Is there a geometric model for the universal coverConsider $\tilde{X}$ of the space$X=\mathbb{CP}^2-\cup C_i$ where $X=\mathbb{CP}^2\text{-Riemann surface}$?
The$C_i$ are Riemann surface is given by $\{(x,y)\mid P(x,y) = 0\}$ for generic polynomial $P$, in local coordinatessurfaces intersecting generically.
I am looking for 2d analogyHow to compute the fundamental group of 1d situation. In 1d $\mathbb{CP}^1-\{x_i\}$ is uniformized by upper half plane without points $a_i=0,...,n$.
I think this is some well studied space, probably well covered in textbooks, I just do not know and what is the name.universal cover?
