Splitting symplectic monodromy
arXiv:2601.20438
Abstract
We discuss some examples in which symplectic monodromy (provably or conjecturally) splits off the symplectic mapping class group, hoping to illustrate different techniques and inputs to the arguments. Along the way we formulate several open questions and conjectures.
