''Fundamental groups of plane curves complements''
 
I will sketch the proof of the Zariski-Van Kampen thereon and say some general results about the fundamental groups of plane curves complements. In particular, we will investigate, under what conditions, these groups are abelian. Some simple examples will be provided. And if time permits, some classical examples of Zariski and Oka will be computed.

''Alexander polynomial of complex algebraic curve''
 
I will extend the definition of Alexander polynomial in knot theory to an complex algebraic curve.
From the definition, it is clear that Alexander polynomial is an topological invariant for curves.
I will explain how the topology of a curve control its Alexander polynomial, in terms of the factors.
Calculations of some examples will be provided.
