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.
