Complete embedded complex curves in the ball of ${\mathbb{C}}^2$ can have any topology

Abstract

In this paper we prove that the unit ball $\mathbb{B}$ of ${\mathbb{C}}^2$ admits complete properly embedded complex curves of any given topological type. Moreover, we provide examples containing any given closed discrete subset of $\mathbb{B}$.
