Due to a result by Androtti and Frankel \cite{andreotti19}, we can see that the complement o a complex projective curve has the homotopy type of a $2$-dimensional CW complex. However, no general method has been given to compute explicitly this complex. Here we give a explicit construction of a $2$- dimensional $\Delta$-complex that is a strong deformation retract of the complement of a Fermat curve of degree $d$ in the complex projective space.

Here we give a explicit construction of a $2$- dimensional $\Delta$-complex that is a strong deformation retract of the complement of a Fermat curve of degree $d$ in the complex projective space.
The retraction is performed in several steps, using the branched cover structure of the Fermat curves to the degree $1$ case.

\section{Definition of the problem}
Given $C$ a proyective curve in $\CC^2$, Libgober gave in \cite{libgober1986} a construction of a $2-$ dimensional CW-complex that is a deformation retract of its complement. However, it is not clear how to extend that construction to the projective case (that is a curve in $\CC\PP^2$).
Given $C$ a projective curve in $\CC^2$, Libgober gave in \cite{libgober1986} a construction of a $2-$ dimensional CW-complex that is a deformation retract of its complement. However, it is not clear how to extend that construction to the projective case (that is a curve in $\CC\PP^2$).
In this work, we give a different construction to produce a specific $\Delta$-complex that is a deformation retract of the complement of a Fermat curve (which is equivalent to the case of general smooth curves).
Our construction can be easily generalized to higher dimensions. We plan to write a more detailed work including that result in the near future.
\section{Smooth curves}
Given a smooth curve of degree $d$ in $\PP^2$, we know it can be moved to a curve of the form

We are going to see that the inclusion $i:S_d\longrightarrow M_d$ induces a homotopy equivalence. To do this we first need the following lemma:
\begin{lemma}
$M_1\cap\RR^3$ is a strong deformation retract of $M_1$.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
We are going to see that the inclusion $i:S_d\longrightarrow M_d$ induces a homotopy equivalence.
We will start by doing the construction for the case $d=1$, since the general case will be constructed on top of it.
%We start by getting a retraction $r:M_d\longrightarrow S_d$ for $d=1$, and then we'll see that we can lift it.

We will now define a strong retraction $r_1:M_1\times I \longrightarrow M_1$ such that $r_1(M_1,0)=M_1$ and $r_1(M_1,1)=M_1\cap\RR^3$

This map is a well-defined deformation retract since $M_1\cap\RR^3$ has real equations.

We have now proven that:

$r_2$ is a strong deformation retraction from $M_1\cap \RR^3$ to $S_1$.

Now that we have the retractions that allow us to retract $M_1$ into $S_1$, we will lift them in order to get a retraction from $M_d$ to $S_d$.
