چکیده
Through the study of Morse theory on the associated Milnor fiber, we show that complex hyperplane arrangement complements are minimal. That is, the complement of any complex hyperplane arrangement has the homotopy type of a CW complex in which the number of p-cells equals the p-th betti number.

Morse Theory, Milnor Fibers and Minimality of Hyperplane Arrangements
Through the study of Morse theory on the associated Milnor fiber, we show that complex hyperplane arrangement complements are minimal. That is, the complement of any complex hyperplane arrangement has the homotopy type of a CW-complex in which the number of p-cells equals the p-th betti number. Combining this result with recent work of Papadima and Suciu, one obtains a characterization of when ...
متن کاملNonresonance Conditions for Arrangements
We prove a vanishing theorem for the cohomology of the complement of a complex hyperplane arrangement with coefficients in a complex local system. This result is compared with other vanishing theorems, and used to study Milnor fibers of line arrangements, and hypersurface arrangements.
متن کاملAround the tangent cone theorem
A cornerstone of the theory of cohomology jump loci is the Tangent Cone theorem, which relates the behavior around the origin of the characteristic and resonance varieties of a space. We revisit this theorem, in both the algebraic setting provided by cdga models, and in the topological setting provided by fundamental groups and cohomology rings. The general theory is illustrated with several cl...

متن کاملTorsion in the homology of Milnor fibers of hyperplane arrangements
As is well-known, the homology groups of the complement of a complex hyperplane arrangement are torsion-free. Nevertheless, as we showed in a recent paper [2], the homology groups of the Milnor fiber of such an arrangement can have non-trivial integer torsion. We give here a brief account of the techniques that go into proving this result, outline some of its applications, and indicate some fur...
