Abstract: Given a projective surface and a generic projection to the plane, the braid monodromy factorization (and thus, the braid monodromy type) of the complement of its branch curve is one of the most important topological invariants, stable on deformations. From this factorization, one can compute the fundamental group of the complement of the branch curve, either in C^2 or in CP^2. In this article, we show that these groups, for the Hirzebruch surface F_{1,(a,b)}, are almost-solvable. That is - they are an extension of a solvable group, which strengthen the conjecture on degeneratable surfaces.

Review text

Given a projective surface \(X\) in some complex projective space \(\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^N\), and a generic linear projection on the complex projective plane \(\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2\), the branching locus curve \(S_X\) has only nodes and cusps as singularities. The corresponding fundamental groups \(\overline G=\pi_1(\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2 \setminus S_X)\) and \(G=\pi_1(\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2 \setminus (S_X \cup L)\) for a generic line \(L\), are important topological invariants of the embedded surface \(X\). It was conjectured by M. Teicher that these groups are in many cases extensions of a solvable group by a symmetric group. This claim is proved in this paper for a two-parameter family of embeddings of the Hirzebruch surface \(F_1\). This is done via a new general approach to the computation of the groups \(G\) and \(\overline G\).
