Vanishing cycles of matrix singularities

Abstract: The paper is on the vanishing topology of singular Milnor fibres of holomorphic families of arbitrary square, symmetric and skew-symmetric matrices with sufficiently many parameters. We define vanishing cycles on such fibres, prove an extended form of the Damon-Pike mu=au conjecture about the families of a special type, and make first steps towards understading of the monodromy of matrix singularities. We also prove a Lyashko-Looijenga type theorem for simple matrix families, and point out a surprising relationship between certain Shephard-Todd groups, simple odd functions and a sporadic part of the Bruce-Tari simple matrix classification.
