Abstract

An oriented link is called C\mathbb C-boundary if it is realizable as (B,AB)(\partial B,A\cap\partial B) where AA is an algebraic curve in C2\mathbb C^2 and BB is an embedded 44-ball. This notion was introduced by Michel Boileau and Lee Rudolph in 1995. In a recent joint paper with N.G. Kruzhilin we gave a complete classification of C\mathbb C-boundaries with at most 5 crossings. In the present paper a more regular method of construction of C\mathbb C-boundaries is proposed and the classification is extended up to 6 crossings.
