Title |
Monodromy groups of Kodaira fibrations |
Abstract |
A Kodaira fibration is a non-isotrivial fibration f: S –> B from a smooth algebraic surface S to a smooth algebraic curve B such that all the fibers are smooth algebraic curves. Such fibrations thus arise as complete curves inside the moduli space M_g of genus g algebraic curves. We investigate the possible connected monodromy groups of a Kodaira fibration in the case g=3 and classify which such groups can arise from a Kodaira fibration obtained as a general complete intersection curve inside a subvariety of M_3. |
