A Commutative Algebra for Oriented

Let V be a vector space of dimension d over a field K and let A be a central arrangement of hyperplanes in V . To answer a question posed by K. Aomoto, P. Orlik and H. Terao construct a commutative K-algebra U(A) in terms of the equations for the hyperplanes ofA. In the course of their work the following question naturally occurred: ◦ Is U(A) determined by the intersection lattice L(A) of the h...

1. Rings and ideals Definition 1.1. A quintuple (A,+, ·, 0, 1) is a commutative ring with identity, if A is a set, equipped with two binary operations; addition + and multiplication ·, and two element 0, 1 ∈ A such that: (1) the triple (A,+, 0) is an abelian group, (2) multiplication is associative: (x · y) · z = x · (y · z), commutative: x · y = y · x and distributive over addition: x · (y + z...

and we call A the zero ring denoted by 0. A ring homomorphism is a mapping f of a ring A into a ring B such that for all x, y ∈ A, f(x + y) = f(x) + f(y), f(xy) = f(x)f(y) and f(1) = 1. The usual properties of ring homomorphisms can be proven from these facts. A subset S of A is a subring of A if S is closed under addition and multiplication and contains the identity element of A. The identity ...
