Example 2.6 (Nodal fibration).
This example is the topological model for the fibration over a point of in the case . Let be the unit disc in and . Let be a -bundle with monodromy generated by . We can use Proposition 2.4 to compactify as follows. The monodromy invariant cycle, , induces a fibre preserving action, with . The quotient modulo this action yields an -bundle . One can verify that extends to an -bundle , where . Furthermore . Then Proposition 2.4 ensures that compactifies to a manifold and that there is a proper map extending . Defining as the projection map, we obtain a fibration extending . The only singular fibre, , is homeomorphic to after is collapsed to . We denote this fibre by , following Kodaira’s notation for singular fibres of elliptic fibrations. In Hamiltonian mechanics, a Lagrangian fibration with this topology is known as a focus-focus fibration.
