Higher degree Galois covers of $\mathbb{CP}^1 \times T$

Meirav Amram and David Goldberg

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 4 (2004) 841–859

Abstract

Let T be a complex torus, and X the surface 1 × T. If T is embedded in n1 then X may be embedded in 2n1. Let XGal be its Galois cover with respect to a generic projection to 2. In this paper we compute the fundamental group of XGal, using the degeneration and regeneration techniques, the Moishezon–Teicher braid monodromy algorithm and group calculations. We show that π1(XGal) = 4n2.
