The global monodromy property for K3 surfaces allowing a triple-point-free model

Abstract

Inspired by the motivic monodromy conjecture, Halle and Nicaise defined the global monodromy property for Calabi–Yau varieties over a discretely valued field. In this note, we discuss this property for K3 surfaces allowing a strict normal crossings model where no three components in the special fiber have a common intersection. The main result is that the global monodromy property holds for a K3 surface with a so-called flowerpot degeneration. It also holds for K3 surfaces with a chain degeneration under certain conditions.
