Realizability of a braid monodromy by an algebraic function in a disk

by S.Yu. Orevkov

A braid is called algebraic if it is conjugated to the local braid of an algebraic function at a singular point. It is shown that any homomorphism of a free group into a braid group which takes each generator to an algebraic braid, can be realized as the braid monodromy of an algebraic function in a disk.
