On the monodromy theorem for isolated hypersurface singularities.

The author indeed admits that the phase monodromy can be arbitrary in the hydrodynamical theory - but he views it as an advantage over the conventional quantum mechanics.

These new techniques, which are of great interest in their own right, are first developed and then used to calculate the geometric monodromy groups attached to some quite specific universal families of (L-functions attached to) character sums over finite fields.

Up to now, nearly all techniques for determining geometric monodromy groups have relied, at least in part, on local information.

Move on if you don’t care about the details, but the issue is that you need to have a more subtle braiding such that the monodromy matrices that you get by doing various exchanges are non-Abelian, and that they furnish a representation of the Unitary group U (N) for an N-dimensional Hilbert space.

"generalized Sato-Tate law," and that figuring out which generalized Sato-Tate law applies to a given family amounts essentially to computing a certain complex semisimple (not necessarily connected) algebraic group, the "geometric monodromy group" attached to that family.
