Heegaard Floer Homology and Rational Cuspidal Curves

Abstract: We apply the methods of Heegaard Floer homology to identify topological properties of complex curves in CP 2 . As one application, we resolve an open conjecture that constrains the Alexander polynomial of the link of the singular point of the curve in the case that there is exactly one singular point, having connected link, and the curve is of genus zero. Generalizations apply in the case of multiple singular points.

“…The case g = 0 is excluded in Theorem 1.2: singularities of 1-unicuspidal rational curves have been classified in [5], and the result does not hold in this case. However, applying Theorem 1.1 (which, as pointed out above, is the main theorem of [3]) we can recover the four infinite families of singularities obtained in [5] (see Remarks 6.11 and 6.18). The proof of Theorem 1.2 relies almost exclusively on Theorem 1.1, except when g = 1.…”

“…By some small modifications of the argument, we are able to recover (up to finitely many candidates in a bounded region, which after working out a concrete bound, can be checked one by one by computer) the classification result of [5, Theorem 1.1] for g = 0 as well. This is particularly interesting because our method uses the semigroup distribution property of Remark 5.4 only (which, for g = 0 is a result of [3]). After finishing this manuscript, we learned that Tiankai Liu in his PhD thesis [7, Theorem 2.3] among other results also reproved this classification based on the semigroup distribution property only.…”

“…The main result of asserts that the Orevkov curves C4 and C4, which realize these HN‐types, are the only unicuspidal planar curves with complement of log general type and with one HN‐pair. Using the bounds obtained by Borodzik and Livingstone in via Heegard‐Floer homology methods, Liu [, Theorem 1.1] extended this result by describing possible types of singularities of unicuspidal curves under the assumption that they have at most two Puiseux pairs (see Section 2.4 for definitions). Those which are realized by curves with complements of log general type correspond exactly to the HN‐types OR1OR2.…”
