The mondromy of the Lagrange Top and the Picard-Lefschetz formula
arXiv:math-ph/0111002
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to show that the monodromy of action variables of the Lagrange top and its generalizations can be deduced from the monodromy of cycles on a suitable hyperelliptic curve (computed by the Picard-Lefschetz formula).
