Theorem (Saito)
For a divisor D in a complex manifold S, consider the following
conditions:
(A) the local fundamental groups of the complement S\D are
Abelian;
(B) in codimension one, that is, outside of an analytic subset of
codimension at least 2 in D, D is a normal crossing;
(C) the residue of any logarithmic 1-form along D is a weakly
holomorphic function on D.
Then the implications (A) ⇒ (B) ⇒ (C) hold true.

D. Pol uses a combinatorial calculation of the dimensions of
RD /OD̃ or of JD /CD0 quotient of JD by its conductor. The
relationship with the set V ⊂ Zp is then the central point.
