Abstract.
In this talk, I will focus on applications of Heegaard Floer homology to the study of genus-g plane curves in CP2, with one cuspidal singularity: I will discuss bounds on the semigroup counting function of the singularity and show their effectiveness; I will also show examples of families of "simple" singular curves for infinitely many genera. This is joint work with József Bodnar and Daniele Celoria.
