Polynomial covering spaces and homomorphisms into the braid groups

V. L. (Vagn Lundsgaard) Hansen

Vol. 81 (1979), No. 2, 399–410
Abstract

A polynomial covering space is the zero set for a parametrized family of complex polynomials. Such covering spaces arise naturally in several contexts in the study of holomorphic mappings. There are fruitful connections between polynomial covering spaces and certain homomorphisms into the Artin braid groups. We shall establish these connections and use them to obtain an algebraic classification of the polynomial covering spaces.
