On the topology of some quasi-projective surfaces

Abstract

Let XX be surface with isolated singularities in the complex projective space P3P^3 and let denote YY the smooth part of XX. In this note we discuss some aspects of the topology of such quasi-projective surfaces YY: the fundamental groups and the associated Galois coverings, the second homotopy groups and the mixed Hodge structure on the first cohomology group.
