3.2.4 K3 surfaces
Before considering this example let us remark that one can define integrable systems in the case of complex manifolds. More precisely, assume that is a complex manifold of complex dimension , is a holomorphic closed non-degenerate -form on , is a complex manifold of dimension and is a surjective proper holomorphic map such that generic fibers of are connected complex Lagrangian submanifolds of . With a complex integrable system one can associate a real one by forgetting complex structures on and and taking as a symplectic form on . It is easy to see that the image of the monodromy representation belongs to .
Let be a complex K3 surface equipped with a non-zero holomorphic 2-form and a holomorphic fibration such that the generic fiber of is an elliptic curve. For example, can be represented as a surface in given by a general equation of bidegree in homogeneous coordinates. Map is the projection to the second factor. Holomorphic form is given by
where denotes the Euler vector field along coordinates or . Such an elliptic fibration gives an integrable system. Namely, we set , , . Generically is a set of points in . Singularity of the affine structure near each of points is well-known in the theory of integrable systems where it is called focus-focus singularity (see e.g. [Au], [Zu]). We will discuss it in Section 6.4. Here we give a short description of this singularity. We take with the standard integral affine structure, remove the point on the horizontal axis. Then we modify the affine structure (and also the -structure!) on the ray . New local integral affine coordinates near points of this ray will be functions and (see Figure 1). The monodromy of the resulting integral affine structure around removed singular point is given by the transformation .
