Fractional Dehn Twist coefficient of monodromy of rational open book
Given an open book $(S,h)$, the fractional Dehn twist coefficient $c(h)$ in some sense measures the difference between $h$ and its Thurston representative $g$. More specifically, one can consider the ...

Monodromy action on the period domain in the Lawrence-Venkatesh paper
Let $Y\longrightarrow X$ be a smooth proper map of smooth quasiprojective schemes over $\mathbb{Z}_p$.
In Lawrence and Venkatesh's paper on Mordell-Weil, the authors consider the $p$-adic period map: $...

Some questions about $\ell$-adic monodromy
I'm stucking on the proof of the Lemma 3.12 of A p-adic analogue of Borel’s theorem.
Here $\mathcal A_{g,\mathrm K}$ is just a shimura variety defined over $\mathbb Z_p$, and full level $\ell$ ...

Etale local systems and proper base change
I am looking for a reference, or a proof, of the following statement:
Let $f:Y\longrightarrow X$ be a smooth proper map of quasiprojective $K$ schemes, and let $\overline{f}:\overline{Y}\...

Steenbrink spectral sequence and modifications of the central fibre
If $f: X \to S$ is a proper map from a complex manifold to a disc, $Y=f^{-1}(0)$ is a divisor with strictly normal crossings and the action of monodromy on $X_t=f^{-1}(t)$ for some (hence any) $t \neq ...

Which hyperbolic fibered knots have monodromy with a single singularity?
The figure eight-knot has pseudo-Anosov monodromy with no singularity. I have read that the (-2,3,7)-pretzel knot has pseudo-Anosov monodromy with a single 18-prong singularity on the boundary of the ...

A question regarding isomorphism in cohomology for moduli space of stable bundles over a compact Riemann surface
Let $N(n,k)$ denote the moduli space of stable vector bundles of rank $n$ and degree $k$ over a compact Riemann surface $X$, and let $N_0(n,k)$ denote the moduli space where we fix rank $n$ and some ...

The monodromy in the proof of Little Picard via Klein's $J$
First of all, my question is in the context of formalising proofs in the proof assistant Isabelle/HOL, so my questions are a bit guided by what material we have in the complex analysis library there.

Factorization algebras as factorizable cosheaves on the (extended) Ran Space
A basic fact in the theory of factorization algebras is that, to state it in a rough way, the exit path category of the Ran space of a topological manifold $M$ is equivalent to the category consisting ...

Recovering a family of rational functions from branch points
Let $Y$ be a compact Riemann surface and $B$ a finite subset of $Y$. It is a standard fact that isomorphism classes of holomorphic ramified covers $f:X\rightarrow Y$ of degree $d$ with branch points ...

Thurston universe gates in knots: which invariant is it?
Today I discovered this nice video of a lecture by Thurston:
https://youtu.be/daplYX6Oshc
in which he explains how a knot can be turned into a "fabric for universes". For example, the unknot ...

Tightness/Overtwistedness of genus one open book decomposition
Suppose we have an open book decomposition $(P,\phi)$ of a 3-manifold $Y$, where $P$ is a punctured torus and $\phi$ is the monodromy. We know $\phi$ can be represented by a matrix in $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})...

Nearby cycles without a function
Suppose that:
$X$ is a smooth complex algebraic variety,
$f : X \to D$ is a proper map to a small disc, smooth away from 0,
$Z_\epsilon = f^{-1}(\epsilon)$, and $Z = Z_0$.
Then there is a procedure (...

Character constructed from Kummer local system lifts to representation of algebraic torus
I'm currently reading Mar's and Springer's Character Sheaves. In Chapter 2 (Kummer local systems on tori), they provide a construction of Kummer local systems on a torus $T$ by way of the $m^{th}$ ...
