    • Abstract

       

      In this expository article we describe some recent results on the existence and general properties of complex homology 2-cells and contractible surfaces. The motivation for these can be directly traced back to C P Ramanujam’s important paper, ‘A topological characterization of the affine plane as an algebraic variety’. We also discuss the related results of M Miyanishi, T Sugie and T Fujita.
