Abstract

We classify, up to fiberwise symplectomorphisms, a saturated neighborhood of a singular fiber of an integrable system (which is proper onto its image and has connected fibers) containing k > 1 focus-focus critical points. Our result shows that there is a one-to-one correspondence between such neighborhoods and k formal power series, up to a (ℤ₂ × D_k)-action, where D_k is the k-th dihedral group. The k formal power series determine the dynamical behavior of the Hamiltonian vector fields associated to the components of the momentum map on the symplectic manifold (M,ω) near the singular fiber containing the k focus-focus critical points. This proves a conjecture of San Vu Ngoc from 2002.
