Braid monodromy and fundamental groups
Presenter
March 22, 2022
Abstract
While the braid monodromy of a divisor determines a finite
presentation of the fundamental group of its complement,
there lacks a general method for its computation.
We want to give a review on ideas how to overcome these
shortcomings and to exploit additional information in case
of discriminants of isolated hypersurface singularities and
linear systems to get presentations anyway.
