Abstract

Let π: XS be a holomorphic map from a compact Kähler manifold (X,g X ) to a compact Riemann surface S. Let Σπ be the critical locus of π and let Δ  =  π(Σπ) be the discriminant locus. Let (ξ, h ξ) be a holomorphic Hermitian vector bundle on X. We determine the singularity of the Quillen metric on det Rπ*ξ near Δ with respect to g X | TX/S and h ξ.
