Motivic nearby cycles and their monodromy at a singular point
Ran Azouri
In this survey, we explain how to compute both the quadratic Euler characteristic of nearby cycles, and the motivic monodromy, at a quasi-homogeneous singularity. This gives, for s…

The Motivic Picard--Lefschetz Formula
Ran Azouri, Emil Jacobsen
We prove a motivic enhancement of the classical Picard--Lefschetz formula. Our proof is completely motivic, and yields a description of the motivic nearby cycles at a quasi-homogen…

Motivic Euler Characteristic of Nearby Cycles and a Generalized Quadratic Conductor Formula
Ran Azouri
We compute the motivic Euler characteristic of Ayoub's nearby cycles spectrum in terms of strata of a semi-stable reduction, for a degeneration to multiple semi-quasi-homogeneous s…
