چکیده

Let k be a field not of characteristic two and Λ be a set consisting of almost all rational primes invertible in k. Suppose we have a varietyX/k and strictly compatible system {M` → X : ` ∈ Λ} of constructible F`-sheaves. If the system is orthogonally or symplectically self-dual, then the geometric monodromy group of M` is a subgroup of a corresponding isometry group Γ` over F`, and we say it has big monodromy if it contains the derived subgroup DΓ`. We prove a theorem which gives sufficient conditions for M` to have big monodromy. We apply the theorem to explicit systems arising from the middle cohomology of families of hyperelliptic curves and elliptic surfaces to show that the monodromy is uniformly big as we vary ` and the system. We also show how it leads to new results for the inverse Galois problem.

Monodromy groups of irregular elliptic surfaces

Monodromy groups, i.e. the groups of isometries of the intersection lattice LX := H2/torsion generated by the monodromy action of all deformation families of a given surface, have been computed in [Lö’] for any minimal elliptic surface with pg > q = 0. New and refined methods are now employed to address the cases of minimal elliptic surfaces with pg ≥ q > 0. Thereby we get explicit families suc...

On the Holomorphicity of Genus Two Lefschetz Fibrations

We prove that any genus-2 Lefschetz fibration without reducible fibers and with “transitive monodromy” is holomorphic. The latter condition comprises all cases where the number of singular fibers μ ∈ 10N is not congruent to 0 modulo 40. An auxiliary statement of independent interest is the holomorphicity of symplectic surfaces in Sbundles over S, of relative degree ≤ 7 over the base, and of sym...

Congruences and Canonical Forms for a Positive Matrix: Application to the Schweinler-Wigner Extremum Principle

It is shown that a N ×N real symmetric [complex hermitian] positive definite matrix V is congruent to a diagonal matrix modulo a pseudo-orthogonal [pseudo-unitary] matrix in SO(m,n) [ SU(m,n)], for any choice of partition N = m+n. It is further shown that the method of proof in this context can easily be adapted to obtain a rather simple proof of Williamson’s theorem which states that if N is e...

Computing generators of groups preserving a bilinear form over residue class rings

We construct generators for symplectic and orthogonal groups over residue class rings modulo an odd prime power. These generators have been implemented and are available in the computer algebra system GAP.
