Abstract

Let f:C2Cf:\mathbb{C}^2 \to \mathbb{C} be a polynomial map. Let C2X\mathbb{C}^2 \subset X be a compactification of C2\mathbb{C}^2 where XX is a smooth rational compact surface and such that there exists a morphism of varieties Φ:XP1\Phi :X\to \mathbb{P}^1 which extends ff. Put D=XC2\mathcal{D}=X\setminus \mathbb{C}^2; D\mathcal{D} is a curve whose irreducible components are smooth rational compact curves and all its singularities are ordinary double points. The dual graph of D\mathcal{D} is a tree. We are interested in this tree, and we analyse its complexity in terms of the genus of the generic fiber of ff.
