Book Synopsis Abelian Coverings of the Complex Projective Plane Branched along Configurations of Real Lines by : Eriko Hironaka
Download or read book Abelian Coverings of the Complex Projective Plane Branched along Configurations of Real Lines written by Eriko Hironaka. This book was released on 1993. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work studies abelian branched coverings of smooth complex projective surfaces from the topological viewpoint. Geometric information about the coverings (such as the first Betti numbers of a smooth model or intersections of embedded curves) is related to topological and combinatorial information about the base space and branch locus. Special attention is given to examples in which the base space is the complex projective plane and the branch locus is a configuration of lines.
