Oct 29, 2015 at 9:59 comment added Mister Godfrey Can someone help me please ?
Oct 28, 2015 at 9:31 comment added Mister Godfrey i modified my question. Is it absolutely clear for everyone now ? ;-) Thank you very much

Oct 27, 2015 at 16:27 comment added YCor Sorry for being pedantic :) 1: if "simple" means "has no normal subgroup", then no group is simple 2) according to all conventions, the group with 1 element is not simple (and 1 is not a prime number).
Oct 27, 2015 at 16:00 comment added Mister Godfrey Sorry I didn't precise it above but yes. It is the group of its complement ! I hope my request is clear now...

Oct 27, 2015 at 15:46 comment added Jason Starr A hyperplane is isomorphic to $\mathbb{C}^{n-1}$, which is simply connected. Are you asking about the fundamental group of the complement of the hypersurface?
Oct 27, 2015 at 15:42 comment added Mister Godfrey The group of an hyperplane is isomorphic to Z isn't it ? And Z is not simple ! (I define the fundamental group of an hypersurface A by $\pi_1(C^n \setminus A)$)

Oct 27, 2015 at 14:01 comment added Jason Starr Okaaay . . . an affine hyperplane has trivial fundamental group so that the only normal subgroups are the trivial group and the group itself.
Oct 27, 2015 at 13:47 comment added Mister Godfrey Actually I'm looking for an example where the group is simple ie such that the only normal subgroups are the trivial group and the group itself.
Oct 27, 2015 at 13:43 comment added Jason Starr Are you asking for an example where the group is infinite and simple?
Oct 27, 2015 at 13:00 comment added Mister Godfrey The group may not necessarily be finite.
Oct 27, 2015 at 12:54 comment added Jason Starr Are you asking whether any specified finite simple group arises as the fundamental group of some analytic hypersurface?
Oct 27, 2015 at 12:48 comment added Jason Starr The group with one element is simple (sorry for being pedantic).
