Proof of Theorem 3.7.

Note that if all ai=1a_{i}=1 in family Hsv​(a)H_{s}^{v}(a), then we have the original equation of HsH_{s}. On the other hand, if all ai=0a_{i}=0, then the family Hsv​(a)H_{s}^{v}(a) degenerates to the hyperbola:

Hsv​(0):={x∈Xs​(Uvϵ):sλ⁡(0)+sλ⁡(v)​xv=0}.H_{s}^{v}(0):=\{x\in X_{s}(U^{\epsilon}_{v})\ :\ s^{\lambda(0)}+s^{\lambda(v)}x^{v}=0\}.

Because Xs​(ℱq)X_{s}(\mathcal{F}_{q}), q∈Uvϵq\in U^{\epsilon}_{v}, intersect every Hsv​(a)H_{s}^{v}(a) transversally, the corresponding fibers Fq:=Hs∩Xs​(ℱq)F_{q}:=H_{s}\cap X_{s}(\mathcal{F}_{q}) and Fqv:=Hsv​(0)∩Xs​(ℱq)F_{q}^{v}:=H_{s}^{v}(0)\cap X_{s}(\mathcal{F}_{q}) are diffeomorphic.

If θ={θi}\theta=\{\theta_{i}\} denote the coordinates of the torus 𝕋\mathbb{T} and θs\theta_{s} is the phase of ss, then the fiber FqvF_{q}^{v} of Hsv​(0)H^{v}_{s}(0) is the torus

Fqv={θ∈𝕋:⟨v,θ⟩+(λ⁡(0)−λ⁡(v))​θs≡0​mod​ 2​π},F_{q}^{v}=\{\theta\in\mathbb{T}\ :\ \langle v,\theta\rangle+(\lambda(0)-\lambda(v))\theta_{s}\equiv 0\ \mathrm{mod}\ 2\pi\},

which, for a fixed ss, can be identified with the torus 𝕋v\mathbb{T}_{v} (though, see the remark below about monodromy as θs↦θs+2​π\theta_{s}\mapsto\theta_{s}+2\pi).

Similarly, the fibers Fq=Hs∩Xs​(ℱq)F_{q}=H_{s}\cap X_{s}(\mathcal{F}_{q}) and Fqw:=Hsw​(0)∩Xs​(ℱq)F_{q}^{w}:=H_{s}^{w}(0)\cap X_{s}(\mathcal{F}_{q}) for q∈Vwδq\in V^{\delta}_{w} are diffeomorphic. But FqwF_{q}^{w} can be naturally identified with the torus 𝕋/w\mathbb{T}/w, which follows from writing the equation for Hsw​(0)H_{s}^{w}(0) in the local coordinates {yi}\{y_{i}\} from Lemma 3.9:

sλ⁡(0)​y1+P1​(y2,…,yd)=0,s^{\lambda(0)}y_{1}+P_{1}(y_{2},\dots,y_{d})=0,

where P1​(y2,…,yd)P_{1}(y_{2},\dots,y_{d}) is a Laurent polynomial independent of y1y_{1}. Restricting to the fiber Xs​(q)X_{s}(q) means fixing absolute values of yi,i=2,…,dy_{i},\ i=2,\dots,d. A point on the torus 𝕋/w\mathbb{T}/w determines the phases of yi,i=2,…,dy_{i},\ i=2,\dots,d. Once yi,i=2,…,dy_{i},\ i=2,\dots,d, are fixed, there is a unique solution to the equation of Hsw​(0)H_{s}^{w}(0).

Thus, fs:Hssm→Σ\N⁡(D)f_{s}:H_{s}^{\mathrm{sm}}\rightarrow\Sigma\backslash N(D) is a torus fibration. The only thing left to check is that it has the correct monodromy.

Note that all diffeomorphisms Fq≅FqvF_{q}\cong F^{v}_{q}, q∈Uvϵq\in U^{\epsilon}_{v}, and Fq≅FqwF_{q}\cong F^{w}_{q}, q∈Vwδq\in V^{\delta}_{w}, are deformation diffeomorphisms. Hence, the transitions maps between 𝕋v\mathbb{T}_{v} and 𝕋/w\mathbb{T}/w, for q∈Uv∩Vwq\in U_{v}\cap V_{w}, are homotopic to the map fv​w:𝕋v→𝕋/wf_{vw}:\mathbb{T}_{v}\to\mathbb{T}/w. But monodromy is a homotopy invariant, hence, it has to be equal to the one given by the maps fv​wf_{vw}. This completes the proof. ∎
