We prove the following results concerning the first Betti numbers of abelian coverings of CP2 branched over line configurations: (1) An estimate of the first Betti numbers. (2) A characterization of central and general position line configurations in terms of the first Betti numbers of abelian coverings. (3) The first Betti numbers of the abelian coverings of the real line configurations up to 7 components.

AbstractIn this note we study curves (arrangements) in the complex projective plane which can be considered as generalizations of free curves. We construct families of arrangements which are nearly free and possess interesting geometric properties. More generally, we study 3-syzygy curve arrangements and we present examples that admit unexpected curves.

This paper investigates the ‘general position’ properties which ANR's may possess. The most important of these is the disjoint discs property of Cannon (5), which plays a vital role in recent striking characterizations of manifolds (5, 9, 12, 18, 19, 22). Also considered are the property Δ of Borsuk(2) (which ensures an abundance of dimension-preserving maps), and the vanishing of local homology groups up to a given dimension (cf. (9)). Our main results give relations between these properties, and clarify their behaviour under the stabilization operation of taking cartesian product with the real line. In the last section these results are applied to give partial solutions to questions about homogeneous ANR's.

This chapter focuses on spectral sequences. The spectral sequence is a powerful computational tool in the theory of fiber bundles. First introduced by Jean Leray in the 1940s, it was further refined by Jean-Louis Koszul, Henri Cartan, Jean-Pierre Serre, and many others. The chapter provides a short introduction, without proofs, to spectral sequences. As an example, it computes the cohomology of the complex projective plane. The chapter then details Leray's theorem. A spectral sequence is like a book with many pages. Each time one turns a page, one obtains a new page that is the cohomology of the previous page.

Abstract We exhibit an infinite family of rational homology balls, which embed smoothly but not symplectically in the complex projective plane. We also obtain a new lattice embedding obstruction from Donaldson’s diagonalization theorem and use this to show that no two of our examples may be embedded disjointly.

AbstractIn this paper we study the topology of the space of harmonic maps from S2 to ℂℙ2.We prove that the subspaces consisting of maps of a fixed degree and energy are path connected. By a result of Guest and Ohnita it follows that the same is true for the space of harmonic maps to ℂℙn for n ≥ 2. We show that the components of maps to ℂℙ2 are complex manifolds.

Real hypersurfaces satisfying the conditionϕl=lϕ(l=R(·,ξ)ξ)have been studied by many authors under at least one more condition, since the class of these hypersurfaces is quite tough to be classified. The aim of the present paper is the classification of real hypersurfaces in complex projective planeCP2satisfying a generalization ofϕl=lϕunder an additional restriction on a specific function.

We give a brief survey of the so-called Fenchel's problem for the projective plane, that is the problem of existence of finite Galois coverings of the complex projective plane branched along a given divisor and prove the following result: Let p, q be two integers greater than 1 and C be an irreducible plane curve. If there is a surjection of the fundamental group of the complement of C into a free product of cyclic groups of orders p and q, then there is a finite Galois covering of the projective plane branched along C with any given branching index.
