Über die Fundamentalgruppen Siegelscher Modulvarietäten vom Grade 2. (On the fundamental groups of Siegel modular varieties of degree 2.) (Q1078275): Difference between revisions

We show by toroidal methods that Igusa's desingularisation (and hence any desingularisation) of Satake's compactification of \(S_ 2/\Gamma_ 2(n)\) is simply-connected for \(n\geq 2\). Here \(S_ 2\) is Siegel's upper half plane of degree 2 and \(\Gamma_ 2(n)\) the congruence subgroup of level n in \(SP_ n{\mathbb{Z}}\).
