Content:In this series of three talks, I will present an introduction on the topology of the complements to plane algebraic curves. Especially I will explain new results on Alexander polynomials of plane curves.
Part I (18/10): Introduction to the fundamental group of the complement; Zariski-van Kampen method.
Part II (Tentative: 1/11): Alexander polynomial; Zariski pairs.
Part III (Tentative: 15/11): Fundamental groups of discriminant varieties and dual varieties.
