Fractional monodromy: parallel transport of homology cycles (Q2482647): Difference between revisions

Given a completely integrable system, the momentum map is a projection of a torus bundle outside the singular locus. This bundle is determined by a fibration by invariant tori of the system. The singular locus is a subset of the image of the momentum map which may be very complicated. If its complement is non-simply-connected we have the monodromy map for every nontrivial loop. This map is given by a parallel transport of invariant tori along the loop. However the singular locus may contain codimension one submanifolds and in some special cases it is possible and necessary for applications to define the (nonclassical) parallel transport through such submanifolds. In the present paper the author gives a precise meaning to the nonclassical parallel transport of special types of singularities of the momentum map, shows that it is well defined on homology cycles and demonstrates this procedure by examples.
