On the monodromy of the inflection points of plane curves

Algebraic Geometry 2017-03-31 v1

Abstract

We prove that the monodromy group of the inflection points of plane curves of degree dd is the symmetric group S3d(d2)\mathbb S_{3d(d-2)} for d4d\geq 4 and in the case d=3d=3 this group is the group of the projective transformations of P2\mathbb P^2 leaving invariant the nine inflection points of the Fermat curve of degree three.
