Abstract

The main objective of this article is to study the topology of the fibers of a generic rational function of the type\(\frac{{F^p }}{{G^q }}\) in the projective space of dimension two. We will prove that the action of the monodromy group on a single Lefschetz vanishing cycle δ generates the first homology group of a generic fiber of\(\frac{{F^p }}{{G^q }}\). In particular, we will prove that for any two Lefschetz vanishing cyclesδ 0 andδ 1 in a regular compact fiber of\(\frac{{F^p }}{{G^q }}\), there exists a mondromyh such thath(δ 0)=±δ 1.
