Abstract:

We relate the geometry of the resonance varieties associated to a commutative differential graded algebra model of a space to the finiteness properties of the completions of its Alexander-type invariants. We also describe in simple algebraic terms the non-translated components of the degree-one characteristic varieties for a class of non-proper complex manifolds.

Key Words: Resonance varieties, characteristic varieties, Alexander invariants, completion, Gysin models, intersection form.
