By analogy with knot theory, complex hypersurfaces can be studied via Alexander-type
invariants of their complements. I will discuss old and new results concerning rigidity
properties of such invariants, including twisted Alexander invariants, L^2 betti numbers
and Novikov homology of hypersurface complements.
