Abstract:

Fundamental groups of Milnor fibers of some minimally elliptic singularities are computed via globalizations of smoothings. A conjecture of Looijenga-Wahl is verified for triangle singularities, which states that embedding dimension at most seven implies that any smoothing has simply-connected Milnor fiber.
