## Abstract

Palka, K. and Koras, M. Osaka J. Math. 50 (2013), 61–114 SINGULAR Q-HOMOLOGY PLANES OF NEGATIVE KODAIRA DIMENSION HAVE SMOOTH LOCUS OF NON-GENERAL TYPE KAROL PALKA and MARIUSZ KORAS (Received May 11, 2011) Abstract We show that if a normal Q-acyclic complex surface has negative Kodaira dimen- sion then its smooth locus is not of general type. This generalizes an earlier result of Koras–Russell for contractible surfaces. Contents 1.

Main result We work in the category of complex algebraic varieties. We continue the program of classification of Q-homology planes. A normal surface S0 is called a Q-homology plane if its rational cohomology is the same as that of the affine plane C2, i.e. H�(S0,Q) Q. Properties of these surfaces have been analyzed for a long time, motivations come from studies on the cancellation conjecture of Zariski, on the two-dimensional Jacobian con- jecture, on quotients of actions of reductive groups on affine spaces or on ex
