Abstract |
|
Let be an isolated plane curve singularity with Milnor fiber of genus at least . For all such , we give an intrinsic description of the geometric monodromy group that does not invoke the notion of the versal unfolding space, and an easy criterion to decide if a given simple closed curve in the Milnor fiber is a vanishing cycle or not. With the lone exception of singularities of type and , we find that both are determined completely by a canonical framing of the Milnor fiber induced by the Hamiltonian vector field associated to . As a corollary we answer a question of Sullivan concerning the injectivity of monodromy groups for all singularities having Milnor fiber of genus at least . |
