Abstract: Using Bogomolov-Miyaoka-Yau inequality and a Milnor number bound we prove that any algebraic annulus mathbbC∗ in mathbbC2 with no self-intersections can have at most three cuspidal singularities.


The authors prove a particular case of the following Lin and Zaidenberg conjecture which states that any algebraic curve \(V\) in \(\mathbb{C}^{2}\) with the first Betti number equal to \(r\) can have at most \(2r+1\) singular points. They prove that if \(V\) is homeomorphic to \(\mathbb{C}^{\ast }\) (in this case its first Betti number is equal to \(1\)), given in parametric form NEWLINE\[NEWLINE \begin{aligned} x =& t^{p}+a_{1}t^{p-1}+\cdots +a_{p+r}t^{-r}, \\ y =&t^{q}+b_{1}t^{q-1}+\cdots +b_{q+s}t^{-s},\end{aligned} NEWLINE\]NEWLINE \(a_{p+r}b_{q+s},\) \(p,s>0,\) then \(V\) has at most three singular points.
