Classification of rational unicuspidal curves with two Newton pairs (Q519999)

\textit{J. Fernández de Bobadilla} [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc. (3) 92, No. 1, 99--138 (2006; Zbl 1115.14021)] formulated a conjecture on the local topological types of plane curve singularities of rational unicuspidal complex projective curves. They checked the conjecture for all cuspidal curves \(C\) whose compliment \(\mathbb{P}^2\setminus C\) has logarithmic dimension \(\overline\kappa\leq 1\), and also for several curves with \(\overline \kappa=2\), in fact, for all known rational unicuspidal curves. \textit{M. Borodzik} and \textit{C. Livingston} [Forum Math. Sigma 2, Article ID e28, 23 p. (2014; Zbl 1325.14047)] proved the conjecture for rational unicuspidal curves in the general case, thus obtaining a necessary condition on numerical invariants of local plane curve singularities occurring on rational unicuspidal curves. Using this condition, \textit{T. Liu} [``On planar rational cuspidal curves'', PhD. Thesis, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2014; Zbl 1358.14006)] gave a full list of possible local types with two Newton pairs. In the paper under review, it is proved that all but two types on the list are realizable. An analogous list for rational unicuspidal curves with one Newton pair is given by \textit{J. Fernández de Bobadilla, I. Luengo, A. Melle-Hernández} and \textit{A. Némehti} [J.-P. Brasselet (ed.) et al., Real and complex singularities, São Carlos workshop 2004.
