Milnor monodromies and mixed Hodge structures for non-isolated hypersurface singularities (Q1631011)

It is well known that the Milnor monodromies of complex hypersurface singularities are important subjects in singularity theory. For isolated hypersurface singular points, there exist algorithms or formulas to compute them. However, for non-isolated singular points, there still remain some difficulties in computing them explicitly. The aim of this paper is to study the Milnor monodromies of non-isolated hypersurface singularities and to show that the reduced cohomology groups of the Milnor fibers are concentrated in the middle degree for some eigenvalues of the monodromies. More precisely the author shows that even for non-isolated singular points, the generalized eigenspaces of the Milnor monodromies for good eigenvalues have some nice properties similar to those for isolated singular points. As an application of this result, the author gives an explicit formula for some parts of the Jordan normal forms of the Milnor monodromies.
