, oriented, connected 3--manifold and $(B,π)$ an open book decomposition on $M$ with page $Σ$ and monodromy $\varphi$. It is easy to see that the first Betti number of $Σ$ is bounded below by the number of $S^2\times S^1$--factors in the prime factorization of $M$. Our main result is that equality is…

This work is devoted to a systematic study of symplectic convexity for integrable Hamiltonian systems with elliptic and focus-focus singularities. A distinctive feature of these systems is that their base spaces are still smooth manifolds (with boundary and corners), similarly to the toric case, but their associated in…

Positive braids linked to knot invariants and geometric monodromy groups.

We show that a variety of monodromy phenomena arising in geometric topology and algebraic geometry are most conveniently described in terms of quandle homomorphisms from a knot quandle associated to the base to a quandle associated to a fiber. We consider the cases of the monodromy of a branched covering, braid monodro…

New conditions found for hyperbolic bicycle tracks.

Let $E$ be a closed set in the Riemann sphere $\widehat{\mathbb{C}}$. We consider a holomorphic motion $φ$ of $E$ over a complex manifold $M$, that is, a holomorphic family of injections on $E$ parametrized by $M$. It is known that if $M$ is the unit disk $Δ$ in the complex plane, then any holomorphic motion of $E$ ove…

Characterizes conical angles for metrics with dihedral symmetry.

The geometric monodromy of a plane curve singularity is a quasi-finite diffeomorphism. In this paper we locate the reduction curves of the geometric monodromy and the quadratic vanishing cycles of the singularity. An application to the geometric monodromy group is given.

For any topological groupoid G and any homomorphism from a locally compact Hausdorff topological group K to G, we construct an associated monodromy group. We prove that Morita equivalent topological groupoids have the same monodromy groups. We show how the monodromy groups can be used to test if a Lie groupoid lacks fa…

Study of monodromy and vanishing cycles for complete intersection curves.

In this work we describe a method to reconstruct the braid monodromy of the preimage of a curve by a Kummer cover. This method is interesting, since it combines two techniques, namely, the reconstruction of a highly non-generic braid monodromy with a systematic method to go from a non-generic to a generic braid monodro…

The paper studies the index of a specific monodromy for origamis in a particular stratum.

Polynomials with distinct critical values have braid monodromy groups equal to braid groups.

Let $E$ be a holomorphic vector bundle. Let $θ$ be a Higgs field, that is a holomorphic section of $End(E)\otimesΩ^{1,0}_X$ satisfying $θ^2=0$. Let $h$ be a pluriharmonic metric of the Higgs bundle $(E,θ)$. The tuple $(E,θ,h)$ is called a harmonic bundle. Let $X$ be a complex manifold, and $D$ be a normal crossing divi…

Classical elasticity is concerned with bodies that can be modeled as smooth manifolds endowed with a reference metric that represents local equilibrium distances between neighboring material elements. The elastic energy associated with a configuration of a body in classical elasticity is the sum of local contributions …

The monodromy conjecture states that every pole of the topological (or related) zeta function induces an eigenvalue of monodromy. This conjecture has already been studied a lot; however, in full generality it is proven only for zeta functions associated to a polynomial in two variables. In this article we consider zeta…

We consider spaces of plane curves in the setting of algebraic geometry and of singularity theory. On one hand there are the complete linear systems, on the other we consider unfolding spaces of bivariate polynomials of Brieskorn-Pham type. For suitable open subspaces we can define the bifurcation braid monodromy takin…

Arithmetic Kontsevich-Zorich monodromy found in a specific origami surface.

We outline the construction of the holonomy groupoid of a locally Lie groupoid and the monodromy groupoid of a Lie groupoid. These specialise to the well known holonomy and monodromy groupoids of a foliation, when the groupoid is just an equivalence relation.
