摘要
We survey various Alexander-type invariants of plane curve complements and, in relation to a question of Serre, we emphasize certain obstructions on the type of groups that can arise as fundamental groups of complements to complex plane curves. These obstructions are then discussed on special classes of examples. In particular, we give new explicit computations of higher-order degrees of curves, which are invariants defined in a previous paper of the authors.
