Local systems on analytic germ complements (Q728243): Difference between revisions

The classical Monodromy Theorem states that the eigenvalues of the monodromy on the cohomology of the Milnor fiber of a germ of a holomorphic function are roots of unity. The authors generalize it as follows. For a germ of a complex analytic set \((\mathcal{X},0)\subset (\mathbb{C}^n,0)\) let \(B\) be a small open ball at the origin in \(\mathbb{C}^n\) and \(U=B\backslash \mathcal{X}\); \(U\) is the small ball complement of \(\mathcal{X}\). Then the cohomology jump loci of rank one of the local systems on this complement are finite unions of torsion translates of subtori.
