Coxeter elements for vanishing cycles of types A_ 1 2 and D_ 1 2

Abstract: We introduce two entire functions

f_{A_{1 / 2 i n f t y}}

and

f_{D_{1 / 2 i n f t y}}

in two variables. Both of them have only two critical values 0 and 1, and the associated maps

C^{2} t o C

define topologically locally trivial fibrations over

C s e t m i n u s 0, 1

. All critical points are ordinary double points, and the associated vanishing cycles span the middle homology group of the general fiber, whose intersection diagram forms bi-partitely decomposed quivers of type

A_{1 / 2 i n f t y}

and

D_{1 / 2 i n f t y}

, respectively. Coxeter elements of type

A_{1 / 2 i n f t y}

and

D_{1 / 2 i n f t y}

, acting on the middle homology group, are introduced as the product of the monodromies around 0 and 1. We describe the spectra of the Coxeter elements by embedding the middle homology group into a Hilbert space. The spectra turn out to be strongly continuous on the interval

(- 1 / 2, 1 / 2)

except at 0 for type

D D

.

Review text

For a simple hypersurface singularity (of type ADE) the Dynkin graph can be constructed from a (real) morsification (in two variables) with only two critical values, and the Coxeter element is the product of the two monodromies around 0 and 1. The author defines entire functions of type \(A_{\frac12 \infty}\) and \(D_{\frac12 \infty}\) with infinitely many critical points, which have similar properties. The functions are \(1-\cos^2\sqrt x-y^2\) and \(1-\cos^2\sqrt x-xy^2\). Their vanishing lattices can be found by explicit calculations. The author determines the spectrum of the Coxeter element, acting on the completion of the complexification of the lattice (this is a separable Hilbert space). It turns out to be strongly continuous on the interval \((-\frac12,\frac12)\) except at \(0\) for type \(D_{\frac12 \infty}\).
