Cohomology Rings and Nilpotent Quotients of Real and Complex Arrangements

چکیده
For an arrangement with complement X and fundamental group G, we relate the truncated cohomology ring, H≤2(X), to the second nilpotent quotient, G/G3. We define invariants of G/G3 by counting normal subgroups of a fixed prime index p, according to their abelianization. We show how to compute this distribution from the resonance varieties of the Orlik-Solomon algebra mod p. As an application, we establish the cohomology classification of 2-arrangements of n ≤ 6 planes in R4.

The Cohomology Rings of Complements of Subspace Arrangements
The ring structure of the integral cohomology of complements of real linear subspace arrangements is considered. While the additive structure of the cohomology is given in terms of the intersection poset and dimension function by a theorem of Goresky and MacPherson, we describe the multiplicative structure in terms of the intersection poset, the dimension function and orientations of the partic...
متن کاملRing structures of mod p equivariant cohomology rings and ring homomorphisms between them
In this paper, we consider a class of connected oriented (with respect to Z/p) closed G-manifolds with a non-empty finite fixed point set, each of which is G-equivariantly formal, where G = Z/p and p is an odd prime. Using localization theorem and equivariant index, we give an explicit description of the mod p equivariant cohomology ring of such a G-manifold in terms of algebra. This makes ...

Letbe a ring with an endomorphism and an -derivationAntoine studied the structure of the set of nilpotent elements in Armendariz rings and introduced nil-Armendariz rings. In this paper we introduce and investigate the notion of nil--compatible rings. The class of nil--compatible rings are extended through various ring extensions and many classes of nil--compatible rings are constructed. We al...
متن کاملOn continuous cohomology of locally compact Abelian groups and bilinear maps
Let $A$ be an abelian topological group and $B$ a trivial topological $A$-module. In this paper we define the second bilinear cohomology with a trivial coefficient. We show that every abelian group can be embedded in a central extension of abelian groups with bilinear cocycle. Also we show that in the category of locally compact abelian groups a central extension with a continuous section can b...
متن کاملHOLONOMY LIE ALGEBRAS AND THE LCS FORMULA FOR SUBARRANGEMENTS OF An PAULO LIMA-FILHO AND HAL SCHENCK1
If X is the complement of a hypersurface in P, then Kohno showed in [9] that the nilpotent completion of π1(X) is isomorphic to the nilpotent completion of the holonomy Lie algebra of X. When X is the complement of a hyperplane arrangement A, the ranks φk of the lower central series quotients of π1(X) are known in only two very special cases: if X is hypersolvable (in which case the quadratic c...
