Classification of rational unicuspidal curves with two Newton pairs

Abstract

Based on Tiankai Liu's PhD thesis (MIT, 2014), we give a complete classification of local topological types of singularities with two Newton pairs on rational unicuspidal complex projective plane curves. We show that all but two possible local types on Liu's list are realizable by the work of H. Kashiwara, M. Miyanishi, T. Sugie, T. Fenske, K. Tono and S. Y. Orevkov.
