On the monodromy of Milnor open books

Authors: SELMA ALTINOK BHUPAL, MOHAN LAL BHUPAL

Abstract: We present some techniques that can be used to factorize the monodromy of certain Milnor open books. We also describe a class of Milnor open books for which we can explicitly express the monodromy as a product of Dehn twists.

Keywords: Canonical contact structures, surface singularities, Milnor open books, monodromy
