Auroux, D.; Kulikov, Vik. S.; Shevchishin, V. Regular homotopy of Hurwitz curves. (English. Russian original) Zbl 1071.14507 Izv. Math. 68, No. 3, 521-542 (2004); translation from Izv. Ross. Akad. Nauk Ser. Mat. 68, No. 3, 91-114 (2004). Summary: We prove that any two irreducible cuspidal Hurwitz curves \(C_0\) and \(C_1\) (or, more generally, two curves with \(A\)-type singularities) in the Hirzebruch surface \({\mathbf F}_N\) with the same homology classes and sets of singularities are regular homotopic. Moreover, they are symplectically regular homotopic if \(C_0\) and \(C_1\) are symplectic with respect to a compatible symplectic form.
