Abstract: I construct "fake algebraic curves" in $C{p}^2$. More precisely, for any k>2, I construct infinitely many pairwise smoothly non-isotopic (and moreover not ambient diffeomorphic) smooth surfaces $FsubsetC{p}^2$ homeomorphic to a non-singular algebraic curve of degree 2k, realizing the same homology class as such a curve and having abelian fundamental group of the complement $C{p}^2-F$. This gives an answer to Problem 4.110 of Kirby's list.

Review text

The article is devoted to the construction, for any natural \(k \geq 3\), of infinitely many pairwise smoothly non-isotopic oriented smooth surfaces \(F\subset\mathbb{C} P^2\) such that \(F\) represents the class \(2k[\mathbb{C} P^1] \in H_2(\mathbb{C} P^2)\), the genus of \(F\) is equal to \((2k-1)(k-1)\), and \(\pi_1 (\mathbb{C} P^2\smallsetminus F)\) is isomorphic to \(\mathbb{Z}/2k\). The construction is based on a version of the ``rim-surgery of [\textit{R. Fintushel} and \textit{R. J. Stern}, Math. Res. Lett. 4, No. 6, 907-914 (1997; Zbl 0894.57014)]. This version is applied for knotting a surface \(F_0\) along an annulus membrane, where \(F_0=\mathbb{C} A\) is the complex point set of a nonsingular real algebraic curve \(A\) of degree \(2k\) in \(\mathbb{C} P^2\) whose real point set \(\mathbb{R} A\) consists of a nest of depth \(k\). As an annulus membrane, one can take the closure of one of \(k-1\) connected components of \(\mathbb{R} P^2\smallsetminus\mathbb{R} A\) which are homeomorphic to an annulus. To distinguish the obtained surfaces, the author proves that the double coverings of \(\mathbb{C} P^2\) ramified along these surfaces are not pairwise diffeomorphic. The proof uses the formula of [\textit{R. Fintushel} and \textit{R. J. Stern}, Invent. Math. 134, No. 2, 363-400 (1998; Zbl 0914.57015)] for Seiberg-Witten invariants of a 4-manifold after a certain surgery.
