Dihedral monodromy and Xiao fibrations

From MaRDI portal
Publication:740044




Abstract: We construct three new families of fibrations pi:SoB where S is an algebraic complex surface and B a curve that violate Xiao's conjecture relating the relative irregularity and the genus of the general fiber. The fibers of pi are certain 'etale cyclic covers of hyperelliptic curves that give coverings of P1 with dihedral monodromy. As an application, we also show the existence of big and nef effective divisors in the Brill-Noether range.
