$\pi_1$ of trigonal loci of strata of abelian differentials
Abstract
We investigate locally closed subspaces of projectivized strata of abelian differentials which classify trigonal curves with canonical divisor a multiple of a trigonal divisor. We describe their orbifold structure using linear systems on Segre-Hirzebruch surfaces and obtain results for their orbifold fundamental groups. Most notable among these orbifolds is the connected component $\mathbf P\mathcal H^{ev}_4(6)$, the projectivisation of the space $\mathcal H^{ev}_4(6)$ of abelian differentials on non-hyperelliptic genus $4$ curves with a single zero of multiplicity 6 providing an even spin structure. Its orbifold fundamental group is identified with the quotient of the Artin group of type $E_8$ by its maximal central subgroup.
