Abstract: Let T be a complex torus, and X the surface CP^1 x T. If T is embedded in CP^{n-1} then X may be embedded in CP^{2n-1}. Let X_Gal be its Galois cover with respect to a generic projection to CP^2. In this paper we compute the fundamental group of X_Gal, using the degeneration and regeneration techniques, the Moishezon-Teicher braid monodromy algorithm and group calculations. We show that pi_1(X_Gal) = Z^{4n-2}.


Let \(T\) be a complex torus, and \(X\) the surface \(\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^1\times T\). If \(T\) is embedded in \(\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^{n-1}\) then \(X\) may be embedded in \(\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^{2n-1}\). Let \(X_{\text{Gal}}\) be its Galois cover with respect to a generic projection to \(\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2\). In this paper the fundamental group of \(X_{\text{Gal}}\) is computed, using the Moishezon-Teicher degeneration, regeneration and the braid monodromy algorithm. It is shown that \(\pi_1(X_{\text{Gal}})= \mathbb{Z}^{4n-2}\). This is a generalization of the results of \textit{M. Amram, D. Goldberg, M. Teicher} and \textit{U. Vishne} [Algebr. Geom. Topol. 2, 403--432 (2002; Zbl 1037.14006)], where the case \(n=3\) was treated.
