In this paper, the authors discuss constructions of examples of pairs of minimal surfaces of general type (with positive signature) which have the same Chern numbers \(c^2_1\), \(c_2\), but different fundamental groups. In their main examples of such pairs, one fundamental group can be an arbitrarily large finite abelian elementary 2-group, while the other one is trivial. These examples are obtained from Hirzebruch surfaces \(X\) specifically embedded in projective spaces by taking ``Galois covers with respect to the full symmetric group'' of their generic projections \(f:X\to \mathbb{P}^2\). The Chern numbers are calculated by Miyaoka's method, while the fundamental groups are computed from braid monodromy data around the complement of the branch curve in the plane.
