On Hodge Theory of Singular Plane Curves
The dimensions of the graded quotients of the cohomology of a plane curve
complement with respect to the Hodge filtration are described in terms of
simple geometrical invariants. The case of curves with ordinary singularities
is discussed in detail
On the topology of some quasi-projective surfaces
Let be surface with isolated singularities in the complex projective
space and let denote the smooth part of . In this note we discuss
some aspects of the topology of such quasi-projective surfaces : the
fundamental groups and the associated Galois coverings, the second homotopy
groups and the mixed Hodge structure on the first cohomology group.Comment: version 2 contains new examples and many new references following
suggestions by Ciro Ciliberto and De-Qi Zhan
Some analogs of Zariski's Theorem on nodal line arrangements
For line arrangements in P^2 with nice combinatorics (in particular, for
those which are nodal away the line at infinity), we prove that the
combinatorics contains the same information as the fundamental group together
with the meridianal basis of the abelianization. We consider higher dimensional
analogs of the above situation. For these analogs, we give purely combinatorial
complete descriptions of the following topological invariants (over an
arbitrary field): the twisted homology of the complement, with arbitrary rank
one coefficients; the homology of the associated Milnor fiber and Alexander
cover, including monodromy actions; the coinvariants of the first higher
non-trivial homotopy group of the Alexander cover, with the induced monodromy
action.Comment: Published by Algebraic and Geometric Topology at
