Quotient groups of the fundamental groups of certain strata of the moduli space of quadratic differentials

Katharine C Walker

Geometry & Topology 14 (2010) 1129–1164
Abstract

In this paper, we study fundamental groups of strata of the moduli space of quadratic differentials. We use certain properties of the Abel–Jacobi map, combined with local surgeries on quadratic differentials, to construct quotient groups of the fundamental groups for a particular family of strata.

Keywords
