Motivic nearby cycles and their monodromy at a singular point
Abstract
In this survey, we explain how to compute both the quadratic Euler characteristic of nearby cycles, and the motivic monodromy, at a quasi-homogeneous singularity. This gives, for such singularity, a quadratic refinement to the Deligne--Milnor formula in characteristic zero, and an enhancement of the Picard--Lefschetz formula to Voevodsky motives with rational coefficients.
