Summary:
An oriented link is called C-boundary if it is realizable as (∂B,A∩∂B), where A is an algebraic curve in C2 and B is an embedded 4-ball. This notion was introduced by Michel Boileau and Lee Rudolph in 1995. In a recent joint paper with N. G. Kruzhilin we gave a complete classification of C-boundaries with at most 5 crossings. In the present paper a more regular method of construction of C-boundaries is proposed and the classification is extended up to 6 crossings.
