Abstract: I will discuss divisibility results for (one variable) Alexander polynomials of complex hypersurface complements. I will show that for a (singular) hypersurface V in general position at infinity, the Alexander polynomials of the complement are entirely determined by the degree of the hypersurface, and by the local topological information encoded by the link pairs of singular strata of a regular stratification of V.   

Here are some directions to Northeastern University. Lake Hall can be best accessed from the entrance on the corner of Greenleaf Street and Leon Street.
