Abstract
In this paper we present a projective degeneration of the Veronese
surface of order 3 into union of planes. Our techniques could be generalized to
Veronese surfaces of order n. In our next papers we shall use this degeneration to
compute the braid monodromy of S3 (the branch curve of the generic projection
V3 → CP2
) and the fundamental group Π1(CP2 − S3, ∗).
