Anti-Zariski pairs

Abstract

In 1929, O. Zariski found a pair of complex plane algebraic curves of the same degree and with the same collection of singularities, but embedded into the plane in a topologically different way. Accordingly, such curves belong to different components of the equisingular family. This phenomenon has been intensively studied till now. In this note, we propose a different insight on this subject: Two curves C',C''⊂PP2 form an {\it anti-Zariski pair}, if (PP2,C') and (PP2,C'') are homeomorhic, but C' and C'' belong to different components of the equisingular family. We exhibit examples of anti-Zariski pairs and discuss related issues.

AB  - In 1929, O. Zariski found a pair of complex plane algebraic curves of the same degree and with the same collection of singularities, but embedded into the plane in a topologically different way. Accordingly, such curves belong to different components of the equisingular family. This phenomenon has been intensively studied till now. In this note, we propose a different insight on this subject: Two curves C',C''⊂PP^2 form an {\it anti-Zariski pair}, if (PP^2,C') and (PP^2,C'') are homeomorhic, but C' and C'' belong to different components of the equisingular family. We exhibit examples of anti-Zariski pairs and discuss related issues.
