We consider the Alexander polynomial of a plane algebraic curve twisted by a linear representation. We show that it divides the product of the polynomials of the singularity links, for unitary representations. Moreover, their quotient is…
In this paper we discuss some properties of fundamental groups and Alexander polynomials of plane curves. We discuss the relationship of the non-triviality of Alexander polynomials and the notion of (nearly) freeness for irreducible plane…
We show that the degree of the Alexander polynomial of an irreducible plane algebraic curve with nodes and cusps as the only singularities does not exceed ${5 \over 3}d-2$ where $d$ is the degree of the curve. We also show that the…
We define twisted Alexander polynomials of a complex hypersurface with arbitrary singularities. These generalize the classical Alexander polynomials of high dimensional hypersurfaces and the twisted Alexander polynomial of plane curves. We…
We complete the enumeration of the possible roots of the Alexander polynomial (both conventional and over finite fields) of a trigonal curve. The curves are not assumed proper or irreducible.
We give a short introduction to the theory of twisted Alexander polynomials of a 3--manifold associated to a representation of its fundamental group. We summarize their formal properties and we explain their relationship to twisted…
We define and study twisted Alexander-type invariants of complex hypersurface complements. We investigate torsion properties for the twisted Alexander modules and extend classical local-to-global divisibility results to the twisted setting.…
We describe symmetries of the braid monodromy decomposition for a class of plane curves defined over reals including the real curves with no real points and proving new divisibility relations for Alexander invariants of such curves.
We show how Seifert surfaces, so useful for the understanding of the Alexander polynomial \Delta_L(t), can be generalized in order to study the multivariable Alexander polynomial \Delta_L(t_1,...,t_\mu). In particular, we give an elementary…
We start with a discussion on Alexander invariants, and then prove some general results concerning the divisibility of the Alexander polynomials and the supports of the Alexander modules, via Artin's vanishing theorem for perverse sheaves.…
In this paper, we study polar quotients and \L ojasiewicz exponents of plane curve singularities, which are {\em not necessarily reduced}. We first show that the polar quotients is a topological invariant. We next prove that the \L…
In this paper, we choose the derivative polynomials for tangent and secant as basis sets of polynomial space. From this viewpoint, we first give an expansion of the derivative polynomials for tangent in terms of the derivative polynomials…
In the present paper we compute Alexander polynomials for certain classes of conic-line arrangements in the complex projective plane which are related to pencils. We prove two general results for curve arrangements coming from Halphen…
We define new higher-order Alexander modules $\mathcal{A}_n(C)$ and higher-order degrees $\delta_n(C)$ which are invariants of the algebraic planar curve $C$. These come from analyzing the module structure of the homology of certain…
We complete the proof of Oka's conjecture on the Alexander polynomial of an irreducible plane sextic. We also calculate the fundamental groups of irreducible sextics with a singular point adjacent to $J_{10}$.
We prove Libgober's divisibility relations for Oka and Alexander polynomials of symplectic curves in the complex projective plane. Along the way, we give new proofs of the divisibility relations for the Alexander polynomials of complex…
We observe the twisted Alexander polynomial for metabelian representations of knot groups into SL(2,C) and study relations to the characterizations of metabelian representations in the character varieties. We give a factorization of the…
Many mathematicians have been studying various degenerate versions of special polynomials and numbers in some arithmetic and combinatorial aspects. Our main focus here is a new type of degenerate poly-Euler polynomials and numbers. This…
We describe the Alexander modules and Alexander polynomials (both over $\Q$ and over finite fields $\FF{p}$) of generalized trigonal curves. The rational case is closed completely; in the case of characteristic $p>0$, a few points remain…
The aim of this paper is to study the degenerate Bell numbers and polynomials which are degenerate version of the Bell numbers and polynomials. we derive some new identities and properties of those numbers and polynomials that are…
