On the quotient of the braid group by commutators of transversal half-twists and its group actions
Mina Teicher
The group described in this paper appeared while studying fundamental groups of complements of branch curves. It turned out that a certain quotient of the braid group acts on those…
Applications of Braid Group Techniques to algebraic Surfaces, New examples
Arthur Robb, Mina Teicher
Every smooth minimal complex algebraic surface of general type, , may be mapped into a moduli space, $\MM_{c_1^2(X), c_2(X)}$, of minimal surfaces of general type, all of which…
Chern Classes of Fibered Products of Surfaces
Mina Teicher
In this paper we introduce a formula to compute Chern classes of fibered products of algebraic surfaces. For f, a generic projection to CP^2, of an algebraic surface X, we define X…
Braid Group, Algebraic Surfaces and Fundamental Groups of complements of Branch Curves
Mina Teicher
This paper will appear in the Santa Cruz proceedings. An overview of the braid group techniques in the theory of algebraic surfaces, from Zariski to the latest results, is presente…
