• On the Clemens-Schmid exact sequence
  There is a typo in the arXiv version: in 2.3, the Tate twist Q(-1) should have weight +2. I.e., it should be the Hodge structure of type (1, 1), as opposed to the (-1, -1) in the arXiv version. It is stated correctly in the local version above.
• Monodromy triangle for nearby cycles
  Via the octahedron axiom. I.e., without invoking any explicit constructions.
• Hodge-Grothendieck classes and monodromy invariants of nearby cycles sheaves

Jul 2025 (tomography rabbit hole)

• Quiver and standard operations for monodromic perverse sheaves on a trivial line bundle
• Dualizing complex for a manifold with boundary
• Fourier-Sato transform for monodromic mixed Hodge modules
• Nearby cycles vs specialization for conic sheaves

Aug 2022 miscellanea

• Line fields on manifolds

Sep-Dec 2021 sundries

• Homotopy limits and fixed point stacks
  More general version of `On fixed point stacks' below. A version halfway between the two is here.
• On fixed point stacks
• A remark on Ehresmann's fibration theorem
• Fixed points and Langlands parameter spaces for real groups
• Discussion around integration along the fiber
• Discussion around integration along the fiber for motivic sheaves (complex varieties)

Nothing here is intended for publication. Some of these notes will end up on the arXiv as permanent repository.
