On the topology of the complements of reducible plane curves via Galois covers

Shinzo Bannai, Masayuki Kawashimaand, Hiro-O Tokunaga

Let $\mathcal{B}$ be a reducible reduced plane curve. We introduce a new point of view to study the topology of $(\PP^2, {\mathcal {B}})$ via Galois covers and Alexander polynom…
