and let be a tubular neighborhood of . Take
and assume we have a stitched Lagrangian fibration
such that and the seam is .
Again we let
,
and . Also let .
This time (hence ) has three connected components
Also denote by , and the corresponding connected
components of and by , and
their quotients.
Fix and suppose that there is a basis
of
and generators of , satisfying , with respect to which the monodromy transformations are
(58)
and , for non zero integers and . We have that is represented by the orbits of the
action, since it is the only monodromy invariant cycle.
Now, since is
contractible, is
a basis of .
Consider the diagrams:
or
induced by inclusions and restrictions. The map identifies
with a basis of
, which
we call , while
identifies it with another basis, which we call
.
Notice that the monodromy map . We must have
(59)
Applying Proposition 6.5 to restricted to
, we can consider the action coordinates
map on computed with respect to on
and with respect to on .
Let us denote these coordinates by . Similarly we can
consider action coordinates on
with respect to the basis of
. We denote them
by .
We have the identifications
and
With respect to these coordinates we can compute the first order invariants
and on and respectively.
From Proposition 6.5 and identities (59)
applied to and
we obtain
and
Similarly we construct the first order invariant on .
It will satisfy
Again, monodromy is understood in terms of the difference in the
cohomology class of the first order invariant. Example 5.5
is a special case of this situation, where .
