We study the homology of $[P_n,P_n]$, the commutator subgroup of the pure braid group on $n$ strands, and show that $H_l([P_n,P_n])$ contains a free abelian group of infinite rank for all $1\leq l\leq n-2$. As a consequence we determine the cohomological dimension of $[P_n,P_n]$: for $n\geq 2$ we have $\mathrm{cd}([P_n,P_n])=n-2$.

We give an upper bound on the topological complexity of varieties $\mathcal{V}$ obtained as complements in $\mathbb{C}^m$ of the zero locus of a polynomial. As an application, we determine theExpand
