Real cohomology groups of the space of nonsingular curves of degree 5 in

arXiv:math/0105108

Abstract

We construct a modification of Vassiliev's method of calculating cohomology groups of spaces of nonsingular algebraic hypersurfaces. We use this modified method to calculate the real cohomology groups of the space of nonsingular plane quintics.
