Some remarks on fibrations in complex geometry
Nobuhiro Honda, Jeff Viaclovsky
TL;DR
This paper analyzes holomorphic fibrations in complex geometry, focusing on fiber structure, discriminant loci, and monodromy, and proves a naturality property of the Leray spectral sequence under open inclusions. It derives a cohomological bound b^1(Z_y) ≤ b^1(F) for fibers over curves, with equality characterized by trivial local monodromy, and extends to conic bundles over surfaces with rational tree singularities, obtaining b^1(Z_y)=0 for all y and Euler-characteristic bounds under equidimensionality. It introduces rational tree surface singularities and leverages Leray naturality to relate discriminant geometry with cohomology and local invariant cycles, including a non-Kähler example illustrating the limits of LIC in higher dimensions. The work provides a cohesive framework linking fibration geometry, singularities, and cohomological invariants, with explicit theorems and a thorough naturality analysis of Leray sequences.
Abstract
In this article, we discuss some properties of holomorphic fibrations in the complex analytic setting.
