Monodromy of stratified braid groups, II (2403.04496v2)
Published 7 Mar 2024 in math.GT and math.GR
Abstract: The space of monic squarefree polynomials has a stratification according to the multiplicities of the critical points, called the equicritical stratification. Tracking the positions of roots and critical points, there is a map from the fundamental group of a stratum into a braid group. We give a complete determination of this map. It turns out to be characterized by the geometry of the translation surface structure on $\mathbb{CP}1$ induced by the logarithmic derivative $df/f$ of a polynomial in the stratum.
