Monodromy of plane curves and quasi-ordinary surfaces

We develop recursive formulas for the horizontal and vertical monodromies of a quasi-ordinary surface. These are monodromies associated to the Milnor fiber of a slice transverse to a component of the singular locus. In the course of working out these recursions, we have discovered what appears to be a new way to express the monodromy associated to the Milnor fibration of a singular plane curve.

Canonical Resolution of a Quasi-ordinary Surface Singularity

We describe the embedded resolution of a quasi-ordinary surface singularity (V,p) which results from applying the canonical resolution of Bierstone-Milman to (V,p). We show that this process depends solely on the characteristic pairs of (V,p), as predicted by Lipman. We describe the process explicitly enough that a resolution graph for (V,p) could in principle be obtained by computer using only the characteristic pairs.
