On fundamental groups related to degeneratable surfaces: conjectures and examples
Michael Friedman, Mina Teicher
We argue that for a smooth surface S, considered as a ramified cover over the projective plane branched over a nodal-cuspidal curve B one could use the structure of the fundamental…
On ramified covers of the projective plane I: Segre's theory and classification in small degrees, with Appendix by Eugenii Shustin
Michael Friedman, Maxim Leyenson
We study ramified covers of the projective plane. Given a smooth projective surface S and a generic enough projection of S to the projective plane, we get a cover of the plane rami…
On non Fundamental Group Equivalent Surfaces
Michael Friedman, Mina Teicher
In this paper we present an example of two polarized K3 surfaces which are not Fundamental Group Equivalent (their fundamental groups of the complement of the branch curves are not…
On fundamental groups related to the Hirzebruch surface F_1
Michael Friedman, Mina Teicher
Given a projective surface and a generic projection to the plane, the braid monodromy factorization (and thus, the braid monodromy type) of the complement of its branch curve is on…
The Regeneration Of A 5-Point
Michael Friedman, Mina Teicher
The braid monodromy factorization of the branch curve of a surface of general type is known to be an invariant that completely determines the diffeomorphism type of the surface. Ca…
