Monodromy of projections of hypersurfaces
Keyword(s):
AbstractLet X be an irreducible, reduced complex projective hypersurface of degree d. A point P not contained in X is called uniform if the monodromy group of the projection of X from P is isomorphic to the symmetric group $$S_d$$ S d . We prove that the locus of non-uniform points is finite when X is smooth or a general projection of a smooth variety. In general, it is contained in a finite union of linear spaces of codimension at least 2, except possibly for a special class of hypersurfaces with singular locus linear in codimension 1. Moreover, we generalise a result of Fukasawa and Takahashi on the finiteness of Galois points.
