%0 Journal Article %T A note on focus-focus singularities %A Nguyen Tien Zung %J Mathematics %D 2001 %I arXiv %X We give a topological and geometrical description of focus-focus singularities of integrable Hamiltonian systems. In particular, we explain why the monodromy around these singularities is non-trivial, a result obtained before by J.J. Duistermaat and others for some concrete systems. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0110147v1
