Bibliographical note

This work is a continuation of our articles “Braid group techniques
in complex geometry I, II, III.” We consider here the Veronese surface of order 3,
V3 and compute the braid monodromy of S3, the branch curve of V3 → CP2
. We
accomplish this by using the projective degeneration introduced in “Braid group
techniques III” and the algorithms introduced in “Braid group techniques I, II.”
