✦ Synopsis
Let (X,
Y
) be a minimal compactifiurtion of C 2 . In this paper, we determine the structure of such a (X,Y) in the case where X is a normal hypersurface of degree d 5 4 i n P3.
1. Introduction
A projective normal Gorenstein surface X over C is called a compactification of C if there is a closed subvariety Y such that X -Y is biholomorphic to C 2 . We shall denote simply the compactification by the pair ( X , Y ) . The Hartogs theorem shows that the' boundary Y is of pure codimension one, that is, Y is a Weil divisor on X .
A compactification (X, Y ) of Q: is said to be minimal if the second Betti number b 2 ( X ) = dimH2(X, R) = 1 (what is equivalent to say that Y is irreducible).
gives an example of a rational Z -homology plane, that is, a normal rational surface X with H i ( X ; Z ) = Hi(P2;Z) for i 2 0.
Conversely, we have
A minimal compactification of C Question 1.1. Is there a rational +-homology plane which is not a compactification of (c2 ?
In this paper, we shall mainly study the following Problem 1.2. Determine the minimal compactifications of C which are hypersurfaces in the projective 3 space P3.
Our main result is the following Theorem 1.3. Let (X,j,Y,j) be a minimal compactification of C 2 which is a hypersurface of degree d 2 2 in P3. Assume that d L 4.

We show, in particular, that if X is a locally compact second countable space without isolated points, then each point of the remainder of the space /?X is a nonnormality point of PX.
