In the case of d=4, using our Meyer function, we can define the local signature for 4-dimensional fiber spaces whose general fibers are non-hyperelliptic compact Riemann surfaces of genus 3. Some computations of our local signature will be given.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-10-08T07:57:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "57N13", "14D05" ], "keywords": [ "mapping class group", "meyer function", "plane curves", "local signature", "non-hyperelliptic compact riemann surfaces" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007arXiv0707.4332K" } } }
