Abstract
Let $Z$ be a smooth intersection of two degree $p$ Fermat hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}^n$, and let $\pi:X\rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1$ be the pencil of hypersurfaces containing $Z$. We show that the irreducible $\mathbb{Q}$ sublocal systems of $\mathbf{R}^{n-1} \pi_*\underline{\mathbb{Q} }_X$ arise from monodromy of the Galois cyclic covers of $\mathbb{P}^1$. This can be viewed as a higher degree analog of M.\ Reid's result on the correspondence between smooth intersection of two quadrics and hyperelliptic curves.
