Abstract

In [1], Hirano gives a method for constructing families of curves with a large number of singularities. The idea is to consider an abelian covering of ℙ2 ramified along three lines in general position, and to take the pull-back of a curve C intersecting the lines non-generically. Similar constructions are used by Shimada in [10] and Oka in [8]. We apply this method for the case where C is a conic, constructing a family of curves with the following asymptotic behaviour (see [9]):

The goal of this paper is to calculate the fundamental group for the curves in this family as well as their Alexander polynomial.
