The surface has a natural Galois cover with Galois group $S_n$. In this paper, we compute the fundamental groups of Galois covers of degree $5$ that degenerate to nice plane arrangements; each of them is a union of five planes such that no three planes meet in a line. As an application, we give a counter-example of a question of Liedtke \\cite[Question\\,3.4]{Li08}.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-10-30T07:05:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fundamental group", "nice plane arrangements", "natural galois cover", "generic projection", "branch cover" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 29, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
