Coxeter group actions on the complement of hyperplanes and special involutions

Giovanni Felder, A. Veselov (2005)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We consider both standard and twisted actions of a (real) Coxeter group G on the complement G to the complexified reflection hyperplanes by combining the reflections with complex conjugation. We introduce a natural geometric class of special involutions in G and give explicit formulae which describe both actions on the total cohomology H * ( G , 𝒞 ) in terms of these involutions. As a corollary we prove that the corresponding twisted representation is regular only for the symmetric group S n , the Weyl groups...

Gale duality for complete intersections

Frédéric Bihan, Frank Sottile (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We show that every complete intersection defined by Laurent polynomials in an algebraic torus is isomorphic to a complete intersection defined by master functions in the complement of a hyperplane arrangement, and vice versa. We call systems defining such isomorphic schemes Gale dual systems because the exponents of the monomials in the polynomials annihilate the weights of the master functions. We use Gale duality to give a Kouchnirenko theorem for the number of solutions to a system of master...

Hyperplane arrangements and Milnor fibrations

Alexander I. Suciu (2014)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

There are several topological spaces associated to a complex hyperplane arrangement: the complement and its boundary manifold, as well as the Milnor fiber and its own boundary. All these spaces are related in various ways, primarily by a set of interlocking fibrations. We use cohomology with coefficients in rank 1 local systems on the complement of the arrangement to gain information on the homology of the other three spaces, and on the monodromy operators of the various fibrations.

Local cohomology of logarithmic forms

G. Denham, H. Schenck, M. Schulze, M. Wakefield, U. Walther (2013)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Let Y be a divisor on a smooth algebraic variety X . We investigate the geometry of the Jacobian scheme of Y , homological invariants derived from logarithmic differential forms along Y , and their relationship with the property that Y be a free divisor. We consider arrangements of hyperplanes as a source of examples and counterexamples. In particular, we make a complete calculation of the local cohomology of logarithmic forms of generic hyperplane arrangements.
